Hi all,
My wife woke up with a start last night having had a pretty scary dream, it goes as follows:
She was taking out a group of about 100 pupils (She is a secondary school teacher) to some kind of rural walk, it was in a very hilly area. All of a sudden there was a landslide and the pupils were engulfed by it, many with just their heads poking out above the sludge. She was aware of herself as an onlooker and wanting to intervene and save them, but others around her were stopping her from doing so. The most vivid part was that she remembers there being 16 pupils who lost their lives. Why 16?? Is this significant?
She would be grateful for any feedback.
Blessings

Sixteen
Sixteen, typically, symbolizes innocence, naive, vulnerability, and tenderness.It also indicates some spiritual cleansing and destruction of the old and birth of the new.
I have found this in a website, I normally think that apart from the meaning of a couple of elements in a dream you should try and work it out yourself in your actual life circumstances, but it might help, or at least i hope so!!
do you think perhaps she is getting to much work with them in the school or they are not achieving as she is expecting them to be?maybe she needs to be a little bit more ...here i am!?

Hi,
Thanks for that insight. It is actually Oakapple's wife 'talking' now under his user name as I thought it would be easier.
I think that the dream may be to do with me considering to leave my school for a new job. I have been there ever since I qualified ten years ago and will find it an awful wrench! They are very special kids, most of who have very underpriveleged lives. I feel at the moment that our 'head' has pushed us all to the limit (we were a failing school when I joined and now in the top 10 most improved!) but he still wants more. He wants every lesson to be deemed as an outstanding lesson, not just good, I think I have just about had it now and certainly don't have the time to give the kids the individual attention that I would like to.
The problem is that I have got attached to these kids at the school and their families and feel that if I leave I will be letting them down! I really don't know what to do, just hope that if I just look around at other jobs, then I will be given guidance.
Sorry about the lengthy reply, but this is something I feel very mixed up about and am hoping for some sort of 'divine' intervention.
Blessings
Oakapple's wife.

Hi dont worry! nice meeting you!
I found that website a bit interesting, the one where i found the information i gave you.
I think I understand very well what you are talking about now, If i were you I would feel a little bit under pressure and I´d like to be able to keep up, but it would also depend on how much I want to do something or how much I´d like to do something else, i Know in different times in our lives we want different things,so Iguess it is up to you, which way do you feel happier? helping them out and seeing the results or trying to do something new,or trying to get to know other people, or...nobody knows what life can bring you tomorrow!anyway I guess that if you got really atached to them you´d be able to still see them, remember that! theres many things on it!
I dont want to interfere in your decisions but if I were you I´d try to put everything on the scales, what makes you feel good, what doesnt,how much doesthat pressure bother you, what way are those children in your life, where do you expect your money to be in the future, ...everything i normally say "the cold and the warm way" think about it, feel about it, lets see what you decide.
lots of good luck!!!!
loves, Cintia.

Hi,
My wife has decided to go for another job and just let the flow take her. You know, if she gets an interview then 'feel' the prospective place and the vibes. She has decided to let her instincts guide her, and if she doesn't get an interview then it wasn't meant to be. She has also decided that it isn't worth worrying about!! ...Although her subconcious may think otherwise, she had a dream about the kids at school chasing rats around her classroom two nights ago!!
