I dreamt that I was pregnant and birth was iminent.

I had been out all night and returned home in the morning to find my husband and father sitting on the sofa none to pleased with my escapades. (My father is deceased and I am not married). I went upstairs to wash in the bathroom and I began to bleed between my legs but not heavily, then it stopped.

I then asked my husband to help me pack a travel bag to take to hospital. We were in our bedroom and he was picking things out of the closet. He then picked up empty hangers and I told him to put them back as I wouldnt be taking them. He put them back up and they were hanging width rather than length ways, with square plastic over them with the word 'Dairy' printed on each one.

I remeber thinking that ours was not a marriage of love, but that my husband was about to change by becoming a father and I felt emotionally closer to him, although sad to lose the part of him who was no longer just a married man.

At some point my contractions started, very mild. I had two in all. Each time my mother would grab me by the hips and I would rise up into the air with her still holding my hips. The second time I landed on a table. I tried on each occasion to remove her fingers from my hips but she would'nt let go. I remeber twisting somehow and biting her fingers but they would'nt come off. The dream moved on to what felt like days later. I'd had no more contractions and the birth had'nt happened. I got the impression that although I was'nt overdue the birth was delayed, by my mother's interference.

Any thoughts on this would be gratefully received.

yup, that dream is out tehre, I am at work, and will gve this consideration adn give a poissbile explanation tonite. try not to get knocked up between now and then!!

Hi Neesoj,

I look forward to your reply and anyone else who might some insight. I do get the pregancy thing with new beginnings etc. It was just the rest of it. I will keep my legs firmly shut till I hear from you!

web your family weaved in your psyche when it comes to good girl/bad girl issues, pregnancy, freedom etc.

Good/bad we all want to be bad, some of us go ahead, you may or probably havent tested teh waters, fearful of family opinions...but you like th idea of being bad!

however, marriage is also a strong cultural thing for you, you think of it more in terms of cultural than 'i fell in love and got married' kinda thing. you do expect family to follow again as a cultural obligation..and so you expect the man to fulfil certain standards, assisting you etc...

you subconsciously feel however thatn your mother would not want you to marry too young, as maybwe she felt she did and somehow passed that feeling to you...

just guessing. you know best the truth to this dream.

My two cents...its good to be bad, cos then you know you can do it, or CHOOSE NOT TO DO IT, which is very important later when you decide to love honor and HONOR someone...which usually means forsaking other babes!!(the spouse tends to make that mandatory in US, UK etc...)
