“Dream Momma, I dream I was climbing a mountain. I was pushing my son up it and just when I reached the top a car blocked me the headlights blinded me and a guy steps out reaches his arm out to help me and falls off the mountain. Now I'm saying I'm stuck, I can't get around the car and another man appears from no where pulls my son up and I climb the rest of the way myself.” (sic)
It’s tough being a single parent, especially if you have a son who needs a role model. That’s what this dream is about. It’s about the struggle, the climb up the proverbial mountain, that all single moms face. You’re blinded in the dream because you were blinded by the man who fathered your son. The man who falls off the mountain (fails) in his attempt to be a decent father.
You feel stuck in life. Stuck raising a son on your own. Now this dream can go a number of ways at this point.
