I Gave Birth To My Inner Child Last Night In A Dream.... [More:]

Last night I dreamt I fathered a little boy who looked exactly like me, and who could speak full sentences and walk after only being two weeks old.

There was some kind of hitch involved, though, because the woman I'd fathered him with kept changing in the dream. Or it wasn't made clear who she was, except a lot of them seemed to be old girlfriends or good friends of mine.

Anyway, the mom decided she didn't want to tell him I was his father, but needed my financial support, so she wanted to let me have visitation rights.

So during one of these, I came over and said to this little boy, "you do know I'm your father, right?" and then he and I totally bonded and did everything together. He ran around calling me Dad.

Someone in the dream gave me this special necklace with a little symbol on it, that was meant to signify I was a new father to everyone who saw it.

So I put it around my neck, and me and this little kid went zooming off to the grocery store in a go-cart.

I have never dreamt about fathering any children before in my life, ever, and I think this post will never do justice to how profound and amazing this dream felt and how powerful it is to think about upon waking.
I have also had an amazing and powerful "I had a baby" dream. Before I had kids, or wanted kids, I had a dream that I had a baby girl. She was about the size of a 12-month-old and she talked to me in clear sentences. When I woke up I missed my baby. I remember loving her immensely in the dream.

That's exactly how this felt, LoriFLA. I remember being consumed by how much I loved this little guy.

You are the product of your union with all the people you've ever known. We are continually giving birth to ourselves, as moment to moment we are ever a new person. It's great that you (your inner self-concept, how you see yourself) gets along with the you that you've become. So often people get tied to the ways they've seen themselves for too long, and forget that they are no longer that person. I myself have been dealing with issues of being a failed wonderkind, and just learning to accept who I am, right now, in the moment; rather than who I thought I would be.

Sounds like a happy and healthy dream for you! I feel inspired to now bid people to "Dream in good health!"

What I liked most about it was the little necklace amulet thingy someone gave me in the dream. I wish to God I had looked more closely at the symbol on it, because I would then go out and make it to wear.
