I need help with interpreting my dream last night.

[Rainbowreflect]

I personally don't believe it was the obvious, but it scared the hell out of me.
My dream was basically about a woman who was a friend but is no longer due to me not siding with her in her divorce.
I have been spending a lot of time with her young daughter & trying to help her deal with the divorce.
In my dream I dropped the daughter off at her mother's home & she wanted to talk with me. I went into her home & she sent the daughter away. She then pinned me to the wall & started yelling at me that I was coming between her & her daughter. She started poking me with this sharp metal stick & then I could smell smoke & I realized that she had set me on fire. I tried to scream for help but the smoke kept me from being able to. Finally I whispered help & that woke me up. When I woke up I could smell & taste the smoke it was so real, but I never felt any pain even during the dream.
Like I said it really scared me, but I am not afraid of this women. I wasn't even really afraid for myself, but I felt the dream was really important.
Any ideas?

1. I wonder why you are advising this woman's daughter?

In these cases families need to work out the problems among themselves. If you have not been invited into the process, maybe the dream is a warning to mind your own business before something really destructive happens in your relationship with these people.

3. I am spending time with the daughter because I am her

godmother, we are very close, I have known her since she was born & her farther has asked for my help.
The mother has cut all of their friends & family out of her & her daughter's lives since she hooked up with a new man & walked out on her husband.
I can only see the daughter when she is with her father.

6. There is your answer.

You appear to have been placed in the father's camp in the mother's mind and are tuning into the mother's feelings about this. I'm sure the daughter tells her mother about these visits and even if what you say is very kind to the mother, it could still make her feel a certain hatred towards you. It's irrational I know, but divorce is war and war is never rational when the sides are chosen.

2. Where there's smoke there is fire...

As I read your post, that saying popped into my head. It's odd, because usually any understandings I have are visually based. This must be something mighty intense to come through that clearly for me.

Are you worried about abuse in that household for someone? Is there something there that you suspect but can't prove or maybe even verbalize? I dunno--just my two cents from out here in left field.

4. The mother has claimed she was afraid that the father might

become violent although she admits he never has. I strongly suspect that she made up that "fear" to use as her reason she took her daughter & dumped her with basically strangers for two weeks & took off with this new man.
She has a past of telling lies to make someone else the heavy for her choices.

5. Is mom a threat to her kid?

Where there is smoke there is fire--what is the fire you smell in this situation? Is it possible this is a message to you from your subconcious that mom may be a danger to the daughter?

Sorry--I am probably WAAAAY off base here...

Good luck!

7. are you conflicted?

this is a highly emotional situation, but i don't think the dream was a premonition. i don't think that woman is going to hurt you.

are you subconsciously feeling a bit of guilt over the situation? are you torn, like their marriage? a friendship ended when the marriage ended. that is a big deal in life!

each person in a dream is a part of the dreamer. what part is she playing that is actually you? why was the daughter, the young one, sent out of the room.

three people, especially of the same gender, shows wholeness, then one, the youngest, is sent out.

8. I think you may have something there.

The ex-friend was a big part of my wild past. I miss her, but I could not continue to turn a blind eye to her lies & disregard for how she was hurting others. She was unwilling to except me being honest I was unwilling to go on the way we had been.
I can see how I would want to send the innocent me away before my wild side came out.
I feel there is more to this dream, but it is a good place to start.
Thanks!

9. i lost a friendship last year, too

it was a woman, who was interested in the man i'd been developing a close friendship with for a couple of years. it looked like it may have gotten romantic at some point, and she was jealous. she was undermining me through a friend of hers behind my back (does this sound like high school?! i was 50 at the time!!!). she lied to me more than once, then did not support me through the biggest emotional event of my life. i finally saw that she truly was not my friend - she had her own agenda. so i can empathize and sympathize on making big changes where friends are concerned. your dream made me think of myself!

i've been doing a lot of dreamwork for many years. our dreams are never what they seem. they don't relate to our waking lives in a literal sense. but numbers, colors, shapes, movement and genders are all important things to look at in dreams.

actually ... now that i think about it ... the house is your 'self.' interesting that these things took place in a house. my dreams lately are of new construction as i rebuild myself after the events of last year.

keep looking at your dreams and let us know what happens. they are like chapters in a book. one dream is not isolated from the others.

10. It is really tough ending such a long term friendship.

I was fifteen when we became friends, that was over 25 years ago.
I tend to worry a lot about my dreams because they are sometimes prophetic.
In late August, early September 2000 I had horrible, violent dreams for a couple of weeks. They were so bad it came to the point I was afraid to go to sleep. Then 9-11.
In mid December last year it happened again & then the tsunamis.
I was very grateful when I did not have a bad dream last night.
