Sadie - Hello, and thank you for posting such an interesting dream.
Your house attic you were in was you house - but not a house you have lived in externally. It is your house you have unconsciously created inside you in your inner world. See
http://dreamhawk.com/inner-life/inner-world/The attic is at the very top of your house - your body is often seen as your dream house - and that give you because in your dream house/body/self you have a much wider view of the world than your physical senses allow. Partly because our eye only allow us to see 1% of visible light, and our ears only allow us to hear 1% of audible sound, so in our body we are almost blind and deaf. Fortunately our dream/inner being has a much more extensive view. See -
http://dreamhawk.com/dream-dictionary/quantum-physics/Again your ex in the dream has nothing to do with you external ex. Remember that because you were together for a while there is no way you can ‘have nothing to do’ with someone you have been intimately involved with. It doesn’t work like that. Most people are often totally unaware of the massive experience they take in during a relationship and how it interacts with them when we love someone. In other words the memories and experience we gather unconsciously change us and are not lost. It is part of you and is symbolised in dreams as a person or event.
This lea you, in the attic, to experience an eclipse. The end of an eclipse signifies a new beginning. It can suggest an end to a period of darkness within or depression. A start of an eclipse might suggest you are feeling a decline of your mood, or a period of deepening inner experience. It suggest that your relationship with your ex was leading you into the dark, and because he could not understand the huge changes going on within you was got rid of in your dream and presumably in your life.
Then the most wonderful thing happened, with you new abilities to see you saw the baby in your creative womb. Being a woman it is your nature and your potential to have a baby and give birth. You developed in this way because you are a creature of evolution. If you deny that part of you – the urge to procreate - you kill your power of creation. A dream baby can represent a new phase of life; a new idea; new activity - as when we say someone has a new baby, meaning a new project or business. This ‘baby’ might be part of you that did not have a chance to be ‘born’ or express before. Or it may be things learned in a rich life that you could not put into practice because of circumstances. The baby in this aspect is the ‘you’ that could have been if you had been free from problems and past hurts.
So care for this wonderful part of you that is an expression already of you new ability to sense the world.
Tony
