Yes it was my youngest son whom was speaking to you. You were both

profiled and I did not see your face but knew it was you. I am trying

to grow but also want badly for spring to bring the buds to the trees.

Funny, right now I'm watching a couple of Mourning Doves nesting in my

neighbor's gutter.

A lamp & books and there are very large boxes all around.

That was the strange thing about the cat because I could not see the

regular spots within the coat like on a jaguar. It was very even

colored and the size and head shape did not match the jaguar at all.

Where is Timbavati? I've never looked in to symbolisms in dreams.

Normally I dream about current events in my life and resolve problems

within the dream. I do not often remember dreaming either, so on the

occasion that I do, such as the time I felt my sister's life was in

danger, I acted on it immediately and called her.

Why? That the female comes came forward first? Oh I see I said it's

not his or hers. Is that what is telling or that the home belongs to

them?

In what way?

That is strange too because my husband's mother, father, birth mother,

and aunt are all passed on. We do not often speak to his nieces and

have not gotten together since their mother passed away. We do not see

his sisters but once every two or three years but he or I will

occasionally talk if they phone.

Odd again because my husband's sisters have always been very kind. My

huband feels he sacrifices visits with them because in their family it

was normal to just have family pop in from out of town with no notice.

He has always made it clear to them that I need to be forewarned of

upcoming visits. The only one planed was our family to go see them this

summer.

No sudden movements would always be appreciated. I hate jumping out of

my skin and become rather grouchy.

At least I'm good to myself in my dreams.

The feel of the fur was so soft but the woman's hair was coarse and I

took my hand off at once. My ideal woman? I perfer the natural look

myself. Hmmmm.

That doesn't seem true at all they all seem to be about your inner

power. your ability to see clearly what others do not. the dream

about Tom is simple. you believe he can help children, you aren't

sure if you will get to meet him but it seems enough that he is with

children. Examine the text you wrote again. i would think others

would agree. You are the only one able to assist and keep in your

head facts. the suprising doesn't scare you. i would have to think

about the woman, but your inner strength may be beautiful. i think

your dreams are stunning. Don't ask non-creative people to think

Hmmm

Off to IEP and Tom was in your dream--now i think I get it. your

hope is that your child will grow into himself and except himself as

you believe Tom does. That is pretty cool

It is spring in the dream Spring is hopeful, possibility!

Well perhaps since they didn't get to see your life unfold, see the

Hmmm

Off to IEP and Tom was in your dream--now i think I get it. your

hope is that your child will grow into himself and except himself as

you believe Tom does. That is pretty cool

It is spring in the dream Spring is hopeful, possibility!

Well perhaps since they didn't get to see your life unfold, see the

They didn't see the children? They don't credit your accomplishments

I am unsure but people may have gotten in your way, misunderstood

your marriage and even be threatened by your union. you seem to
