I dreamt that I was lying in bed at my parents house with my ex boyfriend but we were still together and I fell out of bed. When I tried to get up I found that I couldn't and kept falling back down. When I was helped back in bed by my ex, I had some sort of fit. He picked me up and then went to take me to the hospital. He sat back down on the bed and the jolt caused me to have another fit. He then got angry and the animals in the room (our dog and a cat I used to have before I was with him which is now deceased) went crazy. I kept saying I was sorry and he said no he was angry with the animals for acting that way. He then said he was taking me to the hospital and I said to watch out for bumps and potholes on the way because I thought it may make me have another attack. What could this mean?

It sounds like this dream is trying to tell you that there is an issue or issues that you have to deal with before you can move forward in your life (get out of bed without falling down or having a fit).

These could have to do with your ex-boyfriend, or something that your ex-boyfriend reminds you of. Possibly, your ex-boyfriend just represents the past in general. The dog and cat probably also represent your past, that is things you believe you have put behind you but are now finding that you still have to deal with.

The fact that your ex-boyfriend has to help you and that you keep apologising could indicate that you could feel helpless to do anything about the situation. Since the animals represent your past, your boyfriend's anger at the animals could be your anger about things that happened in the past. Your parents' house also represents your past.

Your request to watch out for bumps and potholes could represent a fear that if you try to deal with the situation, you will just make it worse.

It would help if we knew a little bit more about your relationship with your ex-boyfriend, and the concepts that he might represent to you in your dream life.

Thanks Marcia. You've certainly helped me understand a bit better. Just a bit of background info to see if it helps a bit further. My ex and I split about 8 months ago and he and his new girlfriend are about to have a baby. They have only just recently moved out of MY house (I know, I know I'm too nice for my own good) and thankfully I haven't seen them for 3 weeks. But I still have the dog!!
