My mom had come to my work, and we were walking down the hallway when she turned back and ran to the bathroom. I proceeded to my desk. Then someone told me a woman was throwing up blood in the bathroom. I was frantically looking for a phone to call my daughter and couldn’t find one. Mom started to scream in pain, so I picked her up and headed outside. I noticed a person dragging a lady face down in front of us. Then I woke up. –Lori, 41, Modesto, CA

Lauri: This dream is not about your mom but rather about your own role as mom. Your mom throwing up blood is a warning sign that there is something unhealthy in your relationship with your daughter. Since there is no phone in the dream, your communication with her is not working. The pain your mother has is your emotional pain. Your dream is telling you to “pick yourself up” and get this “out” in the open with your daughter. No need to allow this issue to “drag” on and on.

Lori replies: My daughter recently moved out with her boyfriend. She told me they fight every day. From what I’ve gathered, he has anger issues. He wants to know her every move. She actually gave him till May 1 to pull it together or she’ll be moving back home. I’m there to listen, but she tends to make her own decisions. Over the weekend, I expressed my feelings to her about the fear I have. I hope she holds firm on her decision.
