I had a dream where these people were after us to get back at my partner. I was running away from these people with my son (but I don’t have children in my waking life) when we got down stairs I was carrying him up a hill but he felt so heavy and I had trouble carrying him. The next thing I knew one of the men chasing us shot him three times and he died in my arms. They also shot me three times in the head but I survived. I remember crying and feeling angry because I lost my child. Soon I was in this room which felt like I was hiding. I saw that I had Ada’s and Mario’s ceremonial head dresses and began crying thinking they had been shot too. I put the head dresses together and my ceremonial group walked through the door. My heart felt at ease. We began coordinating a ceremony and as we were walking Sayuri tells me “do you want to offer Tonantzin” (a dance dedicated to the earth) I said yes. Later in the dream a man walked up to me and it felt like we were in a new relationship and he asked me if I wanted to support him in Sundance ceremony in February. Being eager I said yes and asked what dates in February because I was thinking in my head “I can’t miss Kirby’s birthday”
This dream appears to reflect feelings of fear, loss, and seeking solace and connection within a community or group. The dream may symbolize a sense of vulnerability and the struggle to carry a heavy emotional burden, possibly related to a fear of losing something important to you, represented by the child in the dream. The shooting and subsequent death of the child could signify a fear of loss or failure in waking life.
The ceremonial head dresses and the involvement of a ceremonial group suggest a need for spiritual connection and emotional healing. The presence of Ada, Mario, and Sayuri in the dream may indicate influences or relationships in your waking life that provide comfort and support in times of distress.
The new relationship with the man in the dream and his invitation to support him in a Sundance ceremony may symbolize a desire for new beginnings, spiritual growth, and a sense of purpose and belonging. Your concern about missing Kirby's birthday could symbolize a conflicting priority or commitment in your waking life.
Overall, this dream could be interpreted as a reflection of internal conflicts, fears, and desires for connection, healing, and growth within a community or spiritual context. It may be beneficial to explore these themes further and consider how they relate to your current experiences and emotions.
