Have you ever had recurring dreams?

12. I have a recurring dream in times of stress

I'm in a house that is under construction -- walls down, debris and lumber scattered around, saws, hammers, you get the picture. But in the middle of the house is a room that is perfect -- like an old English study; interesting with lots of books, a large upholstered chair with a reading lamp and table beside it and lovely paintings on the walls.

It first started when my husband walked out on me. I was in shock, in grief, and some fear of the future, so took my troubles to a counselor. I told her about this recurring dream. She said she thought it meant that although my life was in chaos at the time, there was a solid core inside of me that will come out just fine.

So now, when under stress, I welcome the dream. It comforts me and gives me strength.

P.S. Haven't had the dream for quite a while.
