Holy moly!
It's already been like 3 months since I opened this account! I can hardly believe it! Time does go by too fast, for sure. At any rate, I know that I don't have any followers as yet, but I still think I need to blog about something. So, no time like the present. I wanted to talk a little bit about a recurring dream I have.
They say that approximately 53.5% of people have recurring dreams. That is more than half of humanity. Also, 51% of people believe that their dreams have meanings or express their inner most thoughts, desires and/or fears.
So, I suppose that it isn't too strange that I have had this dream in a variation of ways since I was about 12 or 13 years old.
First ... the dream.
The very first time I had this dream I was in my very early teens. Like I mentioned above, somewhere between 12 and 13. But, even then it was very impacting. Mostly, because every time I have it, it feels so very real. I swear I can see colors, smell scents, it is tangible ... The best way to describe this dream is to day that it feels like it is happening to a me from another life or an alternate life.
I am constantly dreaming that I am taking care of a baby. A new born usually. In every single one of those dreams I am protecting that baby from evil.
In some of the dreams demons come and try to attack the baby while in the care of its parent. Then, the parent hands it to me and I fight off the demons, all the while, ensure that the baby is safe.
Other times, the baby belongs to someone close to me and it is in harms way. So that person hands the baby to me stating that he/she is sure that the baby will be safe in my care. Then, wanting to guarantee the baby's safety, I flee, hoping that I've made the right choice for its well-being.
In some occasions, the baby is my own and an evil force is after it. The evil force not only wants to destroy me, but also my baby. I find myself fighting tooth and nail with evil just to ascertain our safety.
There have also been some variations of the dream where I have adopted a sick baby and tried to nurture and nurse it to good health.
Suffice it to say, as I mentioned already, the common threads in this recurring dream are me, the baby and something trying to destroy it/us.
What's the significance of the baby?
Different people believe different things as it pertains the the significance of the baby in the dreams.
Some believe that the baby is a manifestation of self and that you are seeing your inner innocence and purity.
Others believe that the baby represents new beginnings and how they impact self. For example, possibly a new business that will start and how that will affect your life.
I've heard some religious organizations state that being given a baby to take care of in a dream means that God is giving you a ministry to take care of and grow.
I've also heard that this can be very realistic in nature and that you will be given a job to do and you will be expected to grow that job to its fullest potential.
The most recent interpretation that I've been given is that a baby in your dreams speaks of your nurturing nature and how you are naturally trusted to do what's best, so people have no qualms putting things in your hands.
Whatever the case, I am not sure. All I know is that this baby is constantly following me in my dreams. To what end? Only the Universe knows.
What do y'all think?
