Dreams

"Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your mind off your goals." - Henry Ford


So I had this dream last night that really got me thinking, and I just had to analyze it to find out what it meant. I took the pieces of it, and looked up the pieces. I felt like it was worth sharing, or at least writing here so I could read it in the future.

The dream: I dreamed that I came to a spot where some people I knew (I'm not sure who they were, I just know that I knew them) were standing around some animal. At first I thought it was a giant fish, then shark, then it morphed, and someone said to me that it was a wolf. [side note: at this point I said "wow, a student in the after school program was writing a sentence for his vocabulary that was "beware of the wolf in the forrest"- which in actuality was the case during the day yesterday- which is where I think this wolf may have entered from, into my dream]. Then I saw some water flow from the wolf and I realized she was giving birth. The way that the baby appeared was very deer-like, but it was in deed a baby wolf.

The analysis of each part (via DreamMoods.com)
Wolf
To see a wolf in your dream, symbolizes beauty, solitude, mystery, self-confidence and pride. You are able to keep your composure in a variety of social situations and can blend in with any situation with ease and grace. You are a loner by choice. Negatively, it represents hostility and aggression. It may also reflect an uncontrollable force or situation in your life. In particular, if the wolf is white, then it signifies valor and victory. You have the ability to see the light even in your darkest hours.
To dream that you kill a wolf, indicates betrayal and secrets revealed.
Birth To dream of giving birth or see someone else giving birth, suggests that you are giving birth to a new idea or project. It also represents new beginnings or some upcoming event. A more direct interpretation of this dream, may represent your desires/ anxieties of giving birth or the anticipation for such an event to occur.
To dream that you are giving birth to a non-human creature, signifies you overwhelming (an unfounded) fear in the health of your baby. You are overly concerned that your baby may have birth defects. This type of dream is common in expectant mothers in their second trimester. If you are not expecting, then it refers to your fear in the outcome of some decision or project. You are trying to overcome difficulties in your life and achieve inner development. In particular, if you dream that you are giving birth to a monster, then it implies that your inner creative energy has yet to differentiate itself and grow into expression. You may hold some hesitation in releasing this "monster" for fear that others will judge your or that they will not accept your ideals.? To dream that the mother dies during birth, represents transformation. The dream represents the ending of one thing (death) and the new beginning of another thing (birth). You may be making life changes or getting rid of your old habits and ways.

Deer To see a deer in your dream, symbolizes grace, gentleness, and natural beauty. It has feminine qualities and may point to the feminine aspect within yourself. It also represents independence and virility. Consider the symbol to be a pun for someone who is "dear" to you.

Water To see water in your dream, symbolizes your unconscious and your emotional state of mind. Water is the living essence of the psyche and the flow of life energy. It is also symbolic of spirituality, knowledge, healing and refreshment. If the water is calm, clear, then it signifies that you are in tune with your spirituality. It denotes serenity, peace of mind, and rejuvenation. If you are splashed by water, then it represents your need to be revitalized and more expressive. To dream that water is boiling, suggests that you are expressing some emotional turmoil. It also may mean that feelings from your unconscious are surfacing and ready to be acknowledged.?
To see muddy or dirty water in your dream, indicates that you are wallowing in your negative emotions. You may need to devote some time to clarify your mind and find internal peace. Alternatively, it suggests that your thinking/judgment is unclear and clouded. If you are immersed in muddy water, then it indicates that you are in over your head in a situation and are overwhelmed by your emotions.
To hear running water in your dream, denotes meditation, reflection and pondering of your thoughts and emotions.
Morphing To dream that you or someone is morphing into another person, suggests that you need to incorporate aspects of this other person into your own character.? You are in need of some change. Alternatively, you need to learn to see things from someone else's perspective and expand your awareness.

My analysis synthesis: From all this I see it as my struggle with confidence in leading the after school program- the frustrations, and all the ideas that I need to utilize and "give birth" to. I need to make changes, and am intuitive and aware of this. I see the water as a symbol of the spiritual searching I am doing and my cries to God to help me to make changes, and begin accepting responsibility.
