Tony,
Once again, sincere thanks for your detailed and kind reply.  It is wonderful to have your kind communication.
Regards.

This dream came as a response to a new relationship that I am in but afraid of due to past experiences.  The first part involves me rehearsing for a concert.  (this part of the dream I have had many times as I am a musician that has struggled with performance anxiety for years).  There is a break before the performance.  There are numerous other violin players for other parts of the world in this ensemble also - mainly China.  I am Irish and have never travelled to China.  Anyway, as in other dreams it is time to tune up before the performance and as I do I fail to be able to tune my violin and am pretending I can due to the fact it is expected that I am great.  
Then the dream changes quickly, I am coming down stairs with a baby in my arms, into an open kitchen.  I trip on a step and baby and I go flying through the air straight for a window at second floor height.  I prevent us hitting the glass by extending my arms to the frame of the window, but nevertheless the window shatters.  Next I am sitting down with the soles of my feet covered in shattered glass.  The baby has no injury and I have no injury or pain.  I am sitting looking at the base of my left foot when my mother comes and sits down to my right.  She says "I want to say something to you, I was speaking with the Professor, and he thinks the worst is behind you that you will be ok from now on".  I shake my head as I do not want to hear what she is saying as I have repeatedly failed in performance, with strings breaking, loosing my notes, etc., total melt down in public paces and performances.  

Can you please help analyse this for me.

Tony,
Thank you so much for your help once again and Happy New Year from Ireland.

In the dream I woke feeling there is someone in the room.  Frightened, staying completely still until I knew what to do.  The only way I can describe it is, the presence seemed to move behind me in the room.  It is like some part of me recognised who it was and the terror lifted.  It seemed to be getting into the twin bed beside me when I recognised it. The fright lifted. Can you please advise what this means.

My dream begins by getting on a bus that is waiting for all the passengers to get on.  I get on it specifically to speak to my sister who is on the bus.  She is sitting on the right side of the back of the bus with her back to the right hand side window.  As I am speaking to her for a few minutes and wishing her well (I cannot remember the content of the discussion) the bus closes the door and starts driving off.  I am calling out to the bus driver to stop but he does not hear me as the bus is so full and I am lost behind so many people in front of me.  I keep calling out to the bus driver to stop.  I start banging on the window with I think my car keys and I think I crack the window a little but nobody notices.  Eventually the driver hears me and stops about a mile ahead.  It is the dead of night when he opens the door and lets me off into the pouring rain.  I am dressed very dark and concerned as I turn around to try and make my way back on the puddle filled road but afraid that traffic might not see me as I start back on the road.  Then suddenly the same bus pulls up and opens the door.  The driver was going in the wrong direction.  He said he was going to Canada and should have been going the other way.  (I am from Ireland).  Anyway, excited that I was getting the lift back I hopped on and I got off again about a mile ahead back where I started.  It ends with me stepping off the bus.  I have never had a dream like this and cannot figure it out, except to say I am a lone parent who has recently decided to try and sell my home and maybe move to a new location from my home town with my children but that carries a lot of unsurity with it.  In my life at the moment I am feeling quite lost.  Can you help

This is my second snake dream.  The first I have posted on the main dream page in error.  New to this site.  In this dream I am in the house I was reared in, i.e. my parents house.  My ex-husband is in the kitchen with me to my left.  As I look out the front door I see all the clay and grass being moved due to the fact that a huge snake is moving under the ground and as it does it is so big the clay and grass is moved.  I usher to my ex-husband to watch out the back in case he comes in the back door.  He leaves to do that.  I am then standing in the kitchen facing the range (stove).  I first hear the sound coming from the stove and then realise that the snake is coming in through the stove in a copper pipe to the right side of the stove under the oven.  My husband seems to be back in the kitchen  and I utter him to be still as I hear the snake.  Once I know he is coming to the front of the copper pipe, I go over and pull the copper pipe with all my strength - it comes out a bit from the range and with my bare hands bend to copper pipe that has the snake partially in it and push it into the front of the red hot fire.  That is it.  The only feeling in the dream is panic in case the snake gets into the house.  Thanks.
