Hi Rachel,
I am afraid I have bad news for you. Your daughter is struggling with the situation that you have mentioned. It was an emotional restoration dream. In the dream, we can see why she is struggling. You should check the different meanings of the symbols in the dictionary but I have a few short explanations below:
Red: Conflict, fighting, words creating or promoting conflict.
Black: depression, fear, separation, evil activities, unbelief, etc.
Fire: In a negative sense, fire symbolizes judgment. It symbolizes a person who judges people and who punishes people after he or she has judged them. It is usually not a fair judgment unless it is carried out by the official authorities.
People burning: This symbolizes people who have been judged and punished.
Man: a specific person, in this case.
Yellow hat: This person is consumed by thoughts of hate and especially jealousy.
Jump in well: These bad thoughts of jealousy and hate has caused this person to become trapped in a hole or pit or well. It is a place of bondage. Running and jumping speak of this person’s own actions. He or she brought it over himself or herself.
Car: In this case, a journey or situation.
Tan seats: Tan is a mixture of brown and yellow. So these people are together in a situation that was caused (accommodated) by jealousy (yellow) and sin (brown).
Fuzzy: May symbolize always evolving always changing aspects and conditions causing making it extremely difficult for the people in this situation.
Your dad died in the fire: By saying this, the stepmother wants your daughter to forget about her father and break ties with him. In dreams, death means separation (means stop the relationship). The fire means she wants your daughter to think it is because of judgment.
Daughter crying/crying out: Speaks of emotional turmoil.
Stepmother emotionless: Speaks of her being hard of heart. She does not care about the others involved and whether she is hurting them.
The flooding everywhere: Speaks of the situation reaching a point where it is very overwhelming, especially for your daughter. She just cannot deal with it. See “Water – Flooding”
The room: This represents the hearts and actions of the people involved (soul activities and influences on the soul).
Cages doors open: Somebody allows and promotes evil activities in the situation, on purpose, probably the stepmother.
Snakes: This speaks of deceit and temptation (Snakes in dreams and visions symbolize the workings of the devil or the work of evil. The devil and demons are basically utilizing two strategies; to deceive or to tempt)
Head Python: A python, which is also known as a monster snake, is not poisonous but huge and strong. A python in dreams and visions symbolizes the workings of a strong evil spirit that operates by means of intellectual thoughts of deception by attempting to make people passive by overpowering their emotions and their will.
People are being deceived by this evil spirit to believe that everything is hopeless and they soon feel totally overwhelmed and powerless. With this attack, the enemy attempts to put a lot of pressure on people similar to the way a python squeezes the life out of its prey.
In this case, only the head is Python, the body of the snake, not yet. This speaks of the intellectual intent of this evil spirit. The plan is to get the situation to a place where he will be a python. This indicates that the situation might get worse.
Tadpoles: A tadpole (the birth and development of a frog). This speaks of a new or recent development where somebody is making predictions (prophecies rather) of things to come. So this person is not only warning about bad things to come, she or he is falsely pretending that God told her or him that it is going to happen. This is sick.
Green tadpoles: A green frog symbolizes intellectual deceit. It is a false prophecy that originated in the mind of a particular person. It is, therefore, a prophecy that is the result of intellectual thinking and not from God. It is a person’s own imagination and intellectual reasoning at work. With the other examples above (a brown frog and a black frog) the fleshly desire or the negative spirit of the particular person is the factor causing the false prophecy or the intellectual thoughts. With a green frog, the intellectual thoughts itself (reasoning) cause the false prophecies.
Brown tadpoles: A brown frog symbolizes a false prophecy based on the fleshly desires and thoughts of a person’s own mind. It originated in the mind of a person, because of fleshly desires, who believe it came from God. People who are deceived this way will say and do things, as a result of such a false prophecy, which is often contrary to the will of God and contrary to Scripture. Many people divorced their spouses after such a deception.
Female who helps: There people involved who are trying to help. Probably you.
Warning big snake dangerous: This speaks of the big snake trying to deceive and tempt your daughter. This speaks of this evil spirit, probably by using people, attempting to get your daughter to believe bad things and/or to do bad things, probably pertaining to the situation.
I do not think that I need to interpret this dream for you. Just by reading the meanings of the symbols above, you know and understand that your daughter is in a bad spot. She needs help and she needs to be protected. You should probably discuss this with her father and probably with the stepmother as well. You cannot allow this situation to carry on. If you don’t, this will have seriously bad repercussions.
If you have any questions, please ask.
