scary dream Kate. as someone said, maybe don’t take your dreams literally. i dreamt the other night that i was a contestant in australian idol and had to dress up in 80′s gear and sing ‘true colours’ and was panicking that i couldn’t remember the words lol. i hope for everyone’s sake *that* never happens!

I believe in dreams. Throw the clothes she was wearing in the dream out.

Maybe my belief in dreams is why I worry about Isaac so much. It’s funny though, I rarely worry about Amy. (except in the normal mummy way)

I think dreams are generally more about us than about those we dream of.

At boarding school I used to do dream analysis.

Perhaps she is growing away from you, and your relationship is that which is so calm and beautiful but you are realising it has to grow and you are fearful of how to cause that change when it is so calm and beautiful right now?

Have any repeat happy dreams?
Anything odd yet neutral?
If a persistent dream were pleasant would you give it as much significance?
Not to down-play any real anxiety but to add perspective.

I don’t think the Zoe in your dream is literally Zoe. Dreams speak in metaphores

You have partly explained it yourself – half of you is the practical Capricorn the other half is arty Aquarius. The Zoe that is drowning could be that part of you not being able to fulfil your creative life.

Just a thought.

To be honest, Im not really sure if i belive dreams or not. I think maybe it could be aniexty related? Who knows…
Im sorry you keep having this bad one though, it’s not a nice feeling to wake up to.
When my girl was just a newborn, I used to have nightmares about leaving my baby on the side of the road in her car capsule.. Or I would leave her on the roof of the car (not that i ever put her on the roof or the side of the road!).
Looking back now, I think it was connected to my P.N.D.

I’m an aquarian! We rock way harder than capricorns :lol:

I think mostly dreams are the brains way to processing the day and other things. Sometimes though there are dreams that mean more. I don’t think it’s in terms of prediction or anything, more in the way that your subconscious is trying to explain something. I don’t put much stock in those dream books. I tend to think the only person who can interrupt a dream is the dreamer.

You’ve been through a lot with your girls, perhaps stressful situations brings some of that old stress back up? All in all though, what does your gut say?

Oh Kate, it sounds terrifying :(

I’m not sure I beleive in the “premonition, this could come true” side of dreams but I do think it’s a manifestation of stress. Just like all those pregnancy leave the baby on the bus type dreams I just think it’s a reflection on some sort of stress. I don’t really think it’s as literal as stress that she could have a physical accident with water, perhaps more that you’re generally concerned for her or worried about something in particular – maybe you’re anxious about the whole school thing??

((big hugs)) because even if it means nothing, its not fun xx

A mummy dream! Why your anxiety is focused on one child only, I do not know?

My anxiety dream, is that my child is kidnapped. I see her being dragged away (we no longer own the clothes she’s in) and there is nothing I can do. Like you I can taste the fear and wake with a deep sense of loss.

Oh Kate.

I believe in dreams. I believe they are powerful.
Hugs.

I dreamt that Will died.
I always listen to my dreams now.
