I had a dream that I made a blanket and have it to my niece. It prominently featured a sheep blanket that we used since we were very young and I still have it. Anyway, my mom said that it wasn't good enough and I became so angry that I started yelling and cursing at her, calling her a b**** in front of my niece and nephew. Like, I hated her in my dream. But in real life, I love my mom so much and we're very close. Anyway, in the dream, I was very proud of the blanket but then it started to fall apart. I was so angry and hated that my mom was right, that it wasn't good enough. It made me more angry with her. I spent the entire day trying to fix the blanket instead of spending time with my family. I kept ignoring my mom and told her I never wanted to speak with her again. She kept saying hurtful things and occasionally I would retaliate. I remember at one point, my sister mentioned that they had a new kitten. I went into the dining room, which was our childhood dining room, with my niece and I tried to show her how to interact with a kitten. It was gray. Eventually she understood the lesson. Then she wanted water and I told my nephew to help her get water. I also had a package of a bookshelf waiting for me. There was also an apartment building. I was inside someone's apartment , someone that I knew but I don't know in real life. I was working on something when the person's mom came in and we had a friendly chat. She asked me to check on who was trying to buzz in from the third floor and I agreed to on my way out. I left the apartment and asked a woman to hold the elevator. I went in and hit for lobby, then remembered that I said I would go to the third floor. For some reason I couldn't click on the third floor and I felt very bad that I messed up and forgot to click the right floor. I got to the lobby and a woman called my name. She wanted me to look at the stairs in front of her door. I climbed with her and had to jump to another set of stairs to follow her. The stairs were made of wicker. We were then standing on an elevated, open hall with the lobby in sight below. Part of the railing dropped like it was on a hinge and the woman asked if I would help her with her lawsuit against the building. I agreed and she won her case. In Another part of the dream , I was traveling on a highway on a motor bike or electric scooter of some kind. I stopped at a gas station to get my bearings and decided not to buy food there because I figured something better would be on the way. I missed an exit and ended up on a wooded path where a man was fishing in a river. He seemed surprised to see me. I turned back but decided to take the wooded path instead of the road. The man was no longer there. I realized that I had to cross the river, but the log bridge didn't look very safe. When I pushed on one of the logs with my hand, it started to turn and push down. I didn't want to get stuck in-between the logs like wheat in a thresher, so I moved further down the river. I had to climb down along the river. Eventually, I got to a point where I thought it was safe enough to swim across. I looked around and I saw a small crucifix with Jesus. It was glowing. I started to swim across and made it to the other side, but I couldn't get out of the water. I asked for help and two men appeared to help me from the water. I don't really remember the rest and it's not exactly in chronological order as I don't really remember the events exactly as they happened. Can you help me interpret this dream and can you help me understand why I had such a horrible fight with my mom in my dream? Dreams where I fight with my mom happen one in a while ( I think the last time I had one was maybe last year) and they upset me so much once I wake up.
This dream tells a story of internal conflict, emotional turbulence, and potential inner growth. The dream starts with you crafting a blanket for your niece, a symbol of care and protection. The sheep blanket represents a sense of comfort and nostalgia from childhood. When your mom criticizes the blanket, it triggers a deep sense of anger and inadequacy, leading to a heated confrontation in the dream.
The anger towards your mom in the dream could symbolize unresolved emotions or tensions within the relationship. It may indicate feelings of not meeting expectations or seeking approval. Your dream self's refusal to spend time with family and fixate on the blanket instead suggests a focus on external validation and perfectionism.
Your interaction with the kitten and teaching your niece about it could symbolize nurturing and teaching moments amidst the chaos. The apartment building scene may represent exploring unknown aspects of yourself or your past, while the interaction with the woman reflects a willingness to help others and support them in their struggles.
Moving on to the highway and the wooded path, the motorbike ride could symbolize a journey of self-discovery and exploration. Missing the exit may signify feeling lost or unsure about a decision in waking life. Crossing the river on the log bridge represents facing challenges and fears. The glowing crucifix and the men helping you from the water could symbolize spiritual guidance, inner strength, and support in overcoming obstacles.
The dream could be a reflection of your inner conflicts, emotional struggles, and a desire for resolution or understanding in your waking life. The recurring theme of fighting with your mom in dreams may point to unresolved emotions or issues that may need addressing. It's essential to explore these feelings and perhaps communicate openly with your mom to understand and heal any underlying tensions. The dream encourages self-reflection, emotional growth, and seeking support when needed.
