Dream Diary – Could you interpret this because it was very vivid and needs another angle on the symbolism? Visited mam and dad, they were living in another house just around the block called \u201cblue house lane\u201d \u2013 I knew they had died, so this was a peculiar atmosphere, they didn’t seem to talk to me, maybe I was a ghost. I tried to hug my mam, but she bowed her head. I kissed the top of her head. Their house wasn’t as clean as it used to be. There were bags of stuff piled behind the TV. My brother came along, and I thought we would have to do shifts to look after them like we used to when they were alive. We went outside and saw our sister in a telephone booth, who hurriedly gave me an address for a job; she was very hyped up. I couldn’t find a piece of paper to copy it, even though I was tired of looking for work, as it was disheartening. I then strangely wrote the address on the sole of my slipper, the word \u201cAvanti\u201d – looked like a bus company that is in my area called \u201cArriva\u201d. Then another dream, we visited Mam and Dad, they were talking, this time seemed happy, they had adopted a little girl, she had a striking, round face and looked very happy. She didn’t want to know me at first, but then I started to play, and she hung on my back (we call it a piggyback in my area). I think I was taking her down the escalator. I’m sure my Mam or Dad said when little children die, in heaven, we old couples adopt them to help them adjust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You\u2019ve got a two-part dream<\/strong> dealing with:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The dream moves from disconnection, clutter, struggle<\/em> \u2192 to reconnection, revitalisation, and purpose<\/em>.
