I had a dream the other night that for some reason I keep thinking about. I was wondering if anyone might be able to offer some insight. Bear with me here, because it's very hard to put into words what the dream was like.

I was, what felt like, "stuck" to what seemed to be the "top" of the sky. It was like I was suspended above the earth, looking down. For some reason, I just knew that I was up there because of my mom. She was responsible for me being up there. Then it was like the stickiness that was holding me up started to gradually let go, and I sort of started to drip down the way a very thick liquid would. It was at this point that I realized I didn't really have a body, I was just some sort of mass. As I started descending, I was very scared and I didn't want to go. So I looked up, and extended some of myself upward, where I connected with my friend Richie. He also didn't have a real form, but I just knew it was him. As I made the connection with him, I felt safe and no longer scared, and let the rest of myself go down and touch the earth. He followed, but it was like we were being poured down, and my mass went first and then his. I think that after I made it all the way down, I had my body, but this is then end of the dream, and not very clear. Any thoughts?

I was wondering how old you are? Do you live at home with your mom or do you live somewhere else?

I'm 26 and I don't live with my parents, although I do spend a lot of time at their house.

I thinking that the connection between the sky and your mom might be that you look up to them both. How much do you rely on your mom for guidance? I'm wondering if you get advice from your mom a lot but are kind of thinking that you might do better sometimes on your own, without her guidance - but you may have an underlying fear of coming unstuck, getting into trouble if you do this. And, perhaps, your subconscious is telling you that your friend/s will always be around to offer you help if things do go wrong?
