I decided I should try to keep track of the dreams I've been having lately, since they've been really interesting and rather complex.
Last night my dream jumped around a lot. At the beginning of the dream I was setting up a scavenger hunt for incoming freshman and so was my friend Bennett. I was making a tie out of construction paper as one of the clues for the hunt. For some reason I was making the tie by layering different colors of paper (red and blue I think). I was in the process putting it upstairs in a crowded, messy, old, dark house when I realized that Bennett had beat me. Then my dream jumped to the cafeteria here on campus, where I was waiting for some sort of food, I want to say it was something yellow, like mac and cheese, or lemons?
My dream then jumped again. I was walking out of the man-made clearing towards a two-story, yellow house with white shutters. The clearing was there because we were cutting down some trees. I had gone out to check on the progress. I can't quite remember but I feel like there was someone else there in the dream, the person I was checking on, my husband I'm assuming? I wasn't that much older than I am now though. I was wearing warm clothes, jeans and a long sleeve wool sweater? It was a grey day.
Then the dream cut to me giving birth in the house. I was surprised and joyful. The mother of a boy I went to school with was my mid-wife like helper. I gave birth in a bed with white sheets. There was some discussion of how the sheets were folded so that they could be removed after. I gave birth to a baby girl. There was a lot of fluid. I saw this from the third person, sort of from the perspective of the mid-wife. The baby had a name, but I don't remember it, and she was wrapped up in a white sheet and placed in a small plastic storage container (like the rectangular ones people put shoes in). I was very happy about the baby, but I remember being surprised and surprised at how little anticipation, nervousness, and confusion there had been. I picked the baby up out of the box and went to show a person who was like a father figure. I was so happy and proud of the little girl.
