Weird Dreams

I haven't had any really strange dreams since I was pregnant. Actually, I don't know if I've slept a long enough stretch to enter into a dream state at all, but that's another blog. Last night I had a dream that I was roped into attending this retreat for women who'd had  traumatic childbirth experiences. I'm not quite sure how I ended up there, but we were stuck on this island and everyone was doing a lot of blaming of all their current problems on their birth experiences that didn't go according to plan. Somehow, I couldn't seem to come up with anything to relate or share myself. I feel really lucky to have had the opportunity to give birth and we didn't make any real plans. Luckily, I didn't reach the end of the dream because Anika woke me up part way through. I'll never know if these women sorted out their issues, went on to have more children or what not. Ah well.

  1. Hey SD!!! Happy belated birthday btw! I too hate the chatter of 2nd baby dilemas from the fertiles. Its an awkward topic for me too. And I have lots of embies...just to traumatized to do it all over again. Anywhoo...sounds like your dream is leftover IF stress. After all you've gone through there isn't a doubt you have dreams such as what you had last night. I get them too. Take care...
