The Dream
My sister, brother and I are having a pool day with my mom and dad. After finishing lunch, my mom let me go to the snack bar and buy myself a roll of large Sweet Tarts. As I was walking back to the pool area, where my family was sitting, I heard screaming and turned my attention to the pool gate. That was when I say three lions, or rather three men dressed as lions, running furiously toward the other pool visitors. Each lion was a different color – one was red, another yellow, and the last was blue. The lions ran around the pool grabbing people and killing them by either throwing them in the pool, or just approaching them, and I would see the people fall over and die. At that point I was still near the snack bar, just watching all of these people die. The lions growled at my family and they died. I soon realized that my family had died, and I tried to run away from the lions who then realized that I was the only live person left at the pool. I ran over to the pool with the diving boards and climbed up the steps of the short board. I walked all the way to the end of the board and crouched down into a squat. I saw one of the lions slowly climb the stairs to the short diving board. He walked closer to me and put his hands out. I then jumped into the water, which ended the dream.

In dreams, dads can certainly represent themselves, which means they can be depicted as authoritative, protective, and strong. In dreams, he can by symbolized by the king character, or he can be shown as a savior or wise, old man. However, if in real life, a child or adolescent's dad doesn't take on these caregiving roles and instead is absent, aggressive, or controlling, then the child may characterize his father in positive ways to signify what he longs for. On the flip side, a child may represent his dad for what he is, symbolizing him as a stranger, villain, or a threatening creature in nightmares. In addition, just as people will say that children look or act like their parents, a child will see aspects of his personality that he likes or dislikes depicted in the father figure in his dreams. When girls dream about their fathers, they may also be thinking about masculine qualities within themselves.

For a dreamer, a door represents an entrance to different states of being through which the dreamer learns more about himself and his inner thoughts. It can represent greater self awareness or discovery. In addition, when dreamers picture someone breaking into their home, they're usually coming through a door. For adolescent girls, these villains could be a threat to their physical purity or innocence.

Death in a dream depicts piercing emotional pain. By dreaming of death, a child could be expressing how she was deeply wounded by someone's actions, or she could be sorrowful over a missed opportunity that is now gone forever. And, of course, she could actually be grieving the actual loss of a loved one. Death can even depict a transition in the sense that the dreamer is expressing how one period of life is now over, or it can depict how the dreamer is seeing a valued part of her personality vanishing. Sometimes when a child or adolescent is frustrated with a person, parent, or situation, she may dream of death in the sense that she wants that frustration or obstacle to go away. She doesn't actually want harm to come to the person. On the flip side, she can dream that an important figure in her life has died because she's worried about losing them, or losing an aspect of herself that the deceased individual represents or shares.
