In a dark, changing identity dream, the dreamer was both an African-American mother and her daughter seeking safety in a grandmother's house, transitioning through a dangerous wild game preserve to a desert, and experiencing vulnerability and cleverness. This repeated journey concludes with a heart-pounding escape.

The dual identity could represent an exploration of personal identity or empathy for others. The house might symbolize a search for safety or familial roots. The wild game preserve could represent unknown dangers in life. Hiding in the shadows might suggest feelings of being hidden or suppressed. The desert signifies a challenging phase or barren emotions. The roles of mother and daughter indicate a dynamic of protection and cleverness versus vulnerability.
