I had a dream on January 25, 2021 about my daughter abby. She is 13.
I won’t go into details about the dream because I know what it all means. The part I can’t figure out is what the metal Christmas tree symbolizes. I feel like it should be something obvious! Here’s a summary of the dream:
Abby was little (probably 4 or 5) and had chewed up and swallowed a metal Christmas tree. I first realized it when she threw some of it up, but didn’t realize the extent of it. I took her to a hospital I had to wait out in the hall. I waited for what seemed like forever and finally I saw her coming down the hallway and she had “pooped” the metal out and it was in her underwear. I was so relieved that it was out but also realized that there may be some internal scars that we needed to be aware of on down the road.
Specifically - what could the metal Christmas tree symbolize?
@Lisa Diane I think that the metal tree represents something that should be full of life but is not. This is not necessarily a "bad" or "evil" think but rather something that is simply not as full of life as it should be. It may still represent something spiritual, but it just doesn't carry the life that it should and thus does not provide the nourishment that is needed or looked for in consuming it.
I know the dream is about my daughter but it is definitely for me. She struggles with anxiety and used to have panic attacks. In the dream, I was waiting on my dad (God) to get there to operate and I was looking for a my mom (Holy Spirit) and it felt like both of them were taking their time and I was getting frustrated. I kept calling dad to hurry him up and looking for mom and I felt like they just weren’t doing enough. Abby was in a hospital room and I had to wait in the hall. At the end of the dream, I realized that Abby was not “my“ child and a lot of things had been going on behind the scenes that I wasn’t aware of. And that my dad and mom were on time after all. This part has been such a comfort to me to know that God has been taking care of her.
She is definitely getting so much better and I can see that God has been working. I guess I’m still just wondering what exactly the root (metal christmas tree) was? I remember in the dream just being so surprised that she actually bit into this metal ornament and chewed it up! Even in the dream I couldn’t figure out how she managed to do this without me knowing. I can’t for the life of me think of any rigid teaching or anything of a “religious” nature. What stood out to me about the tree was that it was man made and not meant for consumption. Thats the obvious take away from a metal ornament, but why a Christmas tree? I understand that I’m asking a lot lol so I really don’t expect an exact answer. Just hoping for a little more clarification.
I’m Lisa Brister, by the way. This signed me in with my skeleton Facebook account that I use when Im trying to detox from social media.
Hi, I am a student taking the Level 1 dream class, and I would like to interpret your dream for practice. This dream says that in the past you have encountered ideas/messages that were presented as harsh and rigid (metal Christmas tree) even though they should have been joyous and life-giving and this has had a deep effect. It has taken some time to process the effect of this and because of this there has been a period of waiting, but the dream shows that you have pulled through and the worst is over because what was causing the problem has been removed. The dream also says that a bit of additional time for healing may be needed.
