Coachllama,You are very funny about the 15 y/o boy being pregnant confusion. But your mother's dream sure isn't. I will wager that pregnancy contributes. If there is a forum board on pregnancy, I would suggest that you go there and ask about nightmares as a side effect. The ghost could be the unborn child, which appeared as your mother and possibly the doctor were laboring in the library. The ghost's being friendly to your Mom would support this. Naturally, it hugged her and went home with her. It's behavior of killing others in the street could simply reflect her natural fears as to how this baby will turn out, who will he be. We work through our fears in dreams. Polar bears swimming in water [which is said to represent the subconscious mind], could reflect previously repressed fears emerging from the subconscious as the pregnancy progresses. The rest I see as various fears and worst-possible-scenarios, which I can certainly see myself having if I were pregnant, being presented to be worked through. To me, very much uneducated in dream interpretation, dreams tend to reflect fears, which we cannot work through on a conscious level, or wishes. Naturally your mother is anxious and has fears about the pregnancy, the birth, and who the child will be. She is bound to have fears to work through, and dreams are usually the place for this. She may not recognize or acknowledge these fears on a conscious level, which is why they must be worked through in dreams, when the subconscious is more in control. The horrid feelings attached to this dream will pass. I promise. Wishing you and your Dear Mother the Very Best. May the pregnancy be smooth, the birth easy, the child beautiful inside and out. billieJ
