A Random Dream...

I don't usually remember dreams very vividly, but this one was about as crazy as they come and I had to share.

My memory of the dream began with the exciting news that I was expecting a child. Funny thing was I hardly showed the whole time. In my dream I remember being in a hospital delivering...and then I fell asleep. When I woke up I was back at home in Illinois, but there was no baby. I remember walking around kind of in a daze knowing something was wrong, but not sure what. I'd ask Peter, (who was also randomly there with me at my parent's house) what was up, but he seemed to think nothing had changed. One day I was particularly grumpy with my mom and she asked what was wrong. It was then that I fell apart and wailed, "where's my baby!?" (Folks, it was really sad! I was crying so hard.) Mom said, "ohhh, so you do remember". She didn't seem to know what had happened exactly, but she new that SOMETHING had happened.

That's when the investigation began. Peter and I went to this hospital to try to find out what happened, since nobody seemed to know if there even ever was a baby. We talked to hospital staff and they could come up with no answer. Finally a nurse told us the truth. They had accidentally given away our baby to the wrong family. The problem was, they didn't know who they had given it to. Yikes!

This next part I don't remember much about. I remember being with Peter in a big building and I know we were searching. (I think my family was there, too.)

The next part is the best, most random part of all. Peter and I were with my family in a large, sunny stadium. The stadium was like the ones of ancient Rome. An official looking man was on stage and he was talking to a large crowd about our situation. Apparently, the nurse had told a lie when we talked previously. The babies, (yes, twins) had actually not survived. I remember sitting there in my sorrow, feeling the sun beat down upon my upturned face. heh. Suddenly the man said they has something to give to me.

Can you guess what it was?!

Two huge doors swung open to my right and a group of royally dressed men brought out what looked like a tray. The smiled kindly, apologized for my sorrow and grinned from ear to ear as they pulled off the cover to reveal two.....

BLUEBIRDS!

Yes, folks, bluebirds. And get this, they had named them the same names that Peter and I had chosen for our twins. (I can't remember what they were either!)

I was so happy with the bluebirds! LOL, so random. My sadness was gone, then end.

Okay, first--I'm not announcing anything, but I woke up thinking, what in the world? Bluebirds? So, I had to share. I know there were more random things in there, but I can't remember anything else.

  • OK just SO weird because I have had a dream TWICE in the last month that you were pregnant - I keep checking the blog to see if there was an announcement - what are the chances?

    The bluebird part is REALLY funny! Sunshine

  • One wonders why we dream the things we do, and it sounds like Sundshine's on the same way lenght. There does seem to be one overriding theme here! : )
