Diagnostic Dreams: Broken Lights



I was with my husband and son at an outdoor market.

I came across a box of party lights. It cost 48 cents. What a bargain!

I bought it, we took it home and when I opened the box, every single light bulb was broken.

Just then, a deer jumped into the porch an into a pool we apparently had in the porch.

Then it jumped out. As it was running off I screamed at it, “No! Come back! Don’t Go!!”

Oh well. I resumed decorating the porch with the broken lights anyway.


The dreamer comments:

When I woke up, the first thing I focused on was the broken lights. Usually broken glass in a dream reflects broken hopes. Well, I certainly had my hopes broken… a couple weeks before I had miscarried at 9 weeks.

Now what about the number 48? … I lost the baby on January 4th, according to the doctor I conceived on Nov 17th… wow. That’s 48 days. Amazing how I consciously had not bothered to figure out how many days I was pregnant but yet my inner mind knew.

Deer in dreams are often about something or someone you hold dear to you. Obviously the baby was dear to me… it was unexpected, but still very dear.

And It came into my life and left it just as suddenly as the deer jumped into and out of my dream. And this is why I yelled after the deer to “come back, don’t go.”

I didn’t want that baby to go away. After my miscarriage, all I could think about was how much I wanted it back. Sigh.
