I have always found dreams to be significant in one way or another. It has always scared me when I can’t seem to interpret one. Maybe someone can help? I’ve had dreams similar to this one many times this week.

—

The dream starts with me being somewhere and doing something. Vague beginning.

The most recent was in a room/house with some people that I didn’t know and some that I knew from when I was in youth group (15 years ago). Some were flying around, some were dining at a fancy table with candle lighting. Some were making others feel bad, some were just having fun, some were sitting behind a desk where the “leader” was.

I was dragged into playing this impossible game that the people at the table created. They didn’t tell me the rules and just expected me to know.

I got confused and kind of floated near the people behind the desk. An old family friend was among this group (we left on slightly bad terms with our last in real life interaction). She was doing something and everyone else was kind of floating around her like they wanted her to love them the most. She looked at me while another old friend did. I don’t remember what they said, but it was then when I realized I left my daughter home alone.

It was night and she was sleeping. I ran outside and it was dark and post-rain and there were bushes everywhere. I was trying to find a way to get home. The old family friend and her group flew off somewhere without really saying anything. I couldn’t find a way back. There wasn’t enough time for me to get back.

Only in one dream have I made it home— and she was sleeping (Side note: THERE IS NEVER A GOOD EXCUSE TO LEAVE YOUR CHILD ALONE)

I was panicking and regretting every moment and wondering why I would do that and what I would do if something would’ve happened to her or if the cops showed up or if she went outside looking for me.

It usually ends with me waking up with panicking breaths.

That’s the most I remember.

My daughter is 2.5 and we cosleep? I don’t know if that’s relevant but who knows what might be helpful?

It’s always dark at night when this happens and pretty rainy. Not thunderstorm rainy, but rainy.
