Wednesday, 06 October 2010 -- Day 290 (303)

I dreamt about Mom again last night.  That's been happening more lately, and last night she spoke to me.  I was in a hospital room w/ two beds and two recliners, and I think my daughters were in the room w/ us too.  I was in one bed, and I told Mom that she should sleep in the other bed, but she said, "No, I'll sleep in the recliner."  At that point Maddy's band teacher came marching through our room, and the whole scene shifted to me driving Ron's white Chrysler convertible w/ red interior.  The top was down, and it was raining. 

Once again I turn to my dream interpretation website, http://www.dreammoods.com.  Being in a hospital means I have a need to improve my mental and/or physical health.  Well, that's right on the money considering I've had this cold for five days now.  Apparently Mom was there to take care of me just like I talked about in last night's entry.  Maybe the girls were there w/ me b/c I'm concerned about their physical and mental health as well.......yep, I'd say that's right on the money too. 

Seeing Maddy's band teacher gets a little tricky.  Since she isn't exactly my teacher, I'm not sure if this applies, but to dream of a past or present teacher means I'm seeking advice or guidance.  I certainly could use the assistance of someone who has dealt w/ the traumatic teen years, especially the trauma of a teen w/ a chronic illness.  But I'm not usually one who asks for help and assistance.  The website also suggests that dreaming of a teacher means I feel like I'm being "put to the test."  This one is probably closer to the truth since I've felt lately that my ability as a mother has been in question.

To quote Dream Moods: Your Dream Symbol Interpretation (www.dreammoods.com), "To see or dream that you are in a convertible, refers to your glamorous attitude. You are showing off your power and influence."  Wow!  I have a "glamorous attitude."  Must've been all those Bette Davis movies I watched yesterday when I was home sick.  I think, however, being in the convertible in the rain negates that attitude and influence.  Rain can symbolize anything from tears and sadness to cleansing and renewal.  The former is definitely where I'm at.

I think then that my dream last night meant that I have a need to heal mentally and physically, but I'm just so sad right now b/c I feel I'm being tested.  Well, I know the secret to doing well on any test is to get a good night's sleep so that's where I'm headed.  Hope I pass.
