Weird dream please help

I had this horrible, extremely realistic dream where I caught a train with a guy - I don't remember who, specifically it was, and we went to Chicago to an old library to look for a ghost. We took a light, gridded and categorized the books in a huge library with bookshelves rising about 3 stories high. The ghost then came, spoke to us and hugged me as I left. I returned home only to realize that the ghost had followed us and, though kind to me, was killing people throughout the city. I was then on the city street next to an ice and water filled culvert with polar bears swimming in it. A man was in the ice-cold rushing water (I don't know if he fell or was pushing in) and drowned. The polar bears were swimming all around him and were going to eat him. The only other two specific things I remember were 1 - buying polar bear meat to cook and eat at the grocery store. I was so grossed out by the thought I returned the meat; and 2 - witnessing how high polar bears can jump as opposed to brown bears. Bear trainers were holding steaks on poles high in the air and the bears were jumping to get the meat with the polar bears jumping at least three times as high as the brown bear.

The dream was terrible and woke me up. I haven't been able to go back to sleep because I'm so scared of having the dream again. I'm also pregnant. Any insight or help preventing future dreams like this would be tremendously appreciated.

Thanks.

Note by the owner of the account: This is my mom's post, I was up at 6 in the morning and she was depressed so I tried to help her and introduced her to PC. Also I don't want anyone to be confused as to how a 15 year old boy got pregnant. Please either help my mom interpret this dream, or just so much as a hang in there would be so appreciated. I will try and take time to thank each person who comments individually. Please help my mom.

Thank you so much

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
