Dream: What I remember most clearly is a gray room with very little light. In the room was an adorable little girl, approximately 8-10 years old, with blonde ringlets, dressed in fashion from the mid-1900s, a dress of some kind more formal than is common now, and holding an ornate hand mirror. She looked at me and told me she was here to collect my soul. I went from thinking the child was cute to being terrified and woke in a state of anxiety.
Significant Life Events: I have been very angry and worried about my sister-in-law's treatment of my mom and my niece (her daughter). I have also been frustrated over my children's behavior as they have been struggling to listen and follow simple instructions, which has left me struggling with thoughts that I am failing as a mom.
Background: I am a 31 year old Caucasian female and will begin teaching high school in the fall.
Mental Illness Or Depression: I suffer from depression, generalized anxiety disorder, and social anxiety. I manage my illness with medication, which I have been on for 6 months to a year.
Location: I live in the Coastal Bend of Texas.
Feelings About People: I do not know the girl in my dream. She did not look like my own daughter or any other little girl that I know.
Relationship Status: Married
When And How Often: This dream occurred around 2am on June 28 and is not a recurrent one as of now.
