Dream Background
My son’s birthday was the day before yesterday. I failed to get in touch with him and only sent emails to his mother, who never replied. My daughter’s birthday is also coming in more than 20 days. As their birthdays draw near one after another, my longing grows stronger, which led me to have this extremely vivid and distressing dream late at night.
Complete Dream Description
I had an incredibly vivid and emotionally heavy dream, and my heart ached long after I woke up.
In the dream, I drove out with my two young children and a friend. The car suddenly broke down on a bridge. I asked my friend to stay in the car while I got off to fix the vehicle, hoping to continue our journey soon.
While I was concentrating on repairing the car, my children quietly opened the door and walked to the riverside.
The river was not wide but extraordinarily beautiful, surrounded by mountains, lush woods and blooming flowers. Attracted by the lovely scenery, the children approached the guardrail. My daughter accidentally slipped through the gap and fell into the water.
Seeing her sister fall into the water, my son jumped into the river without hesitation to save and protect his younger sister. In an instant, both children disappeared beneath the water surface.
I panicked immediately. My friend and I rushed to the river and searched frantically along the bank, yet we could not find any trace of them. I was overwhelmed by helplessness and despair.
When I was at a loss, my friend pointed to a bustling building filled with laughing and chatting people. He told me he had seen my child inside.
Hope surged up in my heart. Full of excitement and eagerness, I rushed inside to take my child back.
However, after careful observation, all my hope faded away completely.
That child was not mine.
The drastic shift from joy to utter disappointment brought profound sorrow.
Every feeling in this dream felt real and intense. The regret and longing lingered heavily in my heart after waking up.
Real Life Situation & True Feelings
The mother of my children is my Polish ex-girlfriend. We have parted ways. Up to now, I have no idea where exactly my two children live or how they are getting on.
It has been more than one year since I last met the children in person, and there has been no video contact for seven to eight months. On my son’s birthday one year ago, I flew for over ten hours from Beijing all the way to Poland just to see them. Regrettably, I was refused visitation and failed to meet the kids.
My ex-girlfriend now lives with an Indian man who has an extremely strong controlling nature. They have built a new family and have two children of their own. She has cut off all contact with me and never replies to my emails or messages, leaving me no way to know about or visit my children.
About half a year ago, this Indian man sent me two photos of the children. It showed that they were staying in India. In the pictures, my son looked depressed and visibly thin, which made me deeply worried and sad.
My son has just had his birthday, yet my emails received no response. My daughter’s birthday is also around the corner.
I can travel across mountains and seas, but I cannot reunite with my own children.
I sincerely wish my two children far away overseas stay safe, healthy, and be treated with kindness.
Appeal for Dream Interpretation
This dream was vivid, emotionally heavy, and has been lingering in my mind. I am confused whether it implies any omen. I sincerely call on friends who understand dream interpretation to help me analyze and interpret this dream. What does it mean that the children fell into the water and disappeared, only to find out the child I saw was not mine? Is it a projection of my subconscious or a sign of something to come? I would greatly appreciate insights from experienced individuals to help me unravel this mystery.
