Hi there, Last night i dreamt about my sons. It has been a long time since i had a dream like that. (I havent seen them in 2 and a half years) In the dream i was walking on the sidewalk when i watched a car drive up and stop. The person driving got out of the car and all of a sudden i realized it was my oldest son Jake. The strange part was that i knew he was only 14! Anyway, at first i thought he was going to walk past me and not acknowledge me...but i was surprised that he stopped directly in front of me. With him in the back ground was my younger son Evan and some buddies of theirs. IT kind of felt like Jake was trying to connect with me....we stared at each other.....then we started talking....i remember wanting to reach out and touch him. My younger son was disinterested ....seemed distant....anyway Jake and i did hug......then the dream switched....and he had driven me to a Casino....and all the boys came inside.......I went in there to the back with them following me...and i found a slot machine with money still in it...so i started playing....then it paid out a bit and i pulled out. Then a lady came to me telling me that i should have pulled the money out before i started because it was hers. Then the focus switched back to my sons....to my oldest....and we were in a hurry because i didnt want them to get into trouble for being with me. I remember distinctly that it was 7 oclock...they had been with me for four hours. Jake then got on the phone and spoke to his dad...telling him why he was late....an excuse and no mention of me. Then i remember hugging Jake again...Evan wasnt really interested....and i wanted to just hug him so tightly so i could take him into myself...then i had to let them go...and watched Jake drive away. As this dream is so weird...can you help me figure it out? Your help is appreciated. Kate |

Hi Kate!!!
This interpretation is what came to mind as I read your dream. Keep this in mind as you read my interpretation. There are many interpretations to dreams and this is only mine. Your dream is in quotations, mine is afterward without the the quotation marks.
"Last night i dreamt about my sons. It has been a long time since i had a dream like that. (I havent seen them in 2 and a half years)
In the dream i was walking on the sidewalk when i watched a car drive up and stop. The person driving got out of the car and all of a sudden i realized it was my oldest son Jake."
First off, you are not driving the vehicle, your son is. This means your son may have control of your feelings when it comes to your relationship.
"The strange part was that i knew he was only 14!"
If he is older than 14 now, but he was only 14 in the dream, could be symbolic of "when" you lost your feeling of control of your relationship with him (when he was 14) but, could also be symbolic of a time when you became disconnected with self, at age 14.
"Anyway, at first i thought he was going to walk past me and not acknowledge me...but i was surprised that he stopped directly in front of me."
This could be symbolic of your needing to deal directly first with your own feelings when it comes to your energy around your son. You assuming he would walk past you and not acknowledge you is possibly symbolic of you needing to acknowledge yourself and your own feelings (healing them).
"With him in the back ground was my younger son Evan and some buddies of theirs. IT kind of felt like Jake was trying to connect with me....we stared at each other.....then we started talking....i remember wanting to reach out and touch him."
Your need to connect with your son and wanting to touch him is symbolic of needing to connect with and become in touch with your own feelings....whatever they are...but, especially where it concerns your son. That there are buddies in the picture could mean you feel the boys may be closer to others than to you. But, it also symbolizes the need for you to become "buddies" with yourself. This dream could also mean that Jake is thinking of you (missing you) and wanting to connect again.
"My younger son was disinterested ....seemed distant"
this could be symbolic of you feeling less need to be interested in the younger son...or the younger sons feeling that you are disinterested and distant. Regardless, its also symbolic of your own distant feelings of connection with those around you because of your own feelings of disconnection that may have began or escalated as a teen.
"....anyway Jake and i did hug......"
This could be symbolic of your energy meeting in your dreams and reconnecting.
"then the dream switched....and he had driven me to a Casino"
he driving you to the casino could mean you may be obsessing over your financial situation trying to avoid your feelings, but, your financial situation may be beginning to feel the pressure of the disconnection.
"....and all the boys came inside.......I went in there to the back with them following me...and i found a slot machine with money still in it...so i started playing...."
This could be symbolic of avoiding feelings behind the world of finance, this problem going all the way to the root chakra (the back) and this problem following you till this time. You may have seen this happen in your own life as a child. You may have back problems because of the "weight" of finance. There may be a lot of energy in the family DNA surrounding money and it's influence. Everyone playing with feelings all because of money, instead of realizing that money has nothing to do with feelings...altho, money can be a replacement for feeling.
"then it paid out a bit and i pulled out."
this is the problem with money situations...it appears to "pay" to have more....even a little bit more...but, the truth is, money has a place and that place should never have anything to do with feelings or relationships, even to be used to hide within to avoid feeling all together. They should be kept completely separate.
"Then a lady came to me telling me that i should have pulled the money out before i started because it was hers."
This could be you bickering with yourself (symbolized in your life as another woman) about the importance of money and the importance of what is due you, or what you are entitled to...but, also could symbolize a competitive spirit when it comes to women and money.
"Then the focus switched back to my sons....to my oldest....and we were in a hurry because i didnt want them to get into trouble for being with me."
This could be symbolic of feeling rushed and never having the time for others and feeling like that has gotten you into trouble.
"I remember distinctly that it was 7 oclock...they had been with me for four hours. Jake then got on the phone and spoke to his dad...telling him why he was late....an excuse and no mention of me. Then i remember hugging Jake again...Evan wasnt really interested....and i wanted to just hug him so tightly so i could take him into myself...then i had to let them go...and watched Jake drive away."
This could be symbolic of needing to be a friend to yourself and feeling like you have lost something many times in your life, as if it has become routine....and so always an excuse for your overlooking your own feelings as you may be in the habit of feeling "relationship" losses that you no longer feel them, you just excuse it. Sometimes we can be so inside of one part of ourselves (lives), that we fail to see and feel other parts of our life. We make it all one thing when its really two different things. There is a place within your life that needs your attention; Your inward self and others. And because of this you may habitually avoid these spaces of "need" by filling your life so full with other things that eventually crowd these needs out...like monetary things, or working...etc. These places need your attention, but, not at the neglect of yourself or others just to avoid feeling/filling your need within and without. Your separations within your own family are symbolic of your separation within yourself that needs healing and connection. Heal and reconnect with your child self that still feels the separation, and your life situations will eventually heal themselves and reconnect.
I hope this dream interpretation has shed a bit of light on the dream.
Its only one angle and maybe there are others who can shed more light. Take what can be used and leave the rest.
Blessings,

Hi Birdy, Thank you for the response. It certainly hit a chord in me...kinda made me want to cry. One thing is for sure...the disconnect with anyone i care for is very strong...and your right im used to it now. Sad place to be. However, the dreams about my sons are coming once a week now. Latest one......my ex came up to me smiling......with papers in his hand and said...well we have decided you can see the boys again...you passed the test. then i got down on my knees in front of him and started crying hysterically. nice one eh? Still bugs me it was so strong. Thanks for all your help. Kate :) |

Kate,
It could be a dream that says you are doing what needs to be done to be healing in this area of your life. Kids only stay kids so long and then there's no more parental control, it's all their own personal choices. Continue to build a connection in your heart between you and the boys and one day that connection will play out. But, the first thing to make sure you are doing that will help heal the "whole" situation is to build a connection with your own disconnected self that disconnected way back when...maybe in the time of your teenage life, or even earlier. Recreate the caring comforting voice within that you need to hear and reconnect to now. Altho you may not be able to be their for the boys at this time, you can be there for you now so that when you reconnect with the boys, you'll no longer be disconnected from self. In doing so, you will truly feel your full self and so be available for them fully (and your grandchildren) when the time comes.
Blessings,
birdy |
