Dream About Smoking Chasing Babies Punching Stepmom

Amelia, your dream seems to be about a conflict between your desire to be independent and your feelings of obligation towards your family. You mention that you were spending time with friends you don't usually talk to, which could represent your desire to break free from your usual social circle and explore new experiences. However, you also mention that you had to look after babies, which could represent your feelings of responsibility towards your family. The conflict between these two desires may be represented by the argument you had with your stepmother. She kept punching your arm, which could represent her trying to control you or keep you in line. You eventually snapped and slapped her, which could represent your frustration with her attempts to control you. It's worth considering if there are any situations in your life where you feel pressured to conform or meet certain expectations. Your dream could be encouraging you to assert your own independence and set boundaries with others. On the other hand, the dream could also be a reflection of some stress or tension in your family relationships. If you're feeling overwhelmed or unheard, it's important to communicate your needs to your family members.
