Relax this is just a dream. I know many people have posted what does this dream mean - however - this is a really unusual and vivid dream that I have had several times. In my dream, I am either married to my current husband or separated in some sense from him (either I was never married to him or we are split up in some fashion). Even though I am either married to my current husband or separate from him in some way, my older daughter is actually the daughter of an ex-boyfriend. And this ex-boyfriend has either never seen his daughter or hasn't seen her in years. It also only affects my older daughter. Either my younger daughter does not exist or she has little or nothing to do with the dream.
I have had this similar dream several times over the years. Never told anyone about it, but it can feel disturbing when I wake up.
In reality, does your husband treat your eldest daughter as his own or is their relationship strained in some way?
My older daughter and husband do lots of things together especially sports. He takes her to her swimming lessons, has coached her Tball team and regularly brings her to the Y to play basketball together. The only possible strain I can think of is he does come down hard on her when she misbehaves. He can be very strict with her. Maybe a little more than her younger sister, but more because of the age difference than any appearance of favoritism. If anything because my older daughter is old enough for sports she may even get a bit more individual attention from my husband.
Gotta ask this...do you have any reason to believe that he isn't her father?
You know eoe - I didn't even think about it - as there is NO possibility she could be anyone else's daughter. Unless I was unsuspectingly pregnant for over 4 years.
The other funny thing is the ex is a different ethnic background and she sure as heck does not look like the ex. She actually looks more like her dad than me.
Maybe it's your husband that's the real focus of your dream and not your daughter.
