3 dreams (brief descriptions)

[Belly3121534312]

I debated on which forum to post this in as they weren’t quite nightmares and not specifically religious in nature. They all occurred last week (one each night, three nights in a row). The main recurring theme or vibe was that they all seemed to take place in the not too distant future (within a few years) after some major change or event had happened. I can’t really explain why they had that vibe.


3 dreams

1

We were walking up the street me, my brother, my nephew, and my mom. My sister in law was not there. We were all older by a few years or so. It was late spring/summer so somewhat humid and sunny. Everything was very green and somewhat overgrown. The cars parked in the street looked like they had not run in some time. The hum of society was gone and so there didn’t seem to be any electricity. Nephew seemed happy.

Brother and I had been arguing about the causes of whatever had happened and my mom was upset about it. About us arguing. We got to the main road and nephew had turned left to go towards the next town. Brother became pretty angry with me and turned right back towards the town on the other side of the main road. Nephew didn’t seem to notice as he was ahead of us in the opposite direction. I watched brother walk away and then turned around to keep an eye on nephew. There were people further up the road although it wasn’t clear which direction they were going. I felt bad about brother and the argument.

Nephew, mom, and myself were at her house. Brother and Sister in law were not there. It was daylight out but overcast. Something had happened with the one neighbor and his grown kids out front. They had been acting strange and aggressive towards us and I had to kind of chase them off. I went inside my mom’s house. Nephew was upstairs playing by himself and my mom was making him some food in the kitchen. It began to rain very heavily and eventually water started flowing down the street out front. It became like a river outside and the water came in the house through the windows and my mom and I had to go upstairs to get away from it.

Brother and I had been at some kind of store or outlet where people would bring packaged food and supplies and trade for what they needed. We got some things and he left and I took the stuff I had over to my mom’s. Her ceiling and walls were kind of in disrepair and bugs were starting to get in the house. They were small flying roaches and they weren’t venomous but they were mean and would bite. My mom told me to use the Raid but only a little as it was tough to come by. I remember the one guy at the little store had an Irish accent but I did not recognize him.

Hi there, Belly-number-string. Welcome.

While we hope for someone more knowledgeable to come along, let's focus on what you probably already know. These are certainly the kinds of dreams that catch your attention! Firstly, because of serious/dark tone of them (they are almost always tapping into your dread of losing things/people you care about, and "experiencing" how much worse life is without them), and secondly because you-the-dreamer are filled with detailed knowledge to support the tone (background info like memories are often front-loaded into dreams where you need perspective or context). Then there is the repetition, which is often dreams trying in various ways to *get your attention* about something impending/crucial to your growth or health.

It would be helpful to discuss how the dreams or aspects within the dream affected you (a great example is your regret over arguing and splitting with your brother--the more we dreamers can recall of these emotional tie-ins, the more clues/indicators we have to work with); do you remember anything else like that? The more detail allows us to sometimes see where the dream is "pointing". For example, we know in trying times, trust becomes very difficult to obtain and keep, and family tends to have more motivation to help each other, which is why that natural inclination exists, and so it is significant that your family splits up after the argument; your feeling that surely the argument wasn't worth seeing the nephew (who you clearly care for, and who possibly had just lost his mother) go in one direction with your angered-stubborn brother going in another.

This can be used as a wise opportunity to treat family as "too valuable to lose" even in the little things like when trying to make differing points with them. In disasters, we must stay connected to at least them to have motivations to carry on. And families are often tied to continuance/goodness, which can help balance that end-of-the-world vibe (which can also signify generic/vague loss).

One of the important things to do is rather than feel helpless about things one cannot change, feel motivated to do small things one has control over, like attitude/acceptance, and telling your family how important they are to you (especially should the end come shortly, heh). But symbolists will tell you these dreams are rich with indicators that big change is coming for you (and I contend that the dream is showing you just how important your family is/will be). Hope this helps you find some traction.
