The Unborn Child
This is a true to life story of a friend who confided in me. I have asked her permission if I can write this extraordinary story of hers.
I was greeted by a sob of a very close friend one early morning on the phone. She had the most painful and affecting dream apparently. “What was it that you dreamt of” I asked, She said she had a child, a girl of four years. In the dream her baby girl was missing, she’s in Paris, her husband was looking for the child in a car park and she went to Eiffel Tower, boarded an elevator into a restaurant and looked for her girl (although she’s never been to Paris and never knew that there is a restaurant in Eiffel Tower and the description of the restaurant is very similar to Jules Verne, this is very odd and eerie indeed) She said she was speaking in French, a language she’s familiar with but do not totally understand. She approached a lady in the restaurant, asking if she’s seen a little girl, instantly, the lady said her husband is taking a little girl in the toilet and yes, the girl seemed lost. Vea (my friend’s name) rushed to the comfort room and found her girl cuddled by a man. She heard the man ask, “So, what is your name then?” “Meg” the child answered back.
They were speaking in French, Meg was wearing a pink ribbon on her hair, in all pink dress and black boots, an anklet was on her right ankle. That time she felt so protective, the man looked at her, his face whitened and suddenly his grip to the child tightened. Vea felt a sudden pain, felt she needed to protect her child from that man, thinking that if he didn’t give her daughter she could kill him. He looked at her then to the child, Vea walked forwards and felt she needed to embrace both of them. She hugged them both with all her love passion, looked at him with teary eyes and took her daughter, without stopping, she left the room heading towards outside. At that moment when she saw her daughter in the arms of her father, time stopped. Tears were flowing like a river from her eyes as she walked away, the once her lover was looking at them, letting them go.
Vea then suddenly awoke.
She said she felt cold and sick and terrified.
In reality, she’s betrothed, to be married to her fiancé although they haven’t seen each other for a long time. They are apart, he’s in the Australia while she is waiting in the Philippines. She met a new friend, Chris, and they became friends, lovers, although they respected each other and never went over the boundaries, they became soulmates. Everything about them is perfect, they have different personalities, very opposite but they connect in a very harmonious way. He is the yang and she is the yin. They communicate often and they are open about everything. They have spent a few moments together but it seemed they knew each other their whole lives. They knew each other so well. No explanations are needed when they talk about anything, they instantly feel each other’s feelings, instantly know each other’s thoughts, as if everything about them is connected.
Chris, is the man in her dream, looking similar to the child he’s holding, her unborn child, the father of her daughter… in her dream.
Days passed and clearly she can’t forget about her dream and she tried and tried to understand everything about it…
She sobbed and sobbed for days trying to console herself from the pain inside her. She cannot have a child with Chris, (although somehow she craved for that child endlessly after seeing her in the dream, she was the most beautiful girl she’s ever seen, brown eyes, curly hair dangling down to her shoulders, white complexion, speaks three languages, her native tongue, English and French, clearly she is very intelligent) that can never be for she is to be wed to somebody else, and he is still sorting his relationship with his girlfriend. They both know that they cannot be together in this life therefore they agreed that they are soulmates, they will be together in the afterlife and their souls will be joined. They will be forever friends till death but cannot be lovers.
Then a few days later she phoned again, my friend understood what her dream means. At first she thought that the dream was her future, she had a child with Chris but married her fiancé, but no, she said, “I realized that the child is not my daughter, she is a part of me longing, wanting and searching for Chris, me, as the mother is the real me trying to be logical about everything that’s what’s happening, the me that is trying to keep away from him for I am to be wed. In the dream, we are both wed to different partners and we cannot be together although our longings are still there. The child’s pink clothing signifies the unstoppable lady within me and the anklet she’s wearing signifies the promise of eternity. We cannot be together in this life, we are meant to be after.”

Amen Dencios.
Kumbaga pag hawak mo na, wag mo na pakawalan. Baka maligaw pa. Ahehhehe.
The soulmate naman can be a girl-friend or a boy friend. Di necessarily na sya yung life partner mo. I think maswerte ang mga taong nakita at kasama nila sa buhay ang kanilang “soulmate”.
And I think we only get to be the soulmate for as long as we allow that person to be.
Whoa Monique. Kakatats naman ang advise mo.
Sa tingin mo ba e nagkakatuluyan ba ang soulmates? Kasi parang popular belief e hindi daw sila nagkakatuluyan during their lifetime?
Napaisip tuloy ako sa soulmate chorva na yan. Ahehehhe.
I dunno… really. Pero kung iisipin mo pwede mo naman maging soulmate ang taong mahal na mahal mo eh. It is all within us. I mean the power to be. to create. to do.
nga pala… may kaibigan kasi akong babae na soulmate kami. i really believe it. may times na di kami kasundo… pero alam mo na when you are together happy at at peace ka. tapos nagka boy friend siya… di daw sila soulmate! lol!
tawa ako ng tawa!
Bwahahahhaha….Tawa ako sa estorya mo ah! Hahahhahah…
Pero tama ka dun sa una mong sinabi: the power to create and to do. Naks!
ang ganda ng interpratation niya ng dream.. yun pala ang ibig sabihin ng dream niya.
ok lang yan.
soulmate dos not necessarily mean husband/wife relationship. meron nga dyan, ang soulmate mo, pareho kayong girl o pareho kayong guy.
meron ako napanuod na movie na ganyan ang theme e. pareho silang girl. hindi ko matandaan ang title.
Heheheh…pag naalala mo ang title promking, sabihin mo nga sa akin.
Nacurious talaga ako dyan sa soulmate thing na yan.
nyak. di ko masyado gets. hahaha.. basa ulit.
pero the dream… cute!
Glorien,
Basahin mo lang ulet. Magegets mo yan.
hanef sa dream interpretation, magandang love story nga madam.
naalala ko, bale ba meron chat fren ako non tumatawag saken ng soulmate di ko talaga matake.
Tawa ako sa iyo Toni. May natawag sa iyo ng soulmate sa chat tapos di mo matake. Hahahhaha.
Oy, salamat sa dalaw. Nakakamiss din ang presensya mo. Saang planeta ka ba kasi nadayo?? Heheh.
madam regular po ako ngbabasa dito, ayoko kasi mahuli sa balita.
di pa ako nadayo sa ibang planeta dahil inaalam pa nila kung me tubig don, ewan ko jan ke manong darbs bat bigla nawawala.
nga pala meron konti handa ngayon..kain po tayo.
Hahhaha…nice naman. Go lafang lang Toni.
para sa akin heto ang interpretation ko…
dahil pareho na silang comitted sa kanikanilang BF/GF, ito ang naging hadlang ng nabubuong damdamin nya(babae)para dun sa “soulmate” na sinasabi nya.
ibig sabihin na dedevelop ang feelings nya dito sa lalaki dahil sya ang lagi nyang kasama, kausap at even ka-away.dahil malayo ang kanyang fiance dito nabubuhos ang kanyang feelings na imbis dun sa kanyang BF,pero dapat nyang alisin sa isip nya ang ganung isipin dahil pareho na nga silang comitted sa mag kabilang panig. ang subconcious nya ay nangangarap na sana’y itong “soulmate” na to na lang ang kanyang unang nakilala bago nya nai-commit ang kanyang sarili duon sa kanyang BF. Sayang! pero hanggat may buhay may pag-asa, baka sila pa rin ang mag katuluyan pag dating ng araw di ba? kung ang “soulmate” nya ay may feelings sa kanya ng katulad ng feelings nya, gagawa at gagawa ng paraan para sila ang mag katuluyan!
di ba magandang ending yun?
Whoa! Dear Ate Annie portion na itetch!
hahahaha….kasi bakit ba tayung mga babae madaling mahulog ang loob natin? magaling mangarap, na kung minsan naman ay imposible!
Oh well, most girls dream of their own soulmates…pantasyadora ang mga babae. Nyahahaha.
Teka, ang soulmate ko, natisod sa kanto. Basag ang ilong. Hahhahahah.
Madalas din akong may dreams na di maintindihan. Sa mga nakakapaginterpret ng dreams jan pakiinterpret nito i would greatly appreciate that..
May bf ako, mahal ko sya at mahal nya ako.. kaso madalas syang mambabae pero ewan lagi ko syang napapatawad.. pero before maging kami, meron akong isang crush.. “Super Crush” tapos nung mawala yung crush ko sa kanya, nainlove ako sa bestfriend ko ng palihim.. 3 taon ko syang minahal ng lihim.. Pero nung nagkabf ako sinigurado ko sa sarili kong wala na kong ibang mahal..
Panaginip: lastweek – nasa upuan daw ako nakahiga.Hinahalikan ako ng grabeh nung super crush ko, alam ko daw may broyfriend ako at pinipigilan ko sya pero malakas sya di ko sya mapigilan hanggang sa hinayaan ko nalang sya pero hindi ako gumaganti sa kiss nya.. Then few dasy later, yun bestfriend ko naman, nasa kwarto daw kami hinalikan daw nya ko sa harap ng isang close friends namin at hindi sya tumigil. Pinipigilan ko sya sabi ko may boyfriend na ko pero ayaw nya.. Babawiin daw nya ko at mangako daw ako sa kanya na iiwanan ko ang bf ko, tapos nakita ko paparating ang bf ko. Tumigil daw si bestfriend sa pagkiss saken taops wala daw ako masabi sa bf ko..
Before that dream, nagkita kami ng bestfriend ko sa personal at sinabi nyang mahal nya ko at hihintayin daw nya kong iwanan ko bf ko.. ano kaya yun.. pero bf ko parin pinili ko hindi sya pero bakit ganun panaginip ko..
Please send me email to delta@deltahere.com thanks..
Hi Delta, para sa akin kung talagang love ka ng present B.F mo, hindi na sya hahanap pa ng ibang babae. Dapat may respeto sya sa relasyon ninyo di ba? pano na kung kayo ang mag katuluyan nyan? eh di sakit sya ng ulo, dahil ngayon pa lang nagagawa na yang mambabae lalo pa siguro kung sya ay aswa mo na…at ang itsura mo ay naging losyang na…
Ang tungkol sa panaginip mo….dahil nag kita kayo ng dati mong bestfriend(na naging crush mo ng lihim) ay nanumbalik ang iyung itinatagong pag hanga sa kanya, kaya ang subconcious mo ay nangangarap na kayo ay may relasyon na tago sa iyung present B.F.Well kailangan mong timbangin kung hanggang kailan mo patatawarin ang pang-gagago ng present B.F mo sa iyo.
Iyon lang ang masasabi ko…kung kilala mo ang dati mong crush ng buong buo kesa sa present B.F mo, give youself a chance…..sundin mo ang panaginip mo…makipag break ka sa present B.F mo and give your subconciuos happy happy! hahahaha goodluck for the happy ending
@ Delta,
I agree with Annie’s analysis. Its your subconscious that does the longing for your bestfriend / super crush. Nagkataon naman kasi nagmamalfunction ang current bf mo so si subconscious e ipinapakita sa iyo ang hidden desires mo.
@Annie,
Sabi na nga ba na eh. Ikaw ang makakasagot nyan! Hahahha. Panalo ateng ang analintek mo!
hahahaha…..hintayin natin ang sagot ni Delta…
wah.. cenxa aman nyaon lang ko naka-ol.
salamat pala.. ganon ba yun may subconscious pa… haizt.. nawiwindang tuloy ako.. kasi lately nagbago na sya.. mabait na sya tapos saka dumating yung bestfriend ko kaya ang nanyari bf ko parin pinili ko… kaya ngayon oplan distansya nalang ako sa bestfriend ko dahil ayoko na masira kung ano pa meron kami ngyon ng bf ko.. yun tipong ang dami ko ng sakit na puhunan bago sya magpakatino, at ngayong matino na sya saka ko pa ba iiwan?… ahh… hehe
thanks ulet..
