I Had a Dream
October 19, 2005
Well, the dreams have started. Could be just me but I typically experience weird and/or freakish dreams when I’m pregnant. I’m generally an active dreamer (like I terrorize my husband in my sleep on a regular basis) but pregnancy kicks it up quite a few notches. Not to mention the fact that I always wake up swearing it was real.
So the other night I go into labor. It was clear we weren’t going to make it to the hospital so delivery was up to Brian. He did an excellent job, as I would expect, but as he caught the baby, he was most perplexed. “Uh…it’s…uh…it’s a squirrel.”
“Oh great. First of all, how did THAT happen? But most importantly, how will we ever explain this one to people at church?”

So what I want to know…do you think you might have some repressed guilt about running over that squirrel on your bike not too long ago and it’s getting worked out in your dreams?

Oosh (Pamela is my sister—she’s Oosh to me),
Not possible. It was a chipmunk I ran over, not a squirrel. DO YOU NOT LOVE ME ENOUGH TO KEEP MY TRAUMATIC EVENTS STRAIGHT?!?!

I dream a lot as well. I had freakish dreams while I was pregnant, well all the time really. But with pregnancy they changed so much so that when my dreams increased in weirdness I knew I was pregnant.
I dreamt that my son was born a cocker spaniel–hairy face and all.

I’m just laughing my head off… no apologies here. Hehehe. I love funky dreams.

I had a similar dream that an acquaintance had an advaark instead of a baby. To make matters worse, she dressed it up in baby clothes and commented all the time on her cute baby.
Huh?
