Angela,

Dreams are interesting this way. I have had dreams that I accept as very precognitive, some so much so that they were like the first, or even the same, exact experience except 'one' occurred while asleep, the 'other awake'. I also have had several VERY vivid dreams I have expected to fall out in awakened life but that never did … some things I am disappointed that did not occur outwardly, but also many others that I am certainly relieved did not occur.

I can now only see these un-manifested dreams as representations of inner states, wishes, desires, fears and other reflections of inner realities, including growth and insight. For example, I had expected to meet a blond in ‘real’ life I have dreamed about several times but it has not occurred at this late date. Rather than a ‘soul-mate’ I couldn't help but want to meet, she was/may be my pwn creation of my ‘animus’ or feminine aspect of myself, being male in body this life.

I guess one can only wait and see which type of dream it is, but in the meantime learn as much about oneself as possible from the dream. Perhaps since there were so many elements in this dream, such as the black robed women, or even your floating, not realistic in terms of this outer reality, you might learn by looking at each element in the dream as aspects of yourself. The predictions of these dark-clothed women do not have to be 'true', but again desires, fears, or even hidden wishes and hopes even though you are ‘happily' married.

Perhaps these women are parts of your own womanhood “null ing” your self. I sure could not speak for you on this. I know my own subconscious entertains many things I would not consciously accede to, or admit. Sometimes when negative characters confront me in a dream, it helps to role-play the part when I am awake, become as much as possible the character or characters, speaking aloud what they are saying to me. I can then sometimes reclaim the feelings as my own, sometimes thoughts, attitudes and feelings I might not have otherwise looked at, or acknowledged.

A baby girl in a dream, handed to you, especially with the suggestion she was made by you, could be a very positive development in your soul life, a rebirth of sorts occurring at the time of the dream. It is only our conscious adult minds labeling such things bad, or illegitimate. All those characters, the mischievous, sexy, young and tempting boys could possibly be seen again as parts of yourself. By acknowledging 'them' consciously, mastering, reclaiming their energies this could be a very healthy process inwardly, especially as it results in a new child within that fills a void in your heart. A very promising dream, I'd say. Thanks for leading off discussion. Perhaps others will want to add their two cents or their dreams. jerry b
