Dreamin'!

One of the symptoms that comes with pregnancy that has fascinated me is the vivid, crazy dreaming.  I think everyone's dreams are a little strange, but the clarity and "realness" of dreams during pregnancy is unbelievable.  I wake up disoriented and sometimes emotional, feeling like my dream actually happened.  

Some dreams are intimidating, like tornadoes and tidal waves are coming, where I am an eyewitness to their power, but are not quite nightmares.  Others are baby-related, and oftentimes somewhat disturbing.  One in particular that I have had twice is that I am at a house, and have forgotten that my baby is upstairs and that I haven't fed him in over a day even though he never cries.  Some of those dreams are a little frightening, but I am so intrigued by them!

One dream in particular has me smiling every time I think about it...I even woke up from it smiling.  In the dream, I was sitting at a table with my Grandmom, who passed away in 2008.  I can't remember what we talked about now, probably the baby, but regardless, I woke up feeling like I really got to see her.  I could see her face and hear her voice as if we were really together--and I hold it close like is a memory instead of a dream.  I remind myself of it each day, so that I don't forget it! Who knows, maybe I will have a repeat dream and get to see her again :)
