Another odd dream this morning. Ok two. the first was I was (or someone else was but I was involved) building a HUGE house - like three football fields long, and there were several large trees inside the house they were building around. I was worried a storm might come and knock the trees down, the other person didn't think it could happen. the other dream I was an american in a foreign land, and was going to marry a man I loved, but who's customs and livestyle was so completely alien to my own, that I was so lost. I kept looking for him, but he was always off doing 'business' so I was tended to by maids or servants or even slaves, I can't really tell. Finally I snuck away, and went in search of him. There were so many people around that it was hard to stay hidden, and there was so much going on that was so confusing.. but I was determined. I woke up before I got anywhere though.

usually I blog about my dreams as if I am reliving them. unfortunately this one is so disconnected I can't really do that.

I know it started out with my being in bed. My bedroom was in the livingroom I grew up in. (I dream about that room a LOT) I was with a man who liked me, but was in love with someone else, he just wanted to cuddle. I was sad that I wasn't 'good enough' but I didn't mind cuddling. Then the lights were all on.. I got out of bed to turn them all off.. then I was outside tracking someone or something by the wads of gum or a gum like substance. I was in the driveway of my old house, went through the garage, went through the door, and ended up in a retail store that sold women's clothes. Fancy party dresses actually.

Then somehow I was in the water with a very young child. a year old maybe? I was in the middle of a competition with another person who had a four or five year old, and there were swim fins involved. They were disqualified because they weren't using regulation fins, so we won. it was by default, but we had participated and I wasn't disappointed. so I 'packed up' my towels (yes, I was in the water) holding my baby in one arm, and I saw a red tool chest. I knew it belonged to the other competitors, so I went to grab it to bring it back to the dock (yes, I know this makes no sense) when the baby forced itself out of my arms. For a split second I thought it might be ok cause maybe she could swim, but I still reached for her, but she was already out of my grasp. The water was merky, and she kept sinking. I know I can't open up my eyes under water, so I knew diving for her was going to be useless, so I kept looking through the water screaming for help.. which is when I woke up..

this dream left me feeling much like the dream where I squished a kitten. I woke up before I found out exactly what happened to the kitten.. but it was pretty obvious it was going to die.

*sigh*

I hate dreams like that. Why can't I dream about peonies and ponies?
