Holy Nightmares Batman!!! The experts say that due to hormonal changes you dream more frequently, intensely and vividly during pregnancy. That is perhaps the understatement of the year. I live my dreams every night. They are real, I swear. They last for hours and every second of them are as real as this moment right now. Never have I ever had dreams quite this real before.
Last night, I had a dream that a very close friend of mine was dying and I had one night to say goodbye. I can describe every detail to you, where I was, what I was wearing, what he was wearing, etc. I was hysterical beyond reconciliation. I woke up at 3am sobbing into my pillow and picked up the phone to call him to make sure he was OK, absolutely convinced there was something wrong. Then, reasoning it was a bad idea because he was probably asleep and wouldn't react kindly to a crying phone call at 3 in the morning. I calmed myself back to sleep just in time to wake up for work. Immediately this morning I emailed to make sure he was OK. Which, he is, clearly. But I needed to make sure because in my mind he was dead or dying. He assured me that he was not dead and if he was dying, he sure had a lot of work to do.
The articles that I have read on it say that the top dreams moms-to-be have are anxiety ridden dreams related to having a baby. The second top dreams are sex related. One women exclaimed that her sex dreams with Antonio Banderas were so vivid that she felt like she was cheating on her husband every night. I don't have a husband. Hell, I don't have a boyfriend! Why can't I have those dreams? It would be much more pleasant to wake up feeling satisfied and refreshed after a lovely romp in the hay then stressing over people dying. I guess I will just have to keep dreaming.
