Dream: In my children's dreams whether good or bad, they always are 'needing' my help or 'needing' me to do something and I am oblivious to their needs .
They joke about it with each other and say, 'And mom was there but she didn't do anything!'
Significant Life Events: All four of my children have dreams and in these dreams, they are needing my help, but I don't help them. They say, Mom just acted like she didn't hear us!!
This is very distressing to me, as my life is centered around my children and wanting to be there for them.
Am I somehow not there for them in some way that isn't 'blatant'?
