Life is an adventure but Life doesn't come with user manuals for everything. School subjects do little to prepare us. Its no wonder we all need helpful advice sometimes. Blessings to you!

Hi. Last night i had a strange dream where the girls in my family were trapped inside this house and there was a scary man who threatened us all the time. We kept thinking of ways to leave the house but he had two guns.
the strange part of the dream was that I was expecting. It was so surreal to me that I was shocked in the dream. I am 20 years old and I have never been in any relationship like this nor do I have any plans. I don't consume any media that would make me thirst for motherhood. The closest i have come into contact with a baby is baby sitting (when i was 12 and then when i was 17).
is this dream just random rubbish? The man was my old teacher who was awful at teaching his subject and got scammed a lot. I don't know why he was there or why he was holding guns. I do not have any brothers and my father (Thank GOD) is extremely loving and caring, we all get along with him well. Was this my brain creating a weird show? Either way, this dream keeps haunting me and leaves a strange taste in my mouth. I dont want to have a child right now, i am scared. Please help , thank you
You had this dream once and it haunts you? Try having a dream somewhat like yours and having the exact dream over and over again. I had it when I was in my 20s and it only went away in my forties but something changed in how I thought about some things and I believe that may have helped it go away since in the last 20 years I haven't had it at all. Yes, as said before, dreams can be nonsense especially if you had it only once or twice. But if routinely having the same dream, it is most likely symbolic of something. It is usually something a person needs to grow past a belief or stance or something going on in life or will be at some point.
I understand you are only 20, the age I was when I married although you say you have no plans for anything like finding a man to marry and have kids with him. If you don't want children, thats okay. I have a daughter without kids who does not want them either.
You can find some sites on line or a book that explain the symbols in dreams. Such as riding in car, doesn't mean you are going to go for a ride in a car. Its about the car being transportation and moving you from one spot to another which in essence is a trip or journey. Then it may be about taking a vacation, changing where you live such as moving from one place to another. It can also mean the journey of going from one job or position in a job to another one. Being pregnant is about giving life to a new human. It symbolizes something new is going to come your way, but it isn't a baby. Before I had kids, I had one dream about water breaking, and a baby ready to arrive, I was lying down and within a couple minutes a baby came, without an ounce of pain on my part and I thought, it would be nice if childbirth will be this easy. But no, I felt the labor pains years later when I had my first of 3 kids. I don't know you so even my guesses on potential meanings won't match your life. I can only guess based on the little you shared.
The bad guy threatening you and other female household members and then in real life how you see your dad, make me wonder if you are subconsciously worried about a joke of a man ever being in your life, like married to. Since there were no males in the house, I would assume the representation is for females only. SO your concern over who you may meet someday and date, will he be for real or the kind who leaves you waiting at the alter or the one who marries but instantly forgets to honor, love and cherish you. When we feel powerless to avoid such a possible outcome in our livs, its going to haunt us, yes and possibly could be why you saw this. If and when you are ready for some help on determining if a guy is Mr. Right for you, I have things to share, same stuff I went through when seeking a second husband. I was very careful, but critical and not leaving guys room for mistakes when I started down that road but I was older and wiser. Just remember me and write to me by looking up my name in here, dragonflymagic and remind me what you need as I won't know who you are. This is all total confidence, I know nothing by which I can identify you even as someone I talked to a week ago. If you want to hear my story of my repetitive dream that went away, and what exactly made it go, I am glad to share, let me know. I just remembered a sister of mine who had repeat dreams of disaster, something like a big Tsunami. None were in the news. She had the dreams a couple months, almost every night. Then finally hurricane Katrina hit and her dreamss stopped. It was a premonition but her only one time in life she had a true premonition. Mine did not stop due to something happening in the world though. Mine was about changing how I beleived.
(Rating: 5) Thank you! That really helped a lot and things are better for me now.
