Dreams

Why no one informed me that your dreams go into hyper-drive while pregnant I'll never know. Maybe because they had scary ones, or weird ones like I do. Maybe everyone thought it'd be a funny joke to play on me. Well guess what. It's bizarre.

Every morning, now, Tyson wakes up and asks me what I dreamt about. There is never a "nothing" answer. I thought It'd be pretty awesome to share some of the dreams I have been having.

Totally comical. At least to me.

First off: When I was first pregnant (I'll say it a million times, until I'm blue in the face) I simply didn't feel ready for a child. Truth be told, no matter how many times growing up and hearing in Young Women's, "being a mom is the best, and you should be a mom". I never wanted it, well until I was older. Sure I thought "hey! It'd be cool to always be a young mom. That way when my kids play sports and are active in their teens, I'll still be young, fit and active too!" But truth be told...I had better plans. While I was ACTULLY really young, and fit, and active, I wanted to take advantage of that and do what I wanted to do. Selfish? yeah. In my ideal world...Tyson and I would both have steady jobs, and probably 2 four wheelers, and a jet ski by now. Total truth. We'd have hike The Subway and The Narrows in Zion, gone down to Havasupi, gone on a cruise or two, and since we'll have done all I wanted to do we will of course have a nice awesome jeep and rock-crawler, and probably have done 80% of the climbs in Moab. Total truth. Then when I got bored, (or rather the thought of my maternal side kicking in and my aging years) I would have decided to have kids. TOTALLY SAD right? Who HONESTLY says stuff like that? I did. So when I was first pregnant, of course I was shocked, but I obviously was aware that those dreams of mine weren't going to happen. Simply because I didn't have a good job, and Tyson is in med school. So I became excited to always be the young parents. That's pretty sweet right? My sub-conscious mind didn't think so...I'm guessing. I had dreams we were both working, we would go on vacations (I'd never be pregnant) we had a boat in one, we even climbed fisher rock, corkscrew summit in Moab UT.

Next: I guess my body finally accept that I was having a baby. Therefore I stopped dreaming about being "free". However my next stop was all about Harry Potter. I must have some odd obsession with him. Besides the fact that I love the books, I really don't have any ties with him. My brain does though. My first dream of Harry Potter we were at the dinner when we all first got to Hogwarts. I was engaged to Tyson, so we sat next to each other. However he spent most of his time talking to that Hermoine Granger girl. ba. To make matters short Tyson told me later that He simply could not marry me anymore because he loved Hermoine and couldn't hurt me. After that dream all I thought was, Well at least he told me nicely.  Next I just kept having dreams that I would be walking through hogwarts looking and hoping I'd run into Harry Potter or Draco Malfoy...I felt like I was Colin Creevy with a camera.  Then I had a dream that merges together where my dreams went after the Harry Potter dreams were over. I dreamt that We were all at Hogwarts (don't worry Tyson has been in every dream with me, on every Hogwarts adventure) and we were told that Lord Voldemort was coming and we had to get out. Mostly everyone flew, we didn't though. My mom came to pick us up. As we got in the car, I realized that I was leaving all my food in my dorm. That wasn't going to be okay with me. So I spent the rest of my dream packing all my food into my mom's car. Let's just say the car was packed by the time we left Hogwarts. I did it fast though, we didn't run into Lord Voldemort.

Food: After the Harry Potter dreams I think my body knew I was going to start getting more and more hungry because the next thing I know, I'm dreaming of food...and amazingly eating more food. One night I had a dream I ate raspberries and blackberries all. night.dream. long.  Then another night I ate pancakes and syrup. Mingled with dreams of hording food and grocery shopping filling up 3 carts...

Mixed Animals: This has been more recent. Usually I'll have a dream one night about food and the next night about animals like "ligers". Only not real ones. Like a racoon and a fox. Weird. and another about a badger and a panther. I do not get it. Maybe because our child is a mix of strange animals? ty-ily? or em-son?

Whatever. All I know is that Since I have become pregnant I have not had a dreamless night. Sometimes it's a pain, I don't feel like I slept at all. Other times it's kind of fun, I can analyze what it means. Mostly it's just simply comical.

.Laughter is the best medicine.
