Recently I have been feeling deeply disconnected with reality. I then had a dream a few days ago that scared me…but it didnt only scare me. The dream was really short and it was where i was standing in my front yard where the gate to the sidewalk was. On the other side of the gate was my mom. I yelled “mom!” and my voice was so clear that i didn’t recognize it at all. she didn’t hear me and walked away. I got this warm feeling in my chest and when I woke up it was still there. I was very startled. obviously this means i need my mom to pay attention to me or i need to reconnect with hear but she isn’t listening in my dreams and in real life. For the longest time she really hasn’t payed any attention to how i feel, instead she just dismisses it as the usual. side note: my dream guide awoke with me saying “it’s alright sweety.” and as a side note my dreams have been dark and unnoticeabl, meaning that they have been very blurry recently but only the ones that had to do with real life situtations the only one I’ve had besides me dreaming about my mom dealt with water, lots and lots of deep ocean water. and the dream had way too many themes and I couldn’t figure out if all of them belonged in the same dream. 
Not all dreams have to have a theam perhaps you were just remembering a time when your mother left you maybe at a store or something sounds more like abandonment than not listining…
A dream comes from within you, and it doesn’t have to be your subconscious sending you a warning or anything like that. One could interpret the dream as you wishing to have better contact with your mom, or to keep it. I mean, you’re 17 going 18 - And some feel at this age they’re expected to become more independent.
Then again it could just be a dream built from your own stress and anxiety - Which I would just assume is there by the look of your own interpretation. Perhaps all you need is to lose some stress and relax. Feeling disconnected from reality can also be a sign of depression, and if you feel that’s what it is or moving towards I would advice you to talk to someone about it 
I think the fact that I am 17 going on 18 and having to become more independent is definitely part of it. maybe for the most part. I just don’t want to lose her because i’m getting older though.
I haven’t been left at a store before but I remember when I was little I used to run away from my mom in the store mostly because I was a free spirited child and wanted freedom. I used to have bad dreams about my mom when I was little too. So maybe I am a little abandoned.
Hi! My daughter (teen) has dreams like yours where she needs me…and sometimes she can see me, but every time she tries to get closer to me, I’m pulled away. We are close, but I think all of the talk about college, career choices, etc., stress her and make it difficult for her to get excited about the changes.
When we talk, I reassure her that most people she knows probably have the same anxiety. I try hard to get her to understand that she is handling the stresses of growing up really well. What relieves her a little from the bad drams is when she makes small goals…reaches them, and then makes more goals to work toward, rather than trying to do too much all at once.
Organize your life as simply as possibly, set attainable goals, REST, eat healthy, and talk to your friends/mother about the things that are causing your anxiety. If your are super fatigued, then things will seem worse. Another thing that helps my daughter is when she helps someone else with a problem because her focus is not on herself. Good luck…
thank you for your advice. I happen to have a close relationship with my mother as well, but just not as close as when I was a kid.
