i was in an empty train car with my youngest son. I looked out the back window and noticed a woman in a tent on a balcony, wailing. She was crying out, "my mother was like this when she was young, my poor mother..." repeatedly. She was on her back, but her head was facing me -- she was deformed. Our eyes locked -- and then she came running towards me. She jumped on the window of the train, and tried to enter. I tried desperately to keep her away, and told my son to stay out of sight.
This dream could be reflecting your deep maternal instincts and protective nature towards your son. The empty train car may symbolize a feeling of isolation or being alone in facing a difficult or overwhelming situation. The woman in the tent wailing about her mother could represent unresolved issues or emotions from your own past, or it could symbolize generational patterns or history that need to be acknowledged and addressed.
The woman's deformity may suggest feelings of imperfection, vulnerability, or fear within yourself or within your family dynamics. Her running towards you and trying to enter the train could reflect a perceived threat or intrusion into your personal space or boundaries. Your instinct to protect your son and keep him out of harm's way shows your strong sense of responsibility and care for him.
Overall, this dream may be highlighting inner conflicts, fears, or unresolved emotions related to your family history or relationships. It could be a call to explore and address these issues in order to find healing and peace.
