DREAM ANALYSIS : What is the symbolic meaning of helping in dreams?

Helping may suggest that you have taken on responsibilities that you may not be able to cope with. E.g.

"I seem to have a lot of responsibilities regarding the heath of my family. I am helping with my husbands illness and my mothers. They also come to ask me about the medical conditions. I search things out on the Internet. But I really am not sure its with me looking such things up. Does it really help as I am not really qualified" [Dream Dictionary - people coming to help]

"I am organizing a Thanksgiving dinner for the homeless. I want this to be special. I just fear that things may not go well. The event may get into trouble. I am not sure who is bringing what. It hardly makes the planning easy." [Dream symbol - I help carry boxes and containers to the kitchen ]

Helping maybe linked to major disruptions going on in your life. E.g.

"I have got so much disruption at home right now due to my sister who has run away from home. I have been trying to get some support from a friend but she just smiled and looked embarrassed when I told her. It was a bit pointless talking to her."[Dream Dictionary - no one was helping, they ignored me]

"I was trying to help my brother. He has to learn. I am annoyed at my mother because I was doing the right thing and got blamed. I was taking my responsibility seriously.

Yet this was disregarded by my mother. "[Dream dictionary - I was following him around the house helping me out making sure he brushed his teeth, did his homework etc. ]

I cannot make up my mind" [Dream Dictionary - I put my pants back on and someone tried to help]

Helping may link to situations where you are wondering how to improve your life but there are several debatable alternatives. E.g.

But I am wondering if I should take a safe and cautious approach or a more bolder strategy"[Dream symbol - There were inflatable rafts that my brother was helping get organized in their big bin and helping the lifeguard hand to the people ]

Helping can link to some situation or feeling that you need to get away from. E.g.

"I have been thinking about having a Ouija board. I am not sure as it is a bit frightening"[Dream Dictionary - I asked my spirit guide to help me get back to sleep and make the other feeling go away]
