BellaOnline Forums Religion and Spirituality Dreams Happy Baby Girl with Blue eyes...

This is another dream that I've had that I still remember and will most definately remember until the day I die. I had this dream 8-10 years ago. It was short dream by very rememberable. My children and I were at a park. Or at least I felt it was my boys that were running around me and a baby as the baby and I were laying in the grass as they ran and played around us. Everything around me was in a blur. The ONLY thing in focus was the baby that was under me. As I said we were laying in the grass...I had this baby girl that I felt was my daughter laying there as I was propt up by my elbows but I wasn't like laying on top of her or anything that like...like I was using my body to shield her. Anyway, My other children...my boys were getting too close and I said to them to stop running around us so closely because I was afraid they'd fall and land on her. I looked back down to her...and I remember she had light brown hair with chunky blond streaks all through it...she was wearing a cute shirt with a colar and on the colar was a bow. Over the shirt she had on pink cordoroy over-alls. It seemed to me that the weather was a little chilly but nothing major to the point that I was worried about it...it was a bright and BEAUTIFUL day. I I remember looking into her eyes and feeling shock...not only because her hair had the blond streaks, but because she had the most AMAZING bright blue eyes...bright as in happy and glowy...as I looked at her I felt a strong sense of love and a strong bond and it was as if her eyes were telling me she loved me...this baby was under 6 months of age because I felt she wasn't walking yet...also as I looked at her...she would smile up at me...suddenly the dream slowly zoomed in on her eyes...and everything else around her faided to a black and white and blurred out....until the only thing in focus and in color were her amazing bright blue eyes. I have three children....all boys. I had dark brown hair, my husband ha black. We both have dark brown eyes...Due to both our mothers having red hair our oldest so's hair is a medium brown with blond and rust highlights...our other two children have dark brown hair like me. I do not believe I will actually have anymore children...inse after my last c-section I had my tubes tied and my husband had a visectomy. So, what could be the meaning of this dream?

I guess this dream is a stumper... giggles. Oh well, it was a good dream or at least had me waking up to the real world with a good feeling. :)

I think this is an amazing dream. It sounds like there may be some wistfulness to the dream--like a wish for another child, a baby girl. And while that might be one interpretation--a wish fulfillment dream--I think the another interpretation is probably more likely and is, to me, far more positive and exciting--even if it doesn't sound like it.

I think that that dream was a dream of the archetype of the "Divine Child." Here's a link to a website that has great succinct definitions of pretty much all the major Jungian archetypes: Myths-Dreams-Symbols

To quote that site: "The Divine Child is the archetype of the regenerative force that leads us toward wholeness. 'Becoming as a little child' as expressed in the Gospels. It is a symbol of the true self, of the totality of our being, as opposed to the limited and limiting ego."

I think that is what your child in your dream was representing and I think it is the reason it made such an impression on you. Jung called these dreams the "Great Dreams"--dreams that hit a high spiritual note and resonate in our souls. I think that what you were seeing was you--you yourself in your wonderful innocent pure soul state! This is also underscored by the child's eye--blue. Blue is often associated with spiritual matters, heaven, and is a color often associated with Mary.

I had a Divine Child dream once and like yours, mine has stuck with me forever. Sometimes I just think about it to get that happy feeling you wrote about!

Treasure that dream!
