Excellent reading! Truly! I wanted to respond with very similar responses but i had too low of a phone signal.
I tell people i live in a zombie phone signal house but honestly after a decade and a half of many people coming in for energy readings/healings the energy totally changed and has stayed for for last decade and a half as well. (Imagine Twilight Zone theme music here...) ?
Having a baby in a dream can be a metaphor for starting new in life or maybe it is all of us and our ‘new beginning’. The girl baby maybe is the feminine energy coming to the forefront of the world.
What a dream! And I love tiger-n-owl's interpretation. The above quote struck me as meaningful...your dream shows you protecting this feminine energy that is being birthed in the world, through our current chaos and crisis, and you are protecting it. Maybe the change in direction that you took, "I don't have to do this" is showing us that we don't have to go back to exactly "normal" after this crisis, but should continue the light work and energy that is coming forth to forge a new path to a better future - the future that many of you have seen and posted about here where the female energy is strong and society is more nurturing. Your Russian peasant imagery also made me think of my Ukrainian ancestors (my paternal grandparents and maternal great-grandparents) who came to this country to forge a new life. We are forging a new life now, but don't have to do it the old way. Does that make sense?
I loved all of this too! When you brought into yourself with a personal meaning and revelation I realized that as each of read @coyote dream, that each of us would share some meanings, understand and translate/ transfer others to ourselves and our lives and ongoing journey and transformation and perhaps in the end it really is the one pulling in the many into a whole.
I'm going to go slightly more literally in my interpretation. Without getting into it, long before I became a mom I had dreams and knew who was and wasn't going to be joining me as my child in this life. The punchline is that the Universe sent my husband aka the skeptic the dream that told us who our child was going to be, and it absolutely came true, including most details (minus the metaphors and allegories).
I think you had a combo dream of past life and your future in this one. I think you will have a daughter eventually. I think that since you're not ready yet, you have some anxiety around this, and so you dreamed of another time and place in which you faced great stress around having a daughter. Maybe in that prior existence you were trying to get your daughter to safety. In your dream you took control of the situation. This may mean that it will go more smoothly this time. The dream is telling you that while there may be cause for anxiety re: your daughter, you'll take care of her and keep her safe. It's as if the Universe told you "Look, bad things happened in a prior life, and you managed it then, so don't worry so much this time around when faced with a similar situation." I have no insight into any underlying situation, but it could be anything, from pandemic to war to personal medical issues (NF is genetic?). Whatever it is, you'll handle it and you'll both be stronger for it.
@cc21 and @tiger-n-owl and @laura-f
I believe it could be a combination of all your interpretations. I know that at one time 25 years ago my husband and I awoke from a dream at the same time and had the SAME dream that we were going to have a baby daughter. We both experienced the same look to her, dark hair and lashes, blue eyes, etc. It was amazing. We never did have that baby, however right after that our dear friends had told us they were pregnant and it was a baby girl - my god-daughter. I have written about her in another post here in the forum. She is a gift to us both and like the daughter we never had - and looks exactly like the one from our dreams!
So I believe one way or another you will be a father to a baby girl, could be in various ways.
Coincidentally, I don't usually write anything about my dreams, primarily because I tend not to remember them! However, I awoke this morning in a dream, most of which I can't really remember, but in the dream I had had a baby when I was young, but it was taken from me by my parents and given away. I can't remember any other details....just thought it was strange!?
This morning as I was looking for where I filed the PDF for the unemployment handbook on my computer, I weirdly came upon this dream of mine from 2014. It seemed significant to find it today in a old dusty corner of my computer files, especially because it featured my Dad, who has been with me in many ways in spirit these past days and weeks...he has showed up in many ways.
I have so many dreams, long and complex often, and I am fearful of boring you all, but I feel the strong connection to what you have all been saying with Coyote's dream, and other's dreams of babies. (In fact, the morning that you posted your dream, Coyote, I dreamed of beautiful babies with crystals and polished stone spheres in them and in their hands. Someone asks, "Can we give/sing Kirtan or some other devotional to them? I answer, "Of course! It is delightful to do so.")
This is the dream:
Jan. 5. 2014 Uncharted Territory
I am traversing uncharted territory in the sky. There are places where land rises up into the sky and becomes an amalgam of both. Also of mists. Shangri La?
I go up. I am alone, but have the sense that others like me have stumbled to this site/sight, and have left some relics of their passage through. It is thrilling and beautiful and strange. Eventually, I get the sense that it is time to come down and get back, so I put on roller skates and skate down through layers of physicality. I skate down long swooping paths, spiraling down from this mountainous mysterious place. At the bottom of the path it is very dark and enclosed, and I go very fast in a complete corkscrew circle ending by emerging into the light. Two young mothers and their babies in strollers are at the bottom (that I have to carefully pass). A young teenage boy is with them also. I smile at them and delight in the babies. They are Mayan or Tibetan looking. The moms are kind of stern looking, but not so standoffish as to be impolite. The young boy is more open-faced. They are telling him to go get something--perhaps transportation. As we all wait there, a large crowd forms, and we are all waiting for something. It is as if we are at the edge of a parade route. One person moves their car out of a parking place, and immediately another barrels into the spot from the other direction, claiming it.
Some people get out and come over to me. They want me to do something for them, and they are asking the crowd generally for others to volunteer also...to drive? to communicate something for them? I realize that I have a couple of cell phones belonging to my daughter Zoe's friends in my pocket, and I am somewhat concerned about abandoning one responsibility to take up another. How will her friends find me to retrieve their phones?
The people from the car are a bit intense and intimidating. I feel as if I might have to put the one mission aside as not as pressing, while I do something for this group. It is not as if they are forcing me, but they are strange and intense and challenging.
Interestingly, Dad comes through the crowd and offers to drive for them--in search of someone? I am amazed to see him striding forward like that and offering to do something potentially dangerous, and worried for him inasmuch as his health issues would seem to contraindicate his taking on this responsibility.[This dream came to me a little over a year before his death, at a time when he was much debilitated from Parkinson’s.] However, he looks good and purposeful and steady on his feet, and I think, why not? If he dies attempting this, perhaps it is a good way for him to go, being bold and assertive and a free agent choosing to participate. He certainly appears self-possessed. So, I see him leave with a contingent.
Most everyone around us seems to be Guatemalan or Mayan/Central American to judge by their appearance. But not quite that either. It is sort of an angular Asian look, with cafe-au-lait complexion and black straight hair, but also rounded Indian cheeks. In fact, the way they look does not really conform to any group I can think of--quite a foreign compilation of features. Their bearing is dignified and demanding.
I think part of what I am waiting for and perhaps aiding to occur, is for oodles of little babies to come spiraling down the chute from the land/sky place, like passels of puppies sliding down a chute. Loads of healthy, happy little babies that somehow I helped be able to arrive here. So I think all of us are ultimately involved in a good thing, though the circumstances are odd and we come at it from different angles.
The other part is that I am returning to a celebration that Zoe (daughter, teenager at the time) is taking part in (this was an earlier portion of the dream, and I return back to those proceedings). It is also why I have her friends' cell phones on me.
Zoe is wearing a beautiful white dress, short and flared, emblazoned with a bright, red flower in the bodice. She looks really great in it, and she tells me she decided on the short dress in preference to the longer ones most of the young women are wearing. She also gives me something to wear for the ceremony--a longer white/pearl dress. I keep stepping on the diaphanous hem of the fabric as I walk barefoot in the grass with her. We are walking in a garden in the sunlight. Some of the other girls in longer dresses are visible now and then. Zoe's dress is unusual but really works--it looks unburdened and free, ready to fly, whereas the longer dresses appear a bit mired in tradition somehow. Zoe's step is imbued with that freshness and strength also. I think the ceremony is some type of graduation.
---------------
So there are elements of birth and death in this dream, of discovery and challenge, and of celebration of passage from one phase of life to another. I appreciate any thoughts that others might have. I am trying to learn how I am supposed to use my copious dream material, and I thought maybe this would be the group to give me guidance and support in this. I apologize for length of my post.
Now I'm looking back on this and wondering if this doesn't apply to the Covid-19 virus, which makes me wonder about the stone dragons since they came out of American soil.
I’m new here—thank you for letting me join. I’ll just get right to the point because I’m feeling pretty stressed. About 6 months ago I had the thought I would lose my husband to a pandemic disease. I didn’t think too much about it at the time. I have had many many experiences over my life when I have known something would happen and it does. My question is—does it have to be like this? Is there anything I can do to change the outcome even if this is the way it is supposed to happen? Should I tell him? He’s a firefighter.
@leighh I've known a lot of people who have premonitions of impending danger. I understand how terrifying it is. I have gotten them too. I want to say a few things. Barring a chance to do a one on one private reading with you, my response is likely very rough and might not fit you, since I don't know you and do not have the bandwidth to "read" people in the forum, so please forgive me if it doesn't fit you.
First -- You said that you "have had many many experiences over your life when you have known something would happen and it does. " I want to challenge that belief. It is more likely that you remember the premonitions that did happen and have forgotten the many visions you've had that didn't come true. It's not that I'm saying you aren't psychic. Of course you are. I see that. And since I don't know you, I could be wrong. But usually that's the way the psyche works. I've known many psychic people who get premonitions like that and they don't come true, at least not in the literal way they got it.
Premonitions involving danger often are warnings, not destiny. Your husband's risk in the pandemic is that he could be a first responder to someone with COVID who can't breathe.
If that is true, then can you help him protect from getting COVID?
Does he have preexisting conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure or asthma? He's not likely to die from COVID if he's healthy but he also should wear PPE if he is responding to COVID cases.
There is also the possibility that your vision is a premonition of your fear, the fear you now feel in this pandemic because he is a first responder. We get visions, yes, and then we get it wrong in the way we interpret them. We even distort the vision in our memory as our minds try to make sense of what we envisioned. I'm not saying you @Leigh, are wrong. I don't know you, so I can't tell unless we do a one on one.
I would take the vision as a warning for him to reduce his risk factors. Wear PPE, take immune boosters, better diet, and perhaps you yourself know where his vulnerabilities are which again, might be why you got the premonition.
