In my dream I am alone, walking down a road on some important mission. I have a real sense of urgency about getting to this unknown destination. The weather is very cold and I am not dressed warmly enough, which irritates me, since I am from the south (true), and do not like cold weather. I am aggravated that I have to make this journey on foot in the cold.<\/p>\n<p>Along the way I see a large body of water as if the area I need to walk to next is flooded. I am a bit fearful at this point since I am not a good swimmer. The water is very cold and the wind is blowing over the water making it move just slightly. I don\u2019t know if the water is shallow or deep, but I know that swimming is not an option.<\/p>\n<p>So I begin to think and plan how I am going to get around or over this water. I have an intense feeling of aloneness because no one is around to help me. I am also uncomfortably anxious because of the delay in getting where I need to go. I have to figure this out for myself. However, I never doubt that I will figure it out and at the same time I am fearful that if I don\u2019t find a way, that I might have to swim and I know I won\u2019t make it. Once I figure out a way, however, I know it\u2019s the right decision.<\/p>\n<p>Some times in the dream, I look around until I find a piece of wood not even large enough to support my body, but I sit on it and I float easily across the water much like being on a flying carpet. Once I even dreamed that I walked across the water to get to my destination! In the dream I don\u2019t know where I am going, but I know when I\u2019ve gotten there. Then I wake up.<\/p>\n<p>Why do I always dream about a cold body of water that makes me fearful, that is in the way of my destination?<\/p>\n<p>Some background about me: I am a commissioned salesperson and self-supporting. I raised my two children almost single handedly since a divorce 16 years ago. I was married for nineteen years. My children are grown and have families of their own. I remarried 3 years ago to a wonderful man, but was single almost 12 years. Generally, I am very happy and contented with my life.<\/p>\n<div align=\"right\">\u2014Meredith, Married, USA<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">For the interpretation of the dream, click<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/damwebserver.com\/dreamdoctor\/articles\/an-emotional-winter-2\/\" id=\"837\" option=\"com_content\">here<\/a><br \/><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Back to list of<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/damwebserver.com\/dreamdoctor\/articles\/womens-dreams\/\" id=\"26\" option=\"com_content\">women&#8217;s dreams<\/a><\/p>\n<p> \u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","categories":[3140,3122],"class_list":["post-35842","articles","type-articles","status-publish","hentry","category-divorce","category-womens-dreams-question"],"acf":{"article_id":"833"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/damwebserver.com\/dreamdoctor\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/articles\/35842","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/damwebserver.com\/dreamdoctor\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/articles"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/damwebserver.com\/dreamdoctor\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/articles"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/damwebserver.com\/dreamdoctor\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=35842"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/damwebserver.com\/dreamdoctor\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=35842"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
