Today’s guest dream leads the dreamer toward a glowing
transformation.
The
Dream: I dreamed I was present at the birth of another woman's baby. It
was very large for a newborn, plump and mature looking. The baby was big
enough to weigh about 20 pounds but it was not at all heavy to hold. I held the
baby close to my breast immediately; it wanted to nurse but of course I
couldn't comply. I covered both of us up with a sheer yellow fabric.
The baby sat quietly in my lap and we both looked toward the light that
surrounded us. It didn't matter that we could not see beyond the fabric. Inside
our glowing yellow light-weight tent, we were safe and warm without
distractions. We were both pacified.
Carla’s interpretation: In my version
of your dream, I am experiencing the emergence of a new sense of who I am and
what I do. That I refer to the baby as an “it” rather than a “her” or “him”
tells me that the baby represents an abstract quality: some important aspect of
myself is being born. This new me is not yet integrated into the self I know,
so I see the person who is giving birth as another woman. My creativity is
channeled through this newly emerging self (the woman's new baby). The baby
looks good to me (good-sized, plump, and mature looking) and I want to nourish
it. Although I take it to heart (my breast), I am not quite ready to feed this
new self. I need to acknowledge that its mother and I are one and the same. I
find a safe and beautiful place, the color of life and enlightenment (yellow,
sunlight) for me and the new baby to be together while I wait until I can
recognize that what seems like someone else (the mother of my most precious
creative force) is me.
