Dreams that a relative is trying to take away my child, what does this mean?

[Cristina]

 I have recurring nightmares/dreams
that a close relative is taking my daughter away from me and, my husband just stands there and does nothing to protect or  help me get her back, why am I having these awful and sad dreams? Please help me understand!

Cristina - I wish I knew more about your situation, as your dream could mean that the close woman is a jealous person of your child, and is undermining you with her words or ways. Does your husband in fact express any support for the woman?

But dreams are very much more than that. Nearly always when people dream about someone they know they automatically believe the dream is about that person. But when we think of our friend or partner our thoughts are not them – just our thoughts and feelings about them.

In the world of dreams our most intimate fears and longings are given an exterior life of their own in the form of the people, objects and places of our dream. Therefore our sexual drive may be shown as a person and how we relate to them. So ask yourself how you would describe the character of the woman, and ask yourself what is trying to part you from you vulnerable feelings and childhood self?
