Teletext dreams - Tony Crisp
If you are a teenage girl, your dreams help you flower into the unique woman you potentially already are. No matter what you look like, no matter what your skin colour, you have an innate beauty. It is that the secret processes of life are transforming you into a woman. Being female is something you share with women of every race throughout history - yet YOU are unique.
There are three major themes you may notice in your dreams. One of the most important is the emergence of your sexual abilities as a woman. In all warm blooded animals sex is not just the urge to join two bodies genitally. It also involves desires to attract and bond to a mate; the urge to have a child, and the strength to care and protect your children. Your dreams are a safe place where you practice or unfold these emerging facets of yourself. Dreams allow you to work out any difficulties in letting these qualities flower. So you will probably dream of a man you fancy, and enjoy the pleasure of touching and loving. You will also encounter the fears or pains standing in the way of such a meeting.
Being pregnant
In some dreams you may also experience being pregnant, and even having a baby. These are very positive signs that you are meeting your physical and emotional changes well.
I’m 14 and had a dream of having a baby boy. I don’t know who my husband was. I am sitting in a house with no roof and all my family come to see my baby and said it was special. It was night time. When I looked into the sky there were 3 moons. Two of them were shaped like a lady with a baby in her arms. Sam - Teletext.
Sam’s dream shows a great sense of beauty and ease about her ability to have a baby.
You are moving toward becoming physically, emotionally and financially independent of whoever parent’s you. This will show in dreams such as feeling trapped by Mum or Dad, perhaps fighting them, or even seeing them die. Such death is a way of saying you can survive alone. Sometimes these dreams of independence centre around what clothes you wear. You might be wearing other peoples clothes, or arguing with your mother about what you can dress in. Other people’s clothes represent how you might be modelling yourself on someone else, or feeling pressured to do so.
I have this recurring nightmare. I see my mother standing by my bedroom door, blocking it as if I am being trapped and stopped from getting out. I often call to her "Let me out Mum" but she just stands there staring with no expression on her face at all. I end up getting out of bed and switching my bedroom light on and then she disappears. Sometimes I will see her standing by my wardrobe. It seems as if she is always standing by a door and trying to trap me. Natalie
In the above dream Natalie is struggling with her own feelings of being trapped by what she feels about her mother, probably her own dependency that she is struggling to grow out of.
Oneof the things you will meet in your dreams if you allow them to develop, is a wonderful sense of having a treasure. This is often a difficult thing to deal with, because there is often a deep home that somebody else, a boy or man usually, will recognise this special quality you have. The treasure is of course the generations of heritage you carry in you from your forebears. You have in you the seeds of the future,a nd those seeds are treasures. It hurts if this is not recognised and cared for.
Your dreams link you with the deepest mysteries and gifts of life. Unfolding your womanhood means receiving many new powers and abilities. The power of full physical sex and pleasure - the power of emotional strength and gentleness - the power of creativity - the feeling of being a part of life and the world. Be daring enough to meet any difficulties and fears necessary to claim these powers. Use them - don’t be used by them. They are yours to claim. Meanwhile, may the Force - of dreams and womanhood - be with you.
