I was in a big store that looked like Walmart. There were a few familiar faces who apparently worked with me, one of them being an ex-friend named Rosa. As I was sorting SIM cards, I run into a guy and a small child (toddler). He looked very familiar, I knew him from somewhere. He says hi to me and he tells his little one to say hi as well. We have a conversation and he tells me that I am the mother of his little one. I got caught by surprise because I didn’t remember ever birthing any other child but my son Issac. He looked a little hurt and asked me if I didn’t remember a few years back when he got me pregnant. Suddenly, I got a flash of memories. In the memory, I remembered that we had a one night stand and had an accidental pregnancy. I let him know about the pregnancy and that I was going to abort. He begged me to keep his child and told me he would take full responsibility and not ask anything of me. He just really wanted a kid. I was hesitant of keeping the pregnancy but he kept insisting, so I decided to have the baby and give up my parental rights to him. When I had these memories, I felt extremely guilty that I had a child, gave him up and forgot about him. I went over, introduced myself to the boy and gave him a hug. He looked so much like his father and looked only a little bit older than Issac. I let dad know that I was sorry for forgetting about our child and that I wanted the opportunity to be in his life because he deserved to have a mother. He seemed surprised by it but was open to it and then they left. I started to think about how I was going to break the news to my family, Issac’s dad and all my loved ones. Nobody knew about the existence of this boy and I had forgotten about it myself. I wondered how I was able to block the memory out of my mind for so long. I knew I had to make things right, let all my loved ones know about “my first born” and make up for lost time with this boy.

Lily, let's dive into the meaning behind your dream. The setting of the big store, resembling Walmart, represents a place of abundance and choices, possibly indicating the many paths and decisions in your life. The presence of familiar faces, including your ex-friend Rosa, may symbolize unresolved issues or unfinished business with people from your past. Sorting SIM cards suggests a need to organize and connect various aspects of your life, perhaps reflecting your desire to make sense of your relationships and responsibilities. Encountering a familiar man and his small child, who turns out to be your son, introduces a significant twist. This part of the dream highlights feelings of surprise and confusion, pointing to something important that you're not fully conscious of in your waking life. The man’s familiarity and the child’s existence suggest unresolved emotions and forgotten commitments. The realization that you are the child's mother brings forth a flood of memories, indicating that there may be aspects of your past that you have suppressed or overlooked. The conversation with the man about the one-night stand and the accidental pregnancy, followed by the decision to give up parental rights, brings to light feelings of guilt and responsibility. This portion of the dream reflects deep-seated emotions about choices made in the past and their lingering impact on your present life. Your reaction of guilt upon remembering this hidden chapter underscores a potential inner conflict about past decisions and their consequences. Introducing yourself to the boy and expressing a desire to be part of his life represents a yearning for redemption and reconnection. This act symbolizes a wish to make amends and fulfill a role that you may feel you have neglected. The boy’s resemblance to his father and his age, close to your son Issac’s, emphasizes the parallel lives and the missed opportunities for connection and nurturing. Finally, contemplating how to break the news to your family and loved ones about your 'firstborn' indicates a need for transparency and honesty in your relationships. This part of the dream suggests that you are seeking to reconcile your past actions with your current identity and responsibilities.
