Sometimes when i am dreaming.....and this is embarassing.....but i have something drastic happen to me.
Like i just got raped, or in some kind of accident, or tried to kill myself, or kidnapped- and i normally always live.
But a woman that i look up to finds me, whether she be a police woman, a teacher, or a friends mom- and she takes me to safety. Normally it is at her house or to the hospital.
there she watches over me, and cares for me and sometimes i even stay with her and live with her.
Also, when i am in the hospital bed people who love me come in just to see how i am doing, normally i am too tramatized or embarassed to aknowlage them coming (which they understand) the only person i truley respond to is that woman.
Sooo,,,, what do you all think?
Weird huh...
Interpret?

I used to have those a lot. Especially about miscarriages. I would have the great dream where I find out I'm pregnant and then all of a sudden I lose it. I would wake up crying and they happened all the time. I would have nightmares like being attacked also.

I went to a T and he called it hypervigilance. Basically being on the defensive all the time no matter what. Mine was directly attributable to a previous abusive relationship. I had those thoughts constantly though. I couldn't take the trash out because I was convinced a guy was in the dumpster waiting to attack me. I don't know if you are having thoughts like that also.

If so, or if you think there is a reason that you may be dealing with PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder) I would go see a T. Dream interpretation is pretty easy to misinterpret and is different for everyone. But it is proven that this is your brain attempting to piece together all of these random thoughts or things in your subconscious throughout the day. So there must be something there creating these images in your dreams.

I think you have already answered you question about the woman seeing as you said you look up to her. The weird thing in mine was that they progressed. I would have these dreams where a guy would attack me. Then the next time I would fight back. And I kept fighting and fighting and eventually, after a couple years of these dreams I finally ended it - I killed him in my dream. I have never had that dream since. I would look at what you may be internally struggling with but aren't allowing yourself to process.
Thanks for this!

From the sound of it... It sounds to me like you could possibly be seeking a mother figure. I may be way off but was your mom around when you were younger? Was there a moment where you felt like you needed her but she wasn't there? Do you feel like maybe she just isn't quite the mom you need to help you feel safe and secure? If that does ring a bell with you then the dream is probably just expressing your desire to have that female figure in your life.

The fact that you come close to death or something terrible and then are rescued by a female role model seems like you may feel a void where your mother comes in to play regarding your safety and you basically feel the need to be rescued by these respectable women.

Pretty much it seems to me that you may be feeling like you need or want the motherly love you see on movies, the safety... The happiness... The love and care and constant support (them visiting you at the hospital shows that)... The safety and all of the things that come along with what those mothers do.

I hope you find your answers
