"We got divorced and our child was taken to a foster family" - a dream interpretation
The dream
My husband is known for his prophetic dreams. Once he dreamed that we were divorced and getting married again and I was in a white dress and some old woman interpreted the dream that I was pregnant (second time) and so it was!
This morning he woke up and told me that he had had a very difficult dream from which he woke up crying. He dreamed that we were separated and our child, reluctantly, had to go to a foster family. He woke up with very difficult emotions, not knowing what to do about the situation.
Do you have any idea what that means?
We are 30+ years old with two children, ages 3 and 6.5. We are busy with routine things and two weddings pending of his brothers.

My Interpretation
I want to relate to the dream in its supernatural level. That is, without addressing the details but rather focusing on the feelings the dream left on your husband, and indirectly on you too. Why did the dream create so much drama? Why did the dream make him cry as if it was a reality that would soon come true?
This is the key point. The potentials for different realities are around us all the time. True, there is a potential for divorce and that your child will go to a foster family. There is also the potential that the love between you two will flourish and thrive and you will live together - you and the whole family - for many years to come. What reality do you choose?
This is the main message in the dream for you
To understand that your ability to choose is a gift and that this is exactly how your reality is determined. No dream has more power than a conscious choice you make. No one has more power than you have. Once you understand that dreams only represent possible scenarios, you can more easily choose what to accept and what to reject.
Hello! I sure hope that the dream doesn't really mean these things are set in motion to actually happen.
BUT if this couple really want to make sure that it doesn't happen, here are some suggestions for them.
#1) Ask a lawyer to draw up a document that states that in the case of the husband and wife being "incapacitated" that the children would be taken care of by a person that they name.
This means, that if they ever go to jail, are in a coma, OR are deemed unfit parents by Child Protective Services, that the children would NOT go to CPS Foster Care system but would go to the named person/relative.
#2) Everyone should learn their rights. NEVER EVER let CPS into your house without a warrant from a Judge that orders entry into your house. Do not let CPS talk to your children without a warrant from a Judge. Most nuisance complaints against you will simply be dropped, because a Judge will probably not issue a warrant with so little to justify it. CPS only wants to gain entry to your home and talk to your children in a attempt to "fish" for evidence so that they CAN get a Judge to issue an Order for their intervention.
Here is a good article to read that I wrote about it:

Dreams that actually end up in the reality are scarce. Nevertheless, they allow us to be aware of inner processes (thoughts, fears etc) and hence bring up the needed response from the outside reality, like your advice. 👍
I like how you remind the dreamer that there are choices to made about which reality. A good opportunity for this couple to look at what really matters to them, their feelings of not wanting to separate or lose their children.
I have had dreams about very difficult situations in my own life that have come true. I believe they were warning dreams and perhaps I had some ability to change the reality, but also felt when they involved others that they have the free-agency and a part in how things play out and no matter our own efforts or sharing the dream with them--they can, and do, make decisions that can deeply affect our lives.
Also, in some of these dreams all of the details of the dream did not become clear until much time had passed and were depicting later results of the decisions people close to me had made. So, even though I agree that we are agents of change in our own realities, we are also all connected and other's may stay on a particular trajectory and this is the nature of spiritual growth born of hardship, challenge and sometimes even tragedy.
Yes, indeed. Sometimes bad dreams appear upfront to prepare us for the harsh event so the shock will not be so severe. It's part of the ingrained healing mechanism within us.
Thanks for sharing this 👍
