Mysterious Woman - "Akna"

Morning of March 4, 2007. Sunday.

I am with my youngest son at a grocery store, which seems much like the store closest to where we live to the north, but oriented perpendicular to how it is in real life. It is possible that the rest of my family is there, and shopping in another part of the store.

There is an unknown woman there who I believe works there (in my dream only). She is very pretty and about thirty. It seems as if she may be Italian (at first) but has a sort of South American look as well. Her skin is slightly dark and she seems to have an elaborate headpiece with bells or small silver balls on it. Later, I am not really sure if she is a worker or someone who just came into the store to talk to us. She reminds me slightly of a gypsy and also of my wife.

For some reason, she thinks my son is carrying (or is in contact with?) the spirit of her grandfather(?) in addition to another spirit. She wants to ask my son a question. She asks my son by whispering the question in his left ear (something that I would never agree to in real life; it even feels wrong in my dream at first). She seems to be doing some sort of ritual, mostly only a sort of sing-song and acknowledgement of my son's "powers". I feel a bit uneasy, not sure of what is going on. It almost seems that I am only there to take my son back home so that he will not get lost. What sort of things did she say to my son?

Anyway, I bow down to have my son speak a name in my left ear rather loudly and clearly, but still somewhat like a whisper, but also seemingly meant to reassure me.

The name is..."Akna". (The mysterious woman's name?)

"Akna?" It does not sound familiar. A few thoughts go through my head. Acne? What is the word? Akna. Why Akna? A last name of an unknown family member? I wake up, somewhat annoyed, as my dream did not seem to make sense regardless of how vivid it became.

* In Inuit mythology, Akna ("mother") is a goddess of fertility and childbirth.

* Akna is also the name of a goddess of motherhood and birthing in Maya mythology.

Inuit and Maya are rather regionally distant from each other.

My wife just had a baby recently, and needed to have a C-Section. I certainly do not remember hearing about "Akna", though. I would likely remember hearing a word a few times that sounded like someone saying "acne" with an accent.

My wife said that our son (the one in my dream - age four years) had been doing some unusual sing-song chanting before going to sleep that sounded like some sort of different language, with a lot of m, n, and k sounds. My dream date matches the date circled in my wife's journal (I had not seen it) about when she thought she would have our new baby (although it was by C-section much earlier). My wife has the theory of my dream being a result of her regret over not having the baby at the "right" time - but I have no regret; am glad she got through it, especially with all the wrong ideas that doctors get from ultrasounds sometimes. At this point, I also am wondering if it was our new baby seen older in my dream, or our next-to-youngest son, although I am almost sure it was our next-to-youngest but uncertain as to why.
