Doing this sand tray was so interesting. I completed 4 separate dreams in my sand tray of dreams that I've on different occasions. The first dream was about me telling my aunt I was expecting. My husband and I were very fearful and anxious about this because my aunt had very strong opinions about us waiting to have kids. We have only been married 8 months. The two zebras represent my husband and I and the Hippo represents My aunt. She was disappointed when she heard the news. Before telling her I was extremely nervous and anxious but afterwards I felt so relieved and even though I was hoping for a different response in her I was still happy that it was over with! The second dream is of a man and women which represents my husband and I and for some reason I dreamt that someone broke into our house. The pyramids represent our house and the ugly sea monster is the burglar. That was very scary dream! The middle objects symbolize a dream where I felt stuck, not sure from what or whom but I'm laying and something is holding me down. Weird. The last dream had a snake in it. I hate snakes!
I am terrified of them! I am holding the baby and some type of object is between me and the snake. I felt good that something was protecting me from the snake but because I was so fearful of them I still worried. I wasn't able to completely be calm. I learned that there is protection in my dreams, fears and love.
