In my dream, it takes place in and old house and I find a small elevatorAlmost like a maid's elevator used in Victorian timesIt is almost always in an old Victorian home and I enter the elevator, go down, and see a maid ghostI do not live in an old Victorian house anymore and have never had a maid!There was a fire in the old Victorian house before I moved there, but the fire was in the attic and was in the 1800sThe maid's attire is old and victorian, tooI have no idea what this dream means, HELP!
A Recyclosaurus is a dinosaur made out of recycled things (Ask the parents to bring some trash in) or you can do other animals- a cat, a dog, a squirrel, for examples.
1/Cardboard Box - Robots, Trains, Buses, Dinosaurs, Towers, Buildings (whatever!) 2/Egg Carton Caterpillars bugs 3/Cork stamping 4/Plastic Bottle Water Features (add a little food colouring to the water - kids love adding tubes and hoses to create a waterfall!) 5/Plastic Bottle Paint Stamps - put lid on the bottle - paint top of bottom and use it as a stamp (simple effective!)
Here is an easy art project: Get a big piece of white paper and write the childs name with a black markerHave the child tear different colored construction paper into little piecesGet a glue stick and have the child trace his name with the glue stick then glue the torn pieces of paper on itThis helps with fine motor skills and hand/eye coordinationYou could also get stencils with the alphabet in them(not with the broken letters) and have him practice his name that way so he gets used to the movement that goes along with the lettersHave him draw shapes and show him how some shapes can be turned into lettersExample: Have him draw a circle then show him that is also an oIf you add a line you can turn the circle into a p,a,d,qPart of a circle is a c, etcYou could also get whipped cream or shaving cream(if he wont eat it) and put it on the table, then have him write his name and draw picturesYou could also use puddingThose are things to do if you dont mind a bit of a mess but the kids love it.
The house represents your life and finding any kind of room or apparatus in it means you're discovering some part of yourself you were unaware ofAn elevator is a way to travel levels and in a house that often means levels of consciousness, and since you go down, it's like you found a way to tap into your subconsciousThis could be through meditation or yoga, or of course dream interpretation Going down there you see a maid ghostMaids represent people who take care of others' messes, they're sort of stuck with others' problemsGhosts represent old memories, old ideas, or old behaviors that are no longer useful or at least they're no longer in your day to day lifeSo the maid could represent an aspect of yourself, that when you explore yourself and your deeper levels you see that you get stuck with others' problems, taking care of their messes, figuratively speaking, but maybe that is no longer the caseIt could also be that you had your own maid in the past, where you could leave your problems to others to take care of but that's no longer possible Another possibility has to do with the saying old maidDid you ever worry about winding up an as old maid, that kind of thing?
