ASSOCIATIONS AND SYMBOLIC MEANINGS
1. BEGGING. The dream is not about the dreamer its about her daughter. The facts that she has received are all second hand from her daughter who is clearly upset. Dreams merely represent the inner workings of your mind and in this case the ex boyfriend begging probably represents the daughters inner belief that they would get back together. Her mothers dream merely plays out this fantasy. She believes what her daughter has said. It sometimes takes a long time for things to sink in and that's especially the case with mothers. The dreamers daughter could simply not believe what he was saying. She believed that deep down he would change his mind and go back to loving her.

DREAM ANALYSIS In guesswork the dream was linked to the dreamers daughter. The dream deals with the following themes
- feelings which are simply not believed

If you weave together the different themes you find that they could capture these thoughts -"From what my daughter says I think that deep down he is very upset and will ask to get back together. She simply cannot believe what he is saying. He will come round eventually and get back together."

Mothers dream about their daughters will often bear no relationship to reality. They usually represent the daughters thoughts or wishes.
