Pregnancy Dreams

I've always had particularly crazy dreams. I almost always know I'm dreaming. More often than not the are full blown stories with a plot line. Rarely is there ever people I know in my dreams. Generally the only people I know that are ever in my dreams are my mom and my brother Justin.

Pregnancy has changed all that.

Though my dreams are still crazy, I don't know I am dreaming which really disconcerts me. Where I used to be in control, now I'm not. Though there are still plot lines, my dreams are more scene to crazy scene totally disconnected. I have been dreaming about every body I know. The good news is that Dan has finally made it into my dreams, so have my other siblings as well as friends I see both everyday or haven't seen in over a year. All of them reflect my tumultuous emotions. I dreamed about a group of friends from my previous church all wearing lime green shirts and they were all cranky and then I realized I had on a lime green shirt also. I also find myself dreaming about this show, Charmed, that used to be on TV about a year or so ago, gosh, two years now. Where once my dreams were just fun they are now so wrought with meaning and emotion I figure it out even before I wake up. Who ever said pregnancy effected dreams wasn't kidding.

When I was pregnant with Lauren, before my ultrasound to find out what she was I dreamt the whole birth and that she was a girl and that we named her Lauren. We had already settled on Taylor if it was a girl. The dream didn't mean much until the day we found out we really were having a girl. Brian and I then changed her name to Lauren. The rest is history. Some times dreams are crazy huh? Sorry about the cranky church folk.
