~The woman of the house and I were discussing the payment I wd receive if I were to babysit for her later that same morning. I looked at the clock (it was the cheap circular kind they hv in almost every single school room everywhere, lol). They needed me from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. That's 7 hours; and I wd get $14 dollars an hour (today being Sunday, I wd be getting quite a few extra dollars an hour, which is the only reason I was considering it). I did the math in my head (I know it's 98 irl, but in the dream I came up w/ 108). The woman of the house (she looked *exactly* like Nicole Kidman [specifically from 'The Others'] so from this point on I shall refer to her as Nicole) Nicole says, "So we will owe you $708". I'm just like "Whoa, What?!?! How in the world did you come up w/ that number?! I came up w/ $108!" In the matter of a split second I did the math in my head again and came up with the same answer as before (this was the correct answer in the dream). Nicole points to a large paper covered in presumably her writing in thick black ink on the large table that we were standing next to and says, "You didnt factor in the backpay you're owed for being Native American that you've never received". I laugh a little and say, "I think that's the governments responsibility to pay, not yours", but I *think* to myself, "..but heck, if you want to give me over $700 for one day of babysitting, I wont argue w/ you about it. I know you have the money"! ~I then grab my Segway scooter and leave, since I have 2 or 3 hours before I'm needed (and I apparently live just a few blocks away). I get more than probably abt halfway home when I realize I left my bag at Nicole's. I know I'll be back in just a few hrs anyway, but I need it now for some reason. So I turn around to retrieve it. ~ As I'm riding back on my scooter, I see what looks exactly like a small yellow plastic dinosaur, the same kind most kids play w/ when they're little. This one looked kindof like a t-rex (not quite, but I cant remember the name of the dinosaur it actually was suppose to be, so whatever. T rex is close enough). This plastic t-rex is abt as long as my foot, and it suddenly begins chasing after me, running quite fast, and chomping his little mouth filled w/ tiny razor sharp teeth that I cd see from where I was, and growling or roaring or something! It was rather frightening and I started going faster! I got away and wondered if it was real or just some fancy toy! It looked like a toy in the sense that it looked plastic and was small, but there was no one around playing w/ it when it began chasing me..and the teeth looked very real! Also, the way it ran.. I cd see it's leg muscles moving as it chased me! ~As I'm wondering this, I see another one! The same exact kind as before, but this is definitely a different one. I try scooting faster! Then suddenly from the right of me, ANOTHER plastic-looking dinosaur comes for me, but this one is blue and it comes from the sky (some sort of pterodactyl type dinosaur). I try to avoid both (mini)dinosaurs, but the flying one got me. It got me on my hand and was hanging on tight! It had me on the back of my hand a few inches below my fingers and I cd see that it was immediately beginning to swell. ~ Again from my right side, I see a dog now coming straight at me (he looks like a gray pitbull). He's barking like mad, growling and snarling, practically foaming he's so far in attack mode, but I'm not frightened. I can see that he's looking directly at the pterodactyl thing on my hand. His sturdy strong little legs reach me, and he jumps up, biting the thing right off my hand! I am SOO thankful! I truly thought the dog knew I was in trouble and ran his little heart out to save me (I'd never been attacked/bitten by a miniature blue pterodactyl before, so who knew what kind of trouble I wd hv been in due to this thing?!)! Until a skinny old man watering his lawn who saw this whole thing yells "Hurry up and get inside! Hurry before the dog starts flying"! It then came to me that like some sort of weird Pokeman or something, the angry dog only wanted to swallow the mini pterodactyl in order to gain his powers (the most obvious power was flying but it seems like there may hv been more to it..I just can't fully recall). Now my appreciation goes immediately to fright, and it gets even worse when the old man yells, "THERE HE IS, THERE'S THE DOG, HE'S ALREADY GOT HIS POWERS! HURRY!!!!"! Luckily by this time I was right in front of Nicoles lawn. I jumped over her white picket fence and ran inside. I was safe from the freaking mini mystical plastic-looking dinosaurs, but I cdnt find Nicole. She doesnt seem to be anywhere inside, so I go out back. I walk toward the pool and I see Nicoles daughter at the bottom of it. It's alright though, the daughter is in a form of aqua-hibernation. She shdnt be disturbed for another couple months. This was something the child needed to do in order to survive. But then I see Nicole. She's lying at the bottom of the large above ground pool as well (still wearing that black 'The Others'-type gown). Her strawberry blonde hair is billowing around her, and I start to panic. Suddenly I went from having been gone from a matter of mere minutes to nearly 24 hours! My daughter Q is also now with me (she is about 6 yrs old). I jump into the pool and Q follows. As I reach the spot Nicole is at, I turn around to see that Q is now ALSO at the bottom of the pool! When she jumped in, she must have immediately just sunk to the bottom. In a mere fraction of a second I think to myself, "She JUST sunk! Will she be alright if I save Nicole first?! Nicole has been here so long, she needs help IMMEDIATELY! NOW!! But then again, she has been here so long, Q probably has a better chance of being alive than Nicole does!" I turn around and go after Q. I'm abt to dive under to her when suddenly, out of nowhere, 3.. Angels? Children of Nicole's? They looked like children, whatever or whoever they were. They dive down w/ me. I pull Q up w/ the help of the angelic children. I bring her to the ladder, the top where there's that little seat. I lay her down and am abt to give her mouth to mouth when she starts coughing up the water on her own. She wasnt under long enough to need mouth to mouth. I was thankful. The angel kids stayed by her side and watched her as I now went for Nicole. I got her up to the surface. Q is now out of the pool completely and I bring Nicole to the ladder. I'm giving her mouth to mouth, and pushing some of the water out of her lungs. As I put my ear to her mouth to listen for any signs of a breath, I hear something. As the water is coming out, she gurgles or squeaks or..something! I know she's been under far longer than she shd have been, but I also know this family is special, and Im praying for a miracle! ~ I've my ear to her mouth listening to those noises as I wake from my slumber.. Never getting to know if she made it or not..
AI generated interpretation This dream is quite complex and rich in symbolism, reflecting various aspects of your current life and inner thoughts. Here is a breakdown of the key symbols and themes in your dream: 1. Babysitting and money: Babysitting in dreams can symbolize taking care of others or responsibilities in your waking life. The discussion about payment may represent feelings of being undervalued or not receiving proper compensation for your efforts. The discrepancy in the amount calculated may indicate a sense of confusion or uncertainty about your worth. 2. Miniature dinosaurs: The plastic-miniature-mystical dinosaurs chasing after you may represent fears or challenges that feel overwhelming or out of control. The fact that they appear small and plastic-like could suggest that these obstacles may not be as threatening as they seem and could potentially be overcome with courage and determination. 3. Dog saving you: The gray pitbull symbolizes loyalty, protection, and courage. The dog's actions in rescuing you from the dinosaur may reflect a supportive and reliable individual or aspect of yourself that comes to your aid in times of trouble. 4. Aqua-hibernating child and Nicole: The underwater scenes with Nicole and her daughter may symbolize hidden or submerged emotions, particularly related to nurturing and the care of others. The aqua-hibernation could represent a need for introspection or a period of rest before emerging renewed or transformed. 5. Angels or children assisting: The appearance of angelic children to help you rescue Nicole and her daughter suggests divine intervention or guidance in difficult situations. They may symbolize innocence, purity, and protection during challenging times. Overall, this dream appears to reflect your inner struggles with feelings of worth, fears, and the need for support and reassurance. It may be helpful to reflect on these themes and consider how they relate to your waking life circumstances and emotions. Engaging in self-care practices, seeking support from loved ones, or exploring your fears and dreams with a therapist could help you navigate these inner challenges and find a sense of peace and resolution.
