Star,
Thanks for the response. If the interpretations help you better focus on the conflicts in your life then we are making progress. Reflecting on the past is what is needed in resolving such problems. People tend not want to take the time to do the 'inner' work that is needed in confronting the negatives in life and thus never find a true balance and harmony. Self examination is a process that requires time and effort. For you begin so early of the mid-life stage will be great benefit as you travel those mid life years. Who you are today and who you will be in the future has its foundations in the past.

The 'inner' realization that your daughter is much like yourself can be of great benefit {you probably were aware of the sameness but to have it confirmed in your dreams is a therapeutic event that goes beyond mere conscious thinking}. If you can get her to listen to you about your experiences, the rights and wrongs in how you handled them, that can be a major plus for her. Wisdom comes from experience and raising children often depends on how we use that wisdom. Getting your daughter to understand she possesses many of the same tendencies you have can be a mirror she can reflect on that shows her just how her life will unravel. Like mother like daughter. Likeness is seldom just by chance.

But first there must be a realization how it all evolved in your life. You are on the right path in doing that, your interest in your dreams providing insights to your past. And your emotional self at this stage of your life. Stay that course, do the required inner work and both you and your daughter will benefit greatly. And if you can get her interested in her dreams, just image how better off she will be prepared in her life for what is to come. That is a gift that keeps on giving.
