BABY INTERRUPTS MY WEDDING

Interpretation

This dreamer needs to shine the light of awareness on two personal blind spots in her thinking. First, she has made a commitment without knowing what she was committing to. That’s the dream-marriage. Second, she has accepted an idea as hers without knowing what the idea is or how it even got in her mind. That’s the dream-baby. This dream-marriage shows a need for a conscious, inner commitment. This dreamer appears to have made an outer commitment without being centered in bettering her Self or feeding her soul. First, she needs to know what she has committed to. Where is she spending her time and energy? What is she focusing her thoughts on? That’s where she’s committing. When she realizes what she’s committed herself to, the next question is, “Do I really want to choose this?” Whatever outer thing she commits to, it’s important for her to be centered in some kind of inner commitment, too. For example, when someone commits to leading an organization, raising a child, or teaching a class, that person is often also making a commitment to becoming more responsible, more generous, or improving herself in some way. Those are all inner commitments. The most important commitment we can make is to our Selves, to our deeper Selves—our subconscious mind or soul. That’s the missing groom/husband in this dream. Inner commitment is a commitment to becoming a better, wiser person and living by one’s values and ideals. The highest inner commitment is a commitment to fulfill one’s purpose for living. Babies in dreams are pictures of the dreamer’s new ideas. An idea is more than just something that happens in someone’s head. It’s a powerful creation that starts in the mind and grows until it makes something happen in life—like reaching an imagined goal, becoming a different kind of person, or feeling the joy and energy that come from an inspiring thought. When anyone thinks a clear thought and holds it in their attention, that idea is planted in the inner, subconscious mind and it starts to develop into something. Baby ideas grow and become powerful, just like baby humans. So how did this new, baby idea get into the dreamer’s mind? It seems that she unconsciously accepted this way of thinking from somewhere else, kind of like accepting a baby that’s given to her. It will help her to be aware of how she received this idea. Did she hear it, or even telepathically receive it, from people around her? Did it come from television, radio, a movie, or a book? The next question is, “Do I really want to keep this idea and nurture it? Is it producing something valuable in my life?” If she can see the value of this idea, then it will become much easier to guide this thought into a positive outcome in her life. This dreamer seems to be easily influenced without realizing it. Her dream shows that she is ready to become more centered in her real Self, and more conscious and self-directed in her thoughts and choices. This starts with knowing her own thoughts and desires, and willfully choosing them. This will empower the dreamer to respond to what she’s set into motion with her thoughts and choices. The skill that will empower her to choose her thoughts is concentration. Meditation will help her to be more connected to her inner self (that’s the missing husband in her dream marriage). BK/JD
