11. If you woke feeling the dream was a message about work, you may want to chew on that for a bit.

Dreamwork is difficult stuff in so many ways. I know that a lot of people derive information from leaning about the images in dreams, and I respect that. It has, however, not always been the language my own dreams use. Very often, for me anyhow, dream language is like my own--full of slang and personalization. Just like the image of your mom "in the driver's seat", I tend to get my own messages in that sort of language and images.

Work deadlines are so very overwhelming, and it seems to me that there were more times than I can count that I viewed my own work as being "soul sucking" and vampire like. Is that what was going on for you in the dream? Who would the boyfriend represent in your workplace? Is there somebody that is gonna send your project "over the edge?" Maybe send YOU over the edge? Is it possible that your dream was you chewing over ALL that you face right now--your Mom's issues, your work issues, the stress of being a parent yourself? (I keep coming back to the BC pills the girl had. I have NO idea why...)

I wish I could do more to help you with this. It clearly is something you really want to get a handle on. You might try telling yourself before you go to bed that you really WANT to understand all that message, but you need more information.

Hang in. I'm sorry your are struggling!
