i have decided to start a real hand written dream journal again...it helps figure this shit out! i made my first entry this morning. helped me a lot, and i feel like i have an old friend back who gives me great advice if i can only listen and process.
I had one of those for a while, but it quickly became overfull and I've not started another one. There was an issue with what turned up in it. I'd discover entries for the day before in my handwriting with detailed dreams that I didn't recall and that I didn't recall writing down in the journal. And there would be dreams I remembered, but knew I had not shared with anyone, written in handwriting that obviously wasn't mine, sometimes with entire passages in languages I don't know, referring to me in third person. Often these dream journal entries had notes, invocations, spells and poetry that was, well, really out there, even for me.

Its more a matter of that kind of physical object falling into someone's hands. Party guests at my house have stolen things before. Something like that falling into the wrong hands would be like losing my soul.

I'd say this is very obviously linked to perhaps your views and past experiences with women as mates/wives and mothers.
I can only point out that I think Freud would have a field day with this dream, er, perhaps it would be a poster child (no pun intended) for one of his lectures...

I concede that you could have a point, and that both my dislike of children and horrific childhood cast a heavy shadow over my life, however, in making that point you would have to ignore the roles that women, as mates, friends, lovers, mothers, authority figures and goddesses, have played in other dreams I've had. In addition, being that I'm a lucid dreamer and can manipulate the reality of my dreams in a god-like fashion, yet I was strictly an observer of the monster mother in this scene, and taking direction from the director / camerawoman, I'm going to have to disagree.

Of course, after all, it's YOUR dream ;) you have more insight than any outsider....
But, to play devil's advocate, (as if I were analyzing a story and character and not your dream....) perhaps the role they've played in your other dreams are more your desires and what you wish and inner thoughts, as you controlled your dreams, while in this one, you were simply allowed to observe but not participte, thus perhaps directly linked to occurances that were out of your control?
