i was spending time with family out in the city when we encountered this young boy maybe 6-7 years old. hes young alone a d homeless in a ripped shirt and so we take him with us. we eventually go camping and at our campsite we give him his own little section in the middle because my family doesnt really want him there or trust him but j feel this need to support him and give him things he needs so in the nighg when everyone is sleeping i head over to my schizophrenic mothers house and essentially sneak/break in because my situation with her in my dream mirrors the one i have with her in real life, i dont talk go her but i think about her all the time sincr she abused me i have been wanting to make amends. after i get in i head to the bedroom to get clothes for the boy. it is important to mention he is around the same age as my little brother which is why i went to my moms house to steal or take some of his okd clothes and give it to this boy i just met. the clothing racks are full of branded clothes like nike and adidas and i make sure to take bew shoes and warm heavy jackets for him but i pretty much take whatever i can get for him because for some reason i just care so deeply about him. once i was almost done im stuffing the clothes into my bag when my mom wakes up. i didnt want her to realize i was stealing so i wouldnt trigger and episode from her so i think quickly and pretend i meant to wake her up because i wanted to see her for the first time in years and immediately go to hug her and it works. but i feel bad and i feel uncomfy on the situation so i try to get out soon. we talk for a bit but then i eventually head back to the camp site after getting her back to sleep. i wake the boy up and show him everything i got him and he is grateful but not overlly happy. i remember just feeling really sad before waking up like i wanted to do so much more for him but i cant since its out of my control.
This dream seems to reflect your deep sense of compassion and desire to care for others, even those who are vulnerable and in need. The young boy in your dream may represent innocence, helplessness, or a part of yourself that is in need of care and protection. Your act of taking him under your wing and providing for him could symbolize your nurturing and supportive nature.
The encounter with your schizophrenic mother and the act of taking clothes from her house for the boy may point to unresolved issues or traumas from your past that are still impacting you in some way. The branded clothes you seek for the boy could symbolize a desire to provide him with comfort, security, and a sense of belonging.
The dream could also be highlighting your internal struggles with wanting to make amends with your mother or seeking closure from past experiences of abuse. The mixed emotions you experience in the dream - feeling sad, guilty, and uncomfortable - may mirror the complexity of your real-life relationship and emotions towards your mother.
Overall, this dream may be urging you to explore and process your emotions surrounding your past experiences and relationships, and to perhaps seek support or closure in order to move forward with healing and compassion in your waking life.
