DREAM
I was at a party at my best friend’s house. As I was leaving, she hugged me much longer and tighter than normal. I next noticed that I had misplaced my purse and began to look for it. I finally found my purse and as I was walking down the path outside, I looked inside it and there was a new born baby boy wrapped in a blanket. I thought, ‘What am I going to do with this baby?’ I was thinking about leaving him at a hospital before I woke up. 

INTERPRETATION
The central theme of this dream is value. Your best friend, your purse and the baby are all precious blessings of life that require nurturing and protection. Your friend, who is actually an aspect of your self, acknowledges this truth with a special hug. However, there is another, more familiar, aspect of your self that isn’t as careful; the part of you that misplaces the purse and considers leaving the baby at the hospital.

Your dream brings the tension between these two aspects of yourself to your consciousness. Part of you is reluctant to accept responsibility but another part completely embraces the wholeness of life. The presence of the baby shows that this new perception is now with you and is ready to be integrated into your life.

As you travel along your life path you will meet with the unexpected (like babies in purses!). These unexpected events, people and circumstances will be both gifts and challenges. The trick is to recognise the experiences and people of value and accept the rewards and the responsibility that comes with them.

DREAM

I have recently been accepted as a new member of a women’s circle.

We were all in rooms of an old Queenslander house. One of the circle leaders had given me the job of helping with birthing. I was very excited and floating around the room. The leader called me into the next room and we witnessed the birth of a baby! I looked at the baby for a short time and then cleared its throat. 

I’ve now been paired with that circle leader as my mentor/buddy. Cool.

INTERPRETATION

Babies are primarily a symbol of newness, creativity and promise. Clearing the baby’s throat brings to mind breathing new life, a breath of fresh air, a new voice. By joining this group, you have given yourself the opportunity to express something that has been developing inside of you for some time (just like a baby growing in the womb).

The house being a Queenslander ties in with clearing the baby’s throat; this style of house was designed to catch the breeze. In keeping with the airy theme (you are literally floating), you will be exposed to many new ideas. Although shared with the other members of the group, the indoor setting indicates that the dream is about your inner journey.

As dreamers, we are the characters that appear in our dreams. Each character represents a different aspect of the self. As a new member, you are like the baby of the group, welcomed with open arms and eager to learn. You also appear in the dream as yourself, excited to be embarking on this new adventure with like-minded people. And within yourself there is also a wise and experienced teacher directing your actions.

This is definitely an auspicious dream. It indicates good fortune for you and for the group. Either that or you’ll soon be pregnant. (Joking!)
