So this dream...if you call it that was kind of bizarre. Ever since I was young I've had dreams about being a father. And being married this is one step closer to becoming a reality. I've had these dreams but never could see the mother's face. You would think since married I would now see my wife's face but I don't. I see someone very familiar though.

In the dream I'm in the hospital and I rush out of the doors to the waiting area. Family and friends are there and I tell them, she's here! My daughter I find out has just been born. I take our parents back to see thier new grandchild. We get to the room and I sneak a peak and it's not my wife...it's her older sister.

Note: Her sister and I have lately been discussing parental ideals and what we would do and not do. Discussing biblical theology and our many opinions.

So I don't see my wife anywhere, but sister in law in her hospital gown, she smiles and glows...she hands me my daughter and I can see her face. And I find myself smiling and a little misty. I sit on the hospital bed with her later. It was very powerful.

And I find myself seeing that handoff moment even while awake. I could be eating and flash...and it triggers a smile and I feel a tear emerge in my eye.

So what gives? It feels like a premonition...I have those sometimes.

Any interpretation or ideas would be appreciated

Thanks

The important thing in the dream seems to be that your wife doesn't share in something that you want/have created.

Do you and your wife have different ideas about having children?

Do you and she have different ideas about other things? Do you feel that she doesn't support you in or understand your plans for the future? Do you feel that your plans for the future could be different than hers?

When you say you have been discussing parental ideals with her sister, have you been discussing them with your wife, also? If not, why not?

Well I thought we did have similar goals about children and the future. But lately she's been saying, she doesn't want kids anymore. That they get in the way of what you really want to do. Before we were married, she said she wanted kids and we set goals for our lives...it seems like she may have lied. She also admits she's selfish.
