Ugh

The other night? I had a dream that it was raining glass. We (my immediate and extended family) were at my parents house. We were all outside at the pool, on a beautifully sunny day, that changed suddenly and without warning. It was immediately dark and stormy. At first, it was small slivers of glass falling and we were not sure what it was. Suddenly we heard the motor of a plane that sounded like it was in trouble. We looked up at the tree tops and indeed saw a plane that was coming spiraling down. At that point, we realized it was glass falling from the sky and we ran in to the house and found the hallways and floors of the house were also covered in glass. For some reason, Julia was the only one without shoes on. We were all searching frantically for her shoes so that she wouldn't step on the shattered glass and cut her feet. It was me who realized that they were outside in the middle of the front yard. I told everyone that I had,to get them and that I didn't think it was dangerous for me to do so. The need to get her sneakers was very high, almost dire in nature, even though I knew that she cold have been held, or sat down in a chair. I went outside, feeling calmer than I should have been (or, in reality would have been if this was "real life"). The last clear image from the dream is of me, standing on the front stairs, looking down the hill of the front yard at her shoes. The shoes, despite it being dark and stormy, were standing out, practically glowing.

This was one of the most unsettling dreams I have ever had. I have looked up the most of the clear and obvious images from this dream and included them here.



To see broken glass in your dream, signifies a change in your life. Alternatively, it could be symbolic of an aspect of your life that is in pieces. You will find that a situation will come to an abrupt and untimely end. If you are walking on broken glass, then it suggests that you will be experiencing some heartache or pain.

To dream that a plane crashes, suggests that you have set overly high and unrealistic goals for yourself. Your goals may be too high and are impossible to realize. You are in danger of having it come crashing down. Alternatively, your lack of confidence, self-defeating attitude and self-doubt toward the goals you have set for yourself is represented by the crashing airplane; you do not believe in your ability to attain those goals. Loss of power and uncertainty in achieving your goals are also signified.

To hear the tapping of the rain on the roof, denotes spiritual ideas and blessings coming to mind. It may also suggests that you will receive much joy from your home life.

To see or wear sneakers in your dream, suggests that you are approaching through life with ease and little obstacles.

A couple of things strike me. Clearly the reason Julia had to have her sneakers, despite there being other options, is because I am concerned with the upcoming "obstacles" in her life...in particular, kindergarten. The sneakers represent ease and little obstacles, which is exactly what I am hoping for her. My willingness to go out in to a storm of raining glass is indicative how far I will go to make sure I am doing everything I can for her.

I am still trying to figure out the glass part. I don't quite feel like my life is in pieces, although there are some parts that could use, um, a little assembly. I am certainly hoping I am not going to be experiencing any heartache or pain any time soon.

I have made it perfectly clear here on a number of occasions that my self confidence is practically nil. Uncertainty? Self defeating thoughts? Yup, got those. The airplane imagery is as clear as day.
