people are dreaming about me




Poor Midget Wrangler is having unsuccessfully prophetic dreams that the baby has arrived (though I'm afeard at her prophecy of a girl, now) and bizarrely the middle aged lady in my husband's work dreamed about me having the baby the other day!
It's strange to think of people dreaming about me!

Though I myself have recurring baby dreams, and have long known that dreaming of a baby is indicative of your own creative projects or work, or whatever. Though in this case, it's probably just that people are so focused on the imminent birth. A baby arriving belongs to everyone on some level, I suppose.
A friend who was training as a veterinary nurse, who had recently got a King Charles spaniel puppy told me she'd dreamed she was giving birth, with green surgical sheets all round - and the nurse said 'Congratulations, Debbie, you have...three lovely King Charles Spaniel Puppies!' as she held them up to her!

I've had so many I can't remember individual ones - some nice, some distressing. During this pregnancy I dreamed I had twins, then had to somehow give birth to them in reverse - actually pull them back inside me, and it all worked bizarrely well, and painlessly. In fact, most of my labour dreams (which I've had before I ever had my daughter) worked very smoothly and well.
I wish I had some greater point to make with all this, but I don't!

I dreamt I had puppies...which I hear is normal (!). My mother, when pregnant with me, dreamt she had a baby Hughie type creature. Came out the size of a full-grown adult...and was a boy. We see that was not on the money ;)

Pre-congrats to you :) For some odd reason, I'm very excited! I have no idea why...
