***NEWSFLASH*** For those who don't know....I am weird. I have known this for quite some time but I figured I would warn you all before I write this post. Just do me one favour.....don't comment negatively on what I write here in this post. Some of these dreams I hold close and they helped get me through some tough patches.
I have always had quite vivid dreams. It is rare than any are "bad". For the most part I remember them and can wake up the next morning and write them down. I can remember lots of dreams from when I was a kid. The one "bad" one I remember from when I was a kid actually makes me laugh now. I guess as a 3 year old, a gorilla coming in your bedroom window to play would be sort of scary. As a 27 year old I actually find it hilarious. I have had one scary dream as an adult that made me wake up crying. Not fun.
When I am pregnant or stressed is when I have the weirdest and some of the best dreams. In fact...some of the "dreams" are so real that I am left to wonder if they are really "dreams". Stay with me here.....this will convince you that I am in fact WEIRD!
Let's start with my pregnancy dreams. Anyone that knows me well knows that I am very vocal when I am sleeping and I have an appreciation for GOOD music. "Bubblegum pop" does not fall under the "good" category (and here I am overusing quotation marks....reminds me a bit of Britney Spears...BLECH) Anyway.....I was sleeping peacefully one night. Here starts the dream. There were many people involved....most of them friends and family. Usually in my dreams there are 2 or 3 people talking. Everyone else kind of stands around like cardboard cutouts. In this dream the talkers were myself, Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera. I don't like either but if they were the last 2 artists on earth I would definitely pick Christina to listen to. Anyway.....we were at a pool. There was a stage and Christina and Britney were competing. This stage was probably 20 feet up. You had to climb stairs to get up there. There was a landing about halfway up. Christina and I were standing on the landing when Britney tried pushing her way through. She was totally bullying Christina (laugh cause I am laughing while typing this) Well Christina was a wimp and couldn't take care of her own business so I took care of it for her. I turned around and pushed Britney down the stairs. She ran off crying. Well the time came for her to perform. She climbed the stairs. She got on the stage and began singing. I woke myself up yelling "BOO!" That was the end of that dream!! LOL
Another dream, while it probably seems awful to some, was actually prophetic to me. I was nearing the end of my pregnancy with Isaac and was starting to get a bit apprehensive about the end of my pregnancy. I worried very little about labour and delivery. I credit Jackie's labour and delivery with Emma for my sense of calm about my impending experience. I was more afraid of ending up with a c-section. Of course there were also the question of being a mother and what life would be like having a helpless child to be responsible for. Onto the dream. It was winter...lots of snow on the ground. It was a Sunday morning. The inside of the church was Burnham Road. The outside was another building. It wasn't familiar to me. I pulled into the church yard and got out of my car. I began walking towards the church. In my dream I was not pregnant. As I am walking I hear a wimper. I look down and see a naked baby in the snow. To this day I do not know what the gender of the baby was. Incidentally, at the time of this dream we didn't know Isaac was a boy. I scooped up the baby and was pretty calm. I never freaked out. I walked through the church doors and was greeted. The greeter (I have no clue who it was) asked if the baby was Emma. I responded yes. It wasn't though. As soon as I said yes I backtracked and said no it wasn't....Emma is 2 now. This baby couldn't possibly be her. So I got the baby dressed, warmed up and fed. Once the baby was taken care of I woke up. At first I tossed it aside as another of my weird dreams but I couldn't get that dream out of my head. As I replayed it in my mind it gave me a sense of peace about being a Mom. I felt prepared to take care of this little person. Sometimes I wonder if that wasn't just a glimpse of what Isaac would look like. I wish I could shove a DVD in my head and record some of these dreams.
That took longer to type out than I thought it would so I will have to come back another time to finish this. Look for Dreams Pt. 2. They aren't quite as weird as these ones.

LMBO!!! To think that Gina is dreaming about Brittney Spears and Christina Aguleria (however you spell it!)...that is weird and very, very funny! I didn't think the baby one was too weird. You want a weird baby dream, ask Alison about hers...almost as funny as your Brittney one.
okay so laurie has brought up my weird pregnant dream...it really is beyond weird though...so i walked into church and seen my friend david and i walked up to him and told him i had something to show him...i unzipped my coat pocket and pulled out a baby...it was in a womb and everything and the umbilical cord went from it to my belly button...so everyone did the congrats thing and i was all happy to tell everyone that i was pregnant...so later on i was at mom's and susan was visiting and i was getting really depressed because i wasn't getting the belly...so they told me there were 2 ways to get her inside my tummy so that i would get fat...first mom told me i could swallow her and i freaked...that had to be a choking hazard...she assured me that my throat was mad to stretch for that but i still said no...then susan told me the only other option is to put her in the hole she comes out of...which confused me a little...i was carrying her in my coat pocket but i still delivered the same way even if i chose not to put her in my belly..so anyways...that freaked me out even more because there was no way i was going through that pain twice...i mean obviously it would hurt just as much to put her in as it would to get her out...so i just couldn't do it...and that was my dream..no rhyme or reason to it and weird as heck!
