Recurring Dreams

I keep having a recurring dream of a little girl who is swinging on a swinger in a park. She's always wearing a yellow dress with ruffles, ruffled socks, cute little shoes, 2 long curly ponytails with bows. She is also very pretty and seems as if she is 4-6 years of age, as I walk away from her she begs "mommy please don't go, come back mommy" she says this several times. I only have one child who's a young man now and I am still at the child bearing age. I have been having this dream for many years. I never had any miscarriages or abortions, what could this be?

Hi Sheila, analyzing dreams is something very individual and a person who has had the dream must do for themselves. You might want to deepen your connection with your intuition to help you trust more what your feelings tell you.

Alana, I want the fullest from the life. I and my husband were married 11 years ago, and we have a son and a daughter. I am a very positive person and so is my husband. I always am scared of something which may separate us or rather to be more precise scared of the mishap. My husband supported two orphan brothers who had nothing and helped them to do business. Those two brothers cheated in accounts and ditched my husband causing him to leave our town and shift to a different place. We were apart for 1.25 years and finally settled in a city together where we both are working. For the last five years I have had disturbing dreams about my life and I used to warn him also, but he never cared. Now when we are settled in a new place for two years, he is still trying very hard to settle. We had no support from his family and had no money to start a business but by the grace of God, since we were clean and pure of heart, he managed to start the business. He is struggling. He is a very simple man and a humble one too. People take advantage of him. But this way the life does not work. I am ambitious. I keep on thinking of having lots of money and leading a happy life with my family. We have struggled for years. I wonder how long all this will last. Mostly I feel scared of the unexpected. Please help guide me.

Dear Alana, very briefly, I now live in Thailand although I am British. My first husband had cancer and I met him after his secondary appeared in his leg 9 years after his primary site. He was a magnificent soul. He died at 36, I was 35. I then attracted another husband who amongst other things taught me a lot about the things I needed to heal and I took on challenges to forgive that were very tough. But he too was sick with HIV. My current boyfriend is also Thai and some months into our relationship I discovered he is epileptic. All of these men are great to be in a relationship with and as I am aware also mirror the things I need to heal in myself. It took me a long time to get to this understanding and accept it. I have had to deal with my "Mother Earth" complex helping others before I help myself as an example of one of my unhealthy life scripts. I could go on. But what I want to know is why do you think I am attracting men who seem to have a serious physical illness or disability? I actually made a promise to myself that I do not want to take care of men who have illnesses, but when I look around me most of the people I know are managing illness in some way or another either in themselves their partners or their children. It seems a normal part of the human condition, but I feel there is something wrong with what I am attracting. I don't know what is happening for me and how to read the significance of this. Can you help me?

Alana, I hold the belief that giving alms to beggars will never help them cure the error in thinking that cause them to become a beggar in the first place. I belief not giving them alms will actually force them to correct this error, because I don't think any human being should depend on alms for their livelihood. But I sometimes have this feeling of being unkind anytime I acted based on my belief. Sometimes I try to decide if a particular request for alms is a one-off beggar who needs help urgently or a person who has turned begging to a source of daily livelihood, but this is very difficult amid wide spread poverty in the city I reside in. I wish you could help me clarify if actually the foundation of my belief is accurate and if yes, how can I deal with the feeling of being unkind that I occasionally get when I refuse to give alms to beggars.

Dear Alana, I would like some insights or guide about a fear I have. I live in a very violent city where there is robbery, kidnapping, assault, etc. I was born into a country that lives an inner war, so my family and I have to move.I am afraid something bad could happened to my family. Would you please tell me how can I let go or work on these feelings?

Dear Alana, we are considering moving to a different state but little things keep coming up and I keep questioning if this is right for us? We are of retirement age so no job is needed. We appreciate what you can tell us.
