Hi all - this is just a weird one that has been playing on my mind, & wondered if anyone might have an idea what it could indicate. i experience quite a few nightmare type dreams- they are not as severe as nightmares, but their content can be pretty bizzare of marcabre, & they are very vivid, as dreams often are I suppose!
Here goes with an example, I recently dreamed I was on a train, which had pulled into Edinburgh station. It was attempting to pull out again, but kept hitting obstacles that prevented it from moving. As I looked out of the window, I could see the platform, where there was a baby doll lying on it's back. It kept changing from being a doll to being a real baby, and it had insects/flies crawling all over it. The guard on the train told me to ignore it, but I got off the train anyway to look closer. As I did so, I noticed at the front of the train there was a dog lying on the track, that looked like it was sleeping. I went down to resuce it, but as i went to comfort it & picked up it's leg to pet it, it really shocked me to see that all the dog's paws had been cut off. i woke up then!
Sorry this is so long winded but would be grateful for any insights anyone might have (& hope you all don't think I'm too weird!).

Hi Claudette,
I feel dreams are our minds trying to make sense of things in our every day lives. The train may symbolise your need or desire to move forward with something but feel things always seem to get in your way and stop you.
The doll may represent the child in you seeking reassurance, love or just feeling safe or perhaps your own wish for your own children/child. I'm sure not what the insects represent, maybe festering of feelings or something like that?
The dog lying on the track may be your need to help someone or you are seeking help and the cutting off of the paws may be showing you that these represent a mode of travel (i.e. without feet you can't necessary move). I don't think it was a dog in the real sense of the word, more it's representation.
Whichever of the above, I feel your dream represents "movement" and maybe you are seeking to solve, resolve, or move on from something deep within you? See it as exciting, your chance to make a change.
love and smilies to you.
