SittingEagle67 :

Hello --are you available to chat?

Customer : Yes, Hello
SittingEagle67 :

Hi! It's important to remember that the elements of the dream are just symbols --and your mind trying to work out things going on in your life.

Customer : Ok
SittingEagle67 :

One thing that stands out to me is the element of being misunderstood.

SittingEagle67 :

The people in the dream --like your daughter, aren't necessarily literal, either.

Customer : Ok
SittingEagle67 :

Your daughter can represent something "important" or "precious" to you .

SittingEagle67 :

Are you facing any difficult situations right now? Where maybe you feel alone or misunderstood?

Customer : Yes
SittingEagle67 :

OK, the dream could be about that situation --and "dramatized" with the dream --

SittingEagle67 :

The idea of your daughter being knocked over to her death is intense, so it can be speaking to how difficult/disturbing the life situation feels right now.

SittingEagle67 :

Or, just how misunderstood you feel --so much so that no one could see that it was an accident and that you would not do that on purpose.

SittingEagle67 :

Does that make sense?

Customer : It is intense
SittingEagle67 :

Sometimes it's hard to feel the depth of those feelings in our day to day life, but our minds don't let us get away with it at night!

Customer : Yes it makes a lot of sense. How can I cope?
SittingEagle67 :

Do you have someone to talk to about your situation?

Customer : Just my daughters
SittingEagle67 :

Do you think that's enough, or do you think that maybe it would be worth talking to a therapist, maybe?

Customer : It helps that my daughters understand and are supportive, but I hate burdening them.
SittingEagle67 :

Some people have a picture of therapy being a long term thing, or something only for people with serious problems. Sometimes it's very helpful just to talk through a situation that is overwhelming and difficult to cope with.

SittingEagle67 :

And --with someone who doesn't have the same type of emotional investment as your daughters do. It can be difficult to help a loved one think through the entire situation, because we are often focused on their negative feelings --and we just want them to feel better!

Customer : Talking it through with my daughters, helped some, but, since the situation isn't going away, my feelings stay insecure
Customer : Ok
SittingEagle67 :

It can be helpful to ask "what part of this is in my control," and what part is "out of my control," so that you are not trying to take control/do something about the parts where it just isn't possible.

SittingEagle67 :

I hope that your situation comes to a resolution sooner rather than later ---

Customer : good point! I have already tried to "fix" it, but you are so right . I cannot fix something that I can't control. THANK YOU so much!
SittingEagle67 :

You are welcome!

Customer : Any more advice?
SittingEagle67 :

I guess the other thing would be --if you're having any trouble doing this --allow yourself to have/experience your feelings about the whole thing, whatever part causes pain. Anger/frustation can be easier to feel, but just pain, loss, or grief tends to be more difficult.

SittingEagle67 :

Avoiding feelings doesn't make them go away or resolve them.

Customer : true.
SittingEagle67 :

I hope it has a good resolution for you.

Customer : Thank you ; you have been helpful
SittingEagle67 :

You are welcome. Take good care.
