The Holiday
I am holidaying on my own. I am visiting a young lady and her daughter, who is a very cute toddler. They live in a large one room unit. I am playing with the young girl. It is time to go to bed. I would like to go to bed…
My Mother and a Toddler
Dream
My late mother is walking around a suburban street. She is elderly but she is walking unaided. With her is a young Indian girl about 2 or 3. She is constantly crying, she is obviously very upset about something. I am following them. We walk through a park and there is a river or stream nearby. I join them and hold the girl's other hand and we walk the street together. She is still crying.
Dream notes and associations
My mother did do child minding when I was a teenager. She did look after a little Indian boy and he had a younger sister and mum may have looked after her as well.
My feelings throughout the dream and on awakening
Little girl was upset.

Hi Lindsay, interesting to note the contrast here between your elderly mother and the little Indian girl – and your attempt to perhaps console the little girl. I’m wondering whether this situation could be related to an inner child issue? There’s a theme here of not being appeased.
You could be right there. Lara and I did a lot of inner child work. I guess it is a work in progress.
