Strange dreams...what does it mean if you see yourself in one?

Question

I was riding in a van with my friends as well as my mom and my brother. My mom was pregnant in my dream and she kept squishing me with her belly every time the car turned the corner. One of my friends mentioned how my glasses were dirty. I told him it didn't bother me and I went to clean them In which I ended up breaking them and the first thing I wanted to do was go to an optometrist and get them fixed but know one seemed to listen to me. Soon we arrived at a shopping centre. My brother and my friends went into a restaurant, but instead I followed my mom to the lower levels of the mall begging her to let me get my glases fixed. She then arrived at a formal looking dinner area and I realising she wasn't going to listen went back to my friends defeated. I was crying profusely. Then I realised the the one carrying on was the seven year old version of myself. We then got into a fight and then the 12 year old version came to settle the dispute. It was weird.

Answer 1

That is one strange dream but an interesting one. Maybe you are strugling with change in your life or just afraid of it. Maybe you feel that you are not heard or understood well.

I was also thinking that could have been you maybe in your mothers womb. Not sure what that would mean but an interesting thought.

Answer 2

Your mom being pregnant represents a issue in her life in which she is carrying which is about give birth. From your dream what ever she is about to give birth to is being shown to your or force on you, that's why she kept squishing you with her belly. As for the part about your glasses being dirty, that represents that you are seeing things from a earthly, fleshy, carnal, even sinful point of view (or not clean). But, because you tried to fix your glasses (or spiritual vision)on your own wisdom and strength, you actually made things worse. As for you arguing with yourself. The 7 year old represents the humbleness and innocence. While the 12 year old represents the age of attaining wisdom. You are wrestling with your own good and bad morals.

Answer 3

This dream definately relates to some deep issues with your mother.

Her being pregnant might point to an important project,job,distraction or task she is currently undertaking? and your feeling that she is not leaving much room for you in her life? hence you feeling 'squished' or unimportant? you are merely pushed into some corners of her life?

Pregnancy may also relate to general motherhood or your feelings about her as a mother?

Glasses being dirty suggest a fogginess/lack of clarity in our perception,in the way we see things,an inablity to view or understand things properly,a dim view of relationships or life.

You attempt to remove this skewed view by cleaning the glasses,but end up breaking them instead,losing clear insight and your ability to see whats really going on in your life.

You desperately want to have a better understanding of life/others [fixed glasses],to see things the right way,or you need some sort of clarity/guidance?You are in a "shopping centre" so you are intent on getting this thing you need?

You look to your mother to provide this insight and clarity,to help you percieve and make sense of life [the glasses] but she is of no help and does'nt care.The formality of that scene suggests your mother is formalised or prefers to hide emotional needs under a veil of manners.Infact you go to the lowest levels [to your deepest needs] in order to get to her.You end up in tears over this.

These childhood versions of yourself only means that this is a very old need you've carried since childhood.

Answer 4

This dream is related to your mom. She has a problem that she is hiding to you (Pregnant). May be her problem refers to something that happened 7 years ago (in relation with you). May be you are experiencing this and you couldn't understand the reasons of her problem (Dispute).

Go back to the events (Mom & You) of 12 years back, then you could understand (Dispute settled).
