abortion dream

[mesaverde]

i had this dream that i was dropping my boyfriend off to the airport, hanging out at the shopping center in the airport for a little bit, turned down an offer to buy some cherry pies sold for a fundraiser, and then made a stop at a friends place nearby the airport in richmond, the college i went to. i hung out at the friend's place, though i didn't really know who the friend was, or how i got there.

after a while, i realized that i was bleeding, and that bits and pieces of a person was coming out of me between my legs. i recognized an elbow bone, some muscle, some organs, and an eye in the muck. someone said, "you had an abortion," though i didn't remember having an abortion in the dream. my boyfriend appeared and looked at the stuff on the ground, and as everyone gathered around the mess, i get up and walked through the screen door of the house (i remembered the house having wood panelling), and tried to drive home, but the bits of the muck, in particular, the eye, appeared at my car seat, and i keep hearing someone tell me, "you've had an abortion." and i keep thinkin that i don't remember if or when i had an abortion.

i was kind of disturbed by this dream all day, and i have no idea what it means.

It does sound like a weired dream and you sure would have been glad when you awoke. I am not about to examine your dream in depth (a tad mentally exhausted meantime) but on its superficial level the abortion could indicate that some plan or incident to you life (could be connected to the departure at the airport) that failed to materialise yet traces of it remain and is still occupying your thoughts. It could be connected to some concern you had about your menses or possibly intimacy with a close associate that has been causing this concern. Whatever it is it seems that it does not rest easily on your conscience.
