Some time last year I had a dream of running through a brown field of tall grass and at the end of the field was a building that I entered.  Inside I found my cousin who was a few months pregnant at the time laying on a doctor's table with her shirt up exposing her belly.  As I was looking at her, I heard the words "Blood Platelets".  End of dream.  I then woke up and asked God if this was from Him and to give me a confirmation if it was something I should pay attention to. 

I then went back to sleep and dreamt again of my cousin passing out small "dessert size" plates at my Grandmother's table. 

My confusion is this:  During the time when I received these dreams we had a falling out.  The only thing I could think to do with these dreams was to pray for her.  My problem with that was that I was really hurt by the things she did to me, so it was hard to pray "effectively" (at least in my mind).  I did pray for her even though it wasn't a very inthusiastic prayer.  I had to actually picture the worst happening to her so that I could get in the mood to intercede on her behalf. 

I did some research on low blood platelets.  I chose low instead of high because in the dream she was passing out small plates, so I figured that meant she would be low.  There were some major complications that could happen to a mother giving birth who had a low blood platelet count- which included death.  As far as symtoms go, I know she had at least one of the symtoms which included spontanious bleeding of the gums, but I have never really spoke to her about any other symptoms to confirm that she even had this disorder.

Since then she has had her baby without any complications in delivery, though she did mention to others that she thought something was wrong with her during the pregnancy.  I never found out what those things were. 

I guess I'm wondering if God just wanted me to pray for her and answered my unenthusiastic prayer that didn't include a lot of faith... or if there is another meaning to these dreams.

Hello Wendy,

 
If she had a platelet disorder, she would have had the simple and commonly used lab test that reveals this kind of disorder through her pregnancy and delivery. It is a CBC (complete blood count).
People with ITP and other forms of low platelets do not have enough platelets. People with a low platelet count may have the following signs or symptoms:
Signs;
Purpura (from the Latin purpura, meaning "purple"), which is the appearance of red or purple discolorations on the skin caused by bleeding underneath the skin
Petechiae, which are pinpoint-sized reddish-purple spots that look like a rash.
Nosebleeds
Heavy periods for women
Bleeding on the inside of the mouth, such as from the cheeks or gumsen doing daily activities
Tired when doing daily activities.
Uncertain feeling, or feeling afraid

It very well could have been God calling you to pray, and your obedience was inspiring. The dream will give you the perfect door to open back up your relationship with her too. So, tell her your dream......

Thank you Louise.
