Subject: Baby in a bottle

Jackie

17:20 10/12/1999 

I was nursing a baby and the baby was me.

She was tired so I put her on my shoulder and she started to drop off.

Then I got the idea of putting her into a 2 litre milk bottle, a nice cosy place I thought! The milk came up to her chest. She obviously found it comfortable and dropped off to sleep.

But then I kept having problems. I realised I had to take the lid off or she would suffocate. The milk was slopping into her mouth and making her cough, and I thought she might get chilled too.

I was walking round a tourist area and wanted to sit down for a coffee but I was too preoccupied with the baby.

Then I wondered how I was going to get her out of the bottle again. I would have to cut the top off.

But she looked fairly comfortable and was soon asleep so I left her there.

Hi Jackie.

That's a really vivid dream. Since the baby was clearly you, one question is answered straight off.

A baby drinks milk only -- a complete form of nourishment for the first (all you people with babies out there) how many months? You are swaddling her in it. It is keeping her in a 'nice cozy' place which is also possibly suffocating, chilling -- almost like you're making up excuses why not to be comfortable. But it works in the other direction too. What appears to be keeping you in a comfortable and complete place comes with immediate dangers (suffocation, drowning).

Are you questioning the place you are at with your life? Whether or not it is safe? Does a 2 litre milk bottle mean anything to you?

Let us know how it goes as you work through this dream.

Angela.

Yes I am at a very questioning stage of my life. I would like to have a special companion again and have been trying to move for nearly two years (no buyers) so I guess you could say I'm trying to break out of my comfort zone. This relates a bit to how you see my dream. I was also thinking that I need to nurture my "inner child" a lot more but I see dangers inherent in that too.

Hi Jackie.

That would make sense I think. There is definitely a conflict of emotions going on. You think the baby is comfortable, but it is obvious with the coughing and slopping milk, that she is not.

Maybe you are close to working on your 'inner child' issues, but you are questioning whether or not to move from your 'comfort zone'. It is very difficult, emotional and draining to move from the 'safe place' we build for ourselves. Kind of like moving houses I guess.

It's quite interesting to note that often our inner life matches our outer life. You have a want to move (from your house) and have change (a new companion), but something either tangible or otherwise is holding you back.

Perhaps it is that you need to make the decision firmly? Just a thought.

All the best.
