While at Walmart with my father, I ran into a nurse. She seemed concerned for my well-being, but I brushed her off and scurried to follow my dad. He was very upset with me. In the dream, he was physically abusive. Later, dad went to the bathroom, and I sat at a table, where the nurse approached me again. She offered to adopt me, and take me into her home. I agreed. When arriving at her house, I found that my brother and best friend were already there, as well as the nurse’s husband. I was safe.
This dream could symbolize your subconscious feelings about seeking safety and security in your personal life. Your dad's abusive behavior may indicate how you feel powerless and trapped in certain situations in your waking life. The nurse in the dream may represent a nurturing and caring aspect of yourself or someone in your waking life who wants to help you. You brushing off her concern reflects your hesitation or resistance to accepting help from others. The nurse offering to adopt you symbolizes the possibility of finding a new support system or family who can provide you with the care and security you need. Seeing your brother and best friend in the new environment indicates that you will be surrounded by people you trust. Ultimately, the dream suggests a desire for safety, love, and protection.
