I rarely have reoccurring themes in my dreams but for the last week or so there has been a pretty apparent theme. I am curious to see if anyone has any interpretations:
The last couple of dreams I have had have all ended with me standing on the edge of a cliff and having no other choice but to jump. Usually in the dream there is a place I can jump to if I jump just right but I find myself frozen with fear. I am never able to jump and my dream always ends here. Last night there was a slight change in the dream. Again I was running from something, this time it was a wildfire. I am running to a cliff that I know will lead to a large bay in which everyone can escape the wildfire. This time when I come to the cliff I am fully prepared to go over the edge and feel no fear. But before I jump I look over my shoulder and see my mom standing about 50 feet away refusing to come. She is saying that she refuses to run anymore. I start begging for her to come and telling her that I love her and that she has to come. At this point in my dream I am paralyzed with emotion and unable to leave my mom so therefore unable to leave the cliff’s edge.
I have plenty of stress in my life, but what is causing this painful indecision?
