had this really awful dream last night and its really upset me!daft i know,considering it was only a dream!
i was in the house i grew up in (i lived with my nanna when i was little) and was coming down stairs.i went into the living room,and my 5 children and dh were all there.teh kids were all dressed for school and i told them it was the first day of teh school hols.
ds1 started screaming at me that he hated me.he was saying really horrible things to me,and i was crying.dh was just sat in my nannas chair reading a paper.
ds1 had a bangle of mine taht has moonstones and garnets and he snapped me telling me he wished i was dead.this upset me (in my dream) and i ran to him,and screamed at him taht i wished i had had an abortion!(totally not what i would say,i love my son and i would never have an abortion)
then a woman started walking down the path,and was carrying a parcel.she had got out of a red car.dh got up and signed for the parcel and the woman (she was tall and slim,hair in buns either side of her head-like princess lea-and wore a long purple stripey cardy) started singing that "here is your parcel,here is your delivery" and she danced off down the path!!
ds1 started crying and said he loved me and was sorry but he had to kill me anyway!
and dh looked at me and said "i cant cope with this"
and then i woke up!!
havent a clue what any of it means and ive just sold my dream books on ebay so cant interpret them myself!!
so if any one has any ideas,id love to know what this all means!!!

Sorry I dont have my book anymore either! Not sure about the anger between u and ds in your dream - have you been fighting or having trouble with his behaviour?

There are a few sites about dreams and their meanings on the web - i'll find you a few links.

From memory - dreaming about an old home where you grew up is something about your desire to build a family of your own (cant see that's relevant in your case) or something about yourself that stands out from that time which is being stiffled now

Are you feeling a little pensive about the school holidays? Are you wondering how you are going to cope with all these children and are you concerned about being a "proper family"(the old family home) like the Waltons. Is their an underlying fear that your husband is just going to let you get on with it even if a big crisis occurs (dh sitting ignoring you whilst you battle). Will he get all the parcels of good stuff like being able to leave the house full of children to escape to work. Will he pay more attention to random women, going out of his way to pay them attention but still ignoring your plight.
I'd tell him your dream, going into detail about how he just sat there through the battle and get his opinion.

Or am I being too literal?

childhood home

In particular, to see your childhood home or a home that you no longer live in, suggests your own desires for building a family. It also reflects aspects of yourself that were prominent or developed during the time you lived in that home. You may experience some feelings or unfinished expression of emotions that are now being triggered by a waking situation.

Cry

To dream that you are crying, signifies a release of negative emotions that is more likely caused by some waking situation rather than the events of the dream itself. Your dream is a way to regain some emotional balance and a way to safely let out your fears and frustrations

red (red car)

Red is an indication of raw energy, force, vigor, intense passion, aggression, power, courage and passion. The color red has deep emotional and spiritual connotations.

Red is also the color of danger, shame, sexual impulses and urges. Perhaps you need to stop and think about your actions

Husband

To see your husband in your dream, signifies your relationship with your husband and the unconscious feelings you have towards him

Son

To see your son in your dream, signifies your ideal, hopes, potential, and the youthful part of yourself. On the other hand, to see your son in your dream might not have any significance and is simply mirroring your waking life.

Despair

To dream that you are in despair, signifies that you will have many hardships and experience much cruelties in the working world.

Rage

To dream that you are in rage, signifies that your bad temper and negative outbursts may lead to loss of friends.

To see others in rage in your dream, signifies an ill turn in your business and social affairs.

To dream that your lover is in rage, denotes an unharmonious relationship stemming from doubts and misunderstandings

Living Room

To dream that you are in the living room, represents the image that you portray to others and the way which you go about your life. It is representative of your basic beliefs about yourself and who you are.

stairs
To dream that you are walking down a flight of stairs, suggests that you are going into your unconscious. It also refers to setbacks that you will experience in your lie

Argument

To dream that you are arguing, suggests that you are trying to resolve some internal conflict or some unsettled issue in your waking life. Consider the symbolism of whom you are arguing with and what you are arguing about. How does he or she reflect some person or soma aspect of yourself in your waking life?

Not sure if these will make sence but it's from the dreammoods website I use all the time as I have had some weridy dreams in the past and alot of the interpretations (sp?) make sense to me.

hi everyone,thank you for all your interpretations!!
right,the building a home bit,we are waiting to move to a bigger house,as was promised by the housing assciation,but theyve done nothing,so we are now waiting to completely move house and area (currently in wales and are going back to lincolnshire where dh is from-im not im from hull)
the crying bit says letting out fears and frustrations-well i guess thats right aswell because i am worried about the move but have kept my worries in because of the kids,im trying to make it a possitive experience for them,but they are sad that they are leaving here and there friends.weve been here 10 years,so i think i am worried about how they will adjust to teh move
the red bit-well i am a very impulsive and passionate person,so maybe thats where that comes in
oooh!!!the unconscious feelings i have towards dh!!well,in my dream i couldnt understand why he was jsut sitting there reading the paper!the bit he said he couldnt cope,is probably my fears of him leaving me (hes done it before,and once when we had returned from germany,we moved to sleaford and he left me)
ds has behavioural problems and life is never easy with him,but i dont know why i said in my dream i wished i had an abortion!
told dh about it and he just thinks im weird!!
had another weird one last night,that dh had married someone else and she invited me and dd3 to stay.we went (yeah like taht would ever happen!!) and it turned out dh ahd 8 kids with her!!i went to teh bathroom,and had to crawl through the doorway because it was so small,once inside the bathroom,my nanna appeared with a pink towel and said i needed it.
i went back to the house (the bathroom was in its own 'house' in the garden) and told dh i had to go,but he stood in the doorway and wouldnt let me go.
think my head is just all over the place really!!
thank you again for all your interpretataions!
