I've had a dream with some of the same details twice within the same 6 mos. The first 1 don't remember all the details of but it ended with a plane crashing close to me. I remember thinking it would hit me dead on but landed somewhere else. It wasn't close enough to see any wreckage but close enough for me to have though I would have died when it was still coming down.

In the recent dream I was at a house with a bunch of people. Most of them I don't know but in my dream I knew them. Also at the house were a bunch of children. Some of them I knew others I didn't. (in real life I just left my job at a daycare center to start at a new daycare this week) the kids I knew were toddlers that I had taught in my old class. This was not a daycare setting in my dream though. In the dream I was aware that I left my old center just as in real life. anyway these "friends" of mine and I were in the house and the children were out playing. A man walked in who looked very shady. He came in to buy some thing. The house was suddenly a place of business. When he was leaving he asked someone to get the door and everyone refused. So I opened the door for him but with a razor blade in hand because I was afraid of him. Also during one part of the dream I remember changing my clothes and someone called my name. It was the aunt and uncle of my husband whom I live with in real life. And I went to see what they wanted but I was naked. It was like I thought nothing of being naked until afterwards then i felt embarrassed. Shortly after that the adults and I walked outside n on the way out I saw the children coming out of a car. I was shocked that they were not in car seats. Iwas in the car with them at some point andthe drivers seat appeared to be broken which made me fear that he would crash. I talkd to them for a little bit then went to the backyard. I sat at a table and this is where I saw a plane spiraling out of control and eventually ending just like the first dream I described. I always wake up right after the plane crashed.

I think that these dreams are about you unconsciously noticing that something is wrong in your life and they are a warning that something bad is going to happen if the problem isn't fixed.

It's interesting that you are never the one who gets hurt.

Do you feel like you always have to protect other people and be the one who is responsible for them? That makes sense as you work with children, but do you feel like there are adults in your life that you take too much responsibility for, too?

Changing your clothes could have to do with the roles that you play in life.

Being naked and not caring about it at first could have to do with you just wanting to go back to your childhood when you had no responsibilities and other people looked after you.

Thankor your thoughts. I am by nature a very nurturing person. (which is why i chose the fIeld in im) feel empathy very deeply and maybe that's why I worry about other people a lot.

I too think this dream symbolizing the delicate situations you can find yourself in in your particular career choice. You are responsible for the safety and well being of these kids. The stranger at the door is your need to protect the children from predators. And the plane crashing is about your fear of not always being able to keep them safe in a situation beyond your control, as the plane crashing from the sky is beyond your control.

marcia in another post you told me that being comfortable with the nakedness could have been that i want to return to innocence. I was thinking that maybe my husband told me to cover up because he often times tried to get me to act more like an adult in situations where i still feel very immature. just found it interesting thought id share.
