HazelGirl, the dream had nothing to do with what you would do or want to do-I agree with everyone on that. I liked everyone's suggestions. My first thoughts were that the boy represents an aspect of you, as well. Churches can by symbolic of purity, or values.

Reflecting on what you are both saying, I am 22 and struggling with being an "adult" around my mother, who is emotionally unavailable. Maybe this is me trying to "grow up" that inner part of me that still turns into a child around her? And maybe the fear and the cops coming after me is my mind's way of saying it is scary and difficult and that I feel like I am "breaking the rules" by setting boundaries and enforcing them?

There is survivor guilt too....that sounds like what you are talking about here. It's very common!
