Dreaming of a hole in the heart

it is an intergenerational question. We have three -- no, four -- females: one elderly, one of child-bearing age, and, although you don't say so, I believe the infant is female, and of course you. Dream Momma suggests you've symbolically inherited a family wound carried only by the females. A space in the heart that needs filling, filling up of emotion, deep, heart-felt emotion. DM says that because everyone in the dream is emotionless, stoic, cold. In denial.


DM also believes there is a connection between the Facebook dream and this dream. It feels like loss, something valuable is lost and you need help finding it. Often when a behavior or belief trickles down from earlier generations it feels "normal" to later generations. It's only when our dreams invite us in to question things do we begin to see that there may be a way to fully actualize, to be more than those who preceded us. After all one's generational needs differ so greatly from another's.


DM suggests you make it a personal quest to answer the big question in the dream, "Can you heal a heart?"  Can you perform psychological repair to your damaged heart?  Of course you can. Get going. Your "operating room" should start with a journal. The first pages: the dreams.

Watch for the book, The Dream belongs to the Dreamer, Winter, 2010

"Dream Momma, I'm the person who sent you the dream about the facebook guy. The next night after that dream I had this bizarre dream about a good friend from college. She was pregnant and ready to deliver at any moment, but was ignoring the situation and serving dinner a whole table of people at her house. I kept telling her to get to the hospital but she ignored me saying all was OK without any emotion.

As she served dinner, her belly got thinner and thinner until the baby was visible and it just emerged from her stomach- being birthed. It looked right at me (with eyes wide open) and asked me: Can you heal a heart? I asked it why and the baby said Because I have a hole in my heart. It was a precocious little being and started crawling around outside. I was trying to get it while it's mom was still inside. Then it dawned on me that maybe she needed help since she apparently had this big hole in her where the baby emerged from.

I saw her mom there (who died many years ago). I have some unresolved issues with her and mentioned to her that it has been so long since I've seen her. She looked at me without any emotion and said: No, it hasn't. I know you must have heard all kinds of things, but the fact that these two dreams are still so vivid in my mind is troubling to me.  Any clues DM?" (sic)

Can YOU heal a heart?  Your heart. This is the big question in the dream and judging from the symbolic people in the dream,
