Hello chi chi,
This is quiet a complicated Dream to unravel so I'll try to address it in smaller more maneageble proportions.
My dream starts with me and a child being at a seaside resort. This child felt like mine in the dream but i dont recognise him from reality. It was a warm sunny day and we just had t-shirts on the sky was clear blue.
A Beautiful environment within a dream is really quiet a blessing in my view , It takes you away from the rigours of everyday life, To find yourself in such Holiday surroundings indicates your subconsciouse giving you a much needed holiday, It's way saying to your physical body, You are perhaps overdue a small break away or indeed a holiday.
The Child that felt like yours is in my initial feeling your very own inner child. Which would also appear to need to get out into the open air.
We were just walking round the precinct when we found ourselves facing a lovely church. Just in front of the church was a priest he was giving some kind of sermon, but there were no perishiners there. Because we were across the road from the church i couldnt hear what he was saying but i was fascinated by him and the church and just stood there staring.
This sounds incredibly Spiritual to me, The Church and the Priest being as adequate metaphors for faith as you likely to find. There was a message from your Faith for you , but it was out of earshot. The fact that there were no Parishioners is indicative that the message of the Sermon was for you and your Inner child. This can be frustrating. However, Often these messages do not require comprehension as they are communicated directly to your heart. So even if you could not hear , let alone understand the message from the Priest, You will, I feel have recieved the message loud and clear.
As a clue to this, try to notice if there has been any change in your feelings, not necessarily how you think about something, because in all likelyhood that may well have not changed at all. However , How you feel should be showing signs of a change in this particular respect.
I wasnt there long when i was joined by a woman and her 2 children she was my friend in dream but i dont know her or her children in reality. We set off back towards the beach when we came to a talent show, just for kids. It was good as we watched little ones getting up and singing.
Here again we see a reference to Child like things and the joy and excitement associated with such like. You were joined by others too,This made me wonder if a number of people in your environment had possibly been taking things a little too seriously and perhaps not taking the appropriate time to unwind a little and even have a little fun.
We didnt stay long as the children wanted to go and play, so we set off again towards the beach. The children were happy and were really excited but they were good and never ran off. Near the beach there was a fun fair loud music and lights as well as the smells were inviting not just to the children but to us too.
There is a pattern forming here as once again we see the need for recreation. There appears to be an invitation from your subconscious to have a little fun and happiness here.
Before we got there it started to rain it was going dark too. We both thought it would blow over but the rain came down fast and we told the children we had better go home and come back later. They didnt seem disappointed and still they were happy enough even though we were all soaked by this point.
This was interesting to me, External influences, The Weather put a dampener on the situation and the Children remained unperturbed, I wonder though, Whether the adults in the party might have felt disappointed by the turn of events, This message was very clear to me.
We can attribute our circumstances to external events. Yet the choice of how we choose to feel about those external events rests fairly and squarley with us the experiencer. We can decide whether something will get us down.
I asked if we was going the right way and my friend said yes we are going the right way but i was unsure but accepted that my friend knew her way. The sky was so black at this time it felt like it was late at night. We turned onto a country lane the road was quite muddy and full of pot holes. I was at this point pushing the little boy in a pram. A car was coming up behind us and i moved over to the otherside of the road remembering to always face oncoming traffic.
There is an indication here that the path can be a little tricky at times, potholes ,Mud etc and you placed your trust in your friend, this once again is reference to faith, Trusting in forces outside yourself to guide your way. All the time taking your inner child with you.
The Car seems to be a newer external influence coming into play.
I didnt move back to the other side but my friend and her children did. It was not long after we came to a sharp corner in the road as we turned the corner i noticed there was a row of terrace houses on the left. My friend was ahead of me as she wanted to get home as quick as she could as our partners were due home from a days fishing.
The terraced Houses are a representation of lasting stability in a dream, The sharp bend in the road , merely another indication of just how far from straight and narrow our journeys can be in this life.(With regard to the fishing, another Biblical reference springs to mind as I believe Fishermen figure in the New Testament at points. So we come back to Faith here) Your Friend going on ahead is an indication that someone close is doing something differently to the way you are approaching a similar if not the same issue.
As we carried on down i heard another car approaching from behind this car didnt have his lights on and as he came out of the bend at speed i knew he was going to stop in time. My friend didnt hear the car coming and the car mowed the two children down. The boy was hurled through the air whilst the little girl was trapped under the wheels.
This is clearly a disaster resulting from singlemindedness . In rushing ahead and sacrificing consideration in favour of achieving a goal significant collateral damage has been incurred, Your slower more cautious approach is paying dividends. It feels like someone you know is rushing without thinking a little. Or maybe even you yourself have considered cutting corners in favour of speed. This is your subconscious warning of the dangers of trying to race ahead.
My friend was screaming and a man got out of the passengers side and ran. A woman with long brown hair got out of the drivers side. I was frantically trying to find my phone but remembered i had left it behind. I screamed to the woman to ring for an ambulance but she just said calmly as if it didnt matter, hang on i am ringing, but she wasnt it was like nothing had happened in her eyes.
This is an indication of how helpless you feel sometimes, The picture emerging here is that your advice is not being listened to and you feel quiet frustrated by this.
The Flip side of this was that panicking after the event , despite your best efforts to prevent such an occurence, is a little like closing the Gate after the Sheep has bolted.
Then a man from one of the houses came running out struggling to put his coat on and ring for an ambulance at the same time. I was stood there in shock at what i had just seen but at the same time i seemed to be calm. I couldnt go over to the car and i have no idea where my friend had gone, but the woman that had run the children over just stood there like she hadnt a care in the world.
Help coming from an outside source in this respect (The Man coming from the House) The car Woman and your friend being in the midst and involved with the issue.
In summary, then;
You are involved in a situation whereby you see another or others trying to run befor they can walk, you cannot see any good coming of this, in fact you do anticipate tears before co coa in this respect, It is a serious issue hence the inner child being kept at bay, You have faith in yourself and know that your cautious approach will at length prove it self sound.
The situation you are involved in does have an objective but the way to that objective is subject to sudden change, You are adaptable and less singleminded, as a result you are better able to cope with the unexpected, Along the way towards this objective it will be good to make time for yourself to enjoy too.
It is my hope that some of this made sense to you.
