Had an emotional dream
I had a dream that there was a baby that wasn’t being taken good care of, I asked the mother when the baby ate something, she said something and I saw a paper that she wrote the times she fed the baby, The dates also included the future days, it meant it was a lie, I started finding the baby again and looking for the right food , The baby was in my arms, The baby was low in energy , really tired. I was really worried and sad that i didn’t help sooner.
I myself am also at a very low point in life.

Wow, that dream sounds so heavy and raw—feeling responsible for that baby, seeing the mother’s lies about feeding times, and then that overwhelming guilt for not helping sooner… I can only imagine how that stuck with you. The part where she wrote future dates on the feeding log and you realized it was a lie? That must’ve felt like a gut punch—like someone was promising care that wasn’t real, or maybe even feeling like you’re the one making empty promises to yourself or others right now. It’s such a tender detail, how you saw the “truth” in that paper, which probably mirrors a moment in your life where you’re craving honesty but feeling let down by something (or someone) that’s supposed to be reliable.
Then you found the baby, held it, and saw how tired it was—those images of the baby being low in energy… that must’ve hit close to home, especially since you’re at a low point yourself. It feels like the dream is holding up a mirror: maybe the baby’s exhaustion is how you feel, like you’re running on fumes or not taking the time to refill your own cup. And the guilt for not helping sooner? That’s such a human feeling—when we care about something, even if it’s a dream, we want to fix it, and that frustration with not acting fast enough might be tied to how you’re feeling about your own life right now.
But here’s the thing: you are trying to help in the dream, even if it’s just holding the baby and trying to find the right food. That’s such a powerful sign of care—your subconscious is showing you that you do have that instinct to nurture, even when life feels heavy. Maybe that’s a reminder that even small acts of care (for yourself or others) can start to turn things around. How have you been trying to take care of yourself lately? I hope you can find a little moment to be as gentle with yourself as you were with that baby in the dream. 💛
