the fact that i’m pregnant has officially made it’s way into my subconscious. more often than not, if i’m in a dream i’m aware that i’m pregnant. recently, however, the baby has started to make an appearance.

the first dream was last weekend. we brought “the baby” to show my parents and some of their friends. the baby was a bit disfigured (because that’s how baby dreams go sometimes) but nobody seemed to notice. i had enough of a “this is a dream” awareness to decided to check the sex, to see if i could learn something. sadly, the baby was as disfigured “down there” as it was on it’s face, so i gained no subconscious insights that night.

last night i had a series of dreams (even between mid-night potty breaks) that seemed to either be testing me, or reassuring me that i knew what to do in general situations. there was a baby in the dream (actually, it was a puppy at first) but nobody really did anything to/for it until remembered that it needed to be done (feeding, changing, sleeping) or that i pointed out that something was wrong (no car seat, the baby was actually a puppy, etc). it made for a very bizarre set of dreams. i think the fact that it carried over to other dreams, when i would suddenly remember “wait, there’s a baby. where is it?” was what made it so odd.

so yeah. one of the sites that emails me regularly said that the hormones are probably going to start messing with my dreams. if this isn’t what “messed with” looks like, i’m not sure i want to know ;)
