I cannot reach my mother. What does this mean?

Question

I generally have pretty insightful dreams, I normally always know what they are about and a few times, I believe my dreams have shown what is to come. My mom thinks that I can remember my dreams so well because I have very bad sleeping problems, and alot of my dreams are even lucid dreams!

Recently I have had a reoccuring dream where I am somewhere normal, school, home, ect. And I cannot leave or find my mom. I try and try to leave the place but something is always stopping me (I can't find my backpack, I forgot something I need, ect.) I can never get to my mother, who is always waiting for me. It is like she is the finish line of the dreams and I cannot reach her. I will hear her voice over the phone and I have even come so close as to touch her, but then I wake up. Why can I not reach my mother? What is going on?

Some things that are going on in my life right now:

My sister is going to college.

I begin school next week, sophmore in highschool

I'm learning to drive

My parents are divorce (i spend time equally with each)

idk if that helps but I thought it would.

Answer 1

It appears you have well answered your own questions by insightfully stating the context of your life right now.

Blessings to you - there are many discomforting changes going on right now in the middle of your life at a very sensitive age.  Your sister likely has been close - this is a big change to accept her leaving now - and perhaps when you could really use her company as you start highschool as a sophomore.

Learning to drive puts pressure on a serious teenager - and you sound very responsible.  That is another activity that demands stability and support - and who better than a good mother to always provide that pillar?  Yet you are torn from her now in some ways - splitting time between parents.  You don't mention your dad, and maybe hes supportive.  But generally it tends to be our mothers who truly put that stout plank in our lives that we always feel secure on, no matter what dad's support is.  She's the one who generally coaches and encourages in so many ways about the ordinary things in everyday life.

So you have these new things pulling at you - and now face the departure of one who likely helped fill the gap at times, your sister.  Subconsciously that can easily put mom a bit further away - just out of reach, just as you describe.  You are having to step off of that plank I mentioned now more than ever.

This is a normal transition and your dream is a normal one of having some anxiety over all these changes and challenges.  Take it a step at the time whether able to be on that plank or having to venture off at times - by your tone and expression you sound responsible and will be fine.  

Give yourself time to adjust.  She'll be in reach - just not as easily and frequently as she was before as you continue to mature in this fast-paced stage of life that you've reached.

All the best to you.

Since there are changes in your life such as your sister leaving, and you going into a new year as a sophomore. It might be that your scared of so many changes happening at once. Your dreams are based on your sub conscience and your sub conscience are things you think of through out the day without noticing and they usually wind up in your dreams. Which the next day you mentioned you recall your dreams mostly and realize its whats on your mind. I think the biggest reason why you can't reach your mom in your dreams is cause of your parents divorce. It might be affecting you in a way you conscientiously you can interpret. Any maybe your scared of them not being together is why you feel you can't reach your mom cause your scared to lose them both. Your driving as well could be soon, you'll be off to leave in the next 2 years and your not sure of where your going. Of course as still young children we want our mom to help us when needed and maybe you getting older your just scared to lose that part of you. I hope this helped and you get better soon. Just try to think positive thought.  

Answer 3

A mother in a dream can either represent your natural mother, or

can represent your source; love; kindness.

It sounds like something is missing that keeps you from moving

forward.

i sent throu this recently but it was about the ocean. no matter what i could not even go on the sand much lesls into the ocean. finally i made it after years of dreaming about it. to me the ocean was about freedom and peace. your dream about reaching your mother is about

safety and peach and protection. there are many,many things going on in your life right now. your sister is going off to college,your going into a new grade,you're learning to drive, your parents are divorced. you're growing up. you are no longer a child but you are not quite an adult yet. you are in an inbetween area in your life. your trying to reach your mom for safety and protection. this is a normal reaction to all that is going on. take just one step at a time in all of this. it's almost like trying to learn to walk again. relax and don't let it all get to you. that;s what is happening to you all you can see is all that is occuring and it feels like it is too much all at once. look at each thing in your life as an individual thing not as a whole. once you can see it all as single items it is not quite as scary. it might help aslo to talk to your mother and tell her about your dream. she could turn out to be your biggest supporter in all this. many blessings be with you in all this.
