(Background...As a young child (for six years, over 20 years ago), I lived in a low income neighborhood. It was torn down about 2 or 3 few years ago.) (In my dream) I was two doors down from the house I lived in as a child. I was walking to my cousin's house. There was a man and woman sitting in a parked car, on the grass next to a house. As I was passing them, a man approached us. He gave them papers and gave me an empty binder. He rambled something and left. It looked like the papers should be in the binder, so I gave the binder to the couple in the car and left. I went to my cousin's house and told her what happened. I was afraid of the man and asked my older cousin to keep a look out for the man. I went to take a shower, and when I got out of the shower, the man was standing in the bathroom. He started yelling at me because I didn't keep the binder. He showed me the binder with the papers inside. He said the binder was important. He then tried to kidnap me. My cousin's father (it wasn't her father, I don't know who the man was) stopped him. They fought and the father subdued the man until the police came. My cousin and I looked at the binder and the papers. It was consisted of lists of girls' names. We started looking at a lot of old newspapers (internet hadn't been invented yet). The names consisted of Native American girls that had been kidnapped and killed. All but one girl had been found. All of the others were dead. My cousin and I drove around trying to find the girl. We found her. She was being held in an open field. We rescused her. Then, I woke up. (Also, I am not Native American, and I don't know how old I was in the dream, but I think I was a little girl or maybe as old as 12. ) This has been bothering me since I had the dream. I have no idea what it could possibly mean. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks in advance.
The papers and the binder seem like they represent knowledge of some kind. Your not putting the papers in the binder seems like it could be a message that you knew something important as a child, but weren't able to "put the facts together." The Native American girls who had been kidnapped might have represented possible futures for you that never came to be. The "Native" in "Native American" could stand for the natural you as a young girl, before you grew up and had to make choices about what you wanted to do with your life.
