7th dream

Everyone said I'd have some strange dreams during this pregnancy... and that I have! I'd thought I'd share a few of the ones I've been able to remember.

I remember they started as animal dreams. The first odd and vivid dream I had was set in a seaside village and with channels of water connecting the ocean with the village, almost replacing streets, it seemed. I remember spotting Orka whales in the bay and seeing them fighting and eventually suffering some kind of massacre/mutilation. I began swimming the channels back into town to avoid the blood and carcasses, but the tides were pulling the awful scene into the village. At one point I remembered being completely engulfed in blood and guts. The disgust and matter of fact of it were simultaneous and I eventually was fine, climbed my way out.

Another early pregnancy dream was simply me watching a baby cow try to nuzzle an infant sleeping in it's stroller. The cow was cat-like in its attempt to be affectionate and gradually tried to climb into the stroller with the infant.

A few that I especially enjoyed were when my belly was translucent when a bright light was shown from one side. I remember a few times having this dream and being able to see the baby's position and rub his little head through my belly.

Once I dreamt, that just for a brief moment, I had removed the baby from my belly long enough to see it was a girl and then I put her back. She's not a girl.

A recent dream I had was a bit more amusing. I was being analyzed by a young lady who was a very serious participant in a dance related event. And she asked me to answer a few questions and then was going to give me some feddback. One of the first things she said was I needed to engage my abdominals a bit and added that I was a bit lax in addressing this area. I responded I was pregnant, in fact, 9 months pregnant! To which she replied, "oh, really? Gosh, how old ARE you? You can be much older than me!" "Well, I wouldn't know," I said. "How old are you?" "25".... and I laughed...."I'm 35" at that point she got about telling me her assessment. That I would need an E-F to the G ratio above HIJ and that this would really need a lot of massage oil. And that she didn't know if it would be worth it. Another dance/body analyzer came over when she heard this and asked what was the problem. My girl remarked that everything was in order and it was all because of my smirk. (hmmm, was I smirking? perhaps....) This second lady began to ask me a few questions and concluded that yes, a subtle smirk had in fact been detected. Maybe next time they won't ask me to hold in my 9 month pregnant stomach!
