Pregnancy Dreams

I wanted to start a label to talk about all of the crazy pregnancy dreams I have. I think looking back on them would be hilarious. This first pregnancy dream blog is a compilation of the dreams I've had so far and what I could remember from them. I'll try to blog about them the day after from now on.

The Talking Animals
I live in the south and we have reptiles.  The lizards and skinks like to come and sun themselves on our screened in porch. They must like the breeze. In this dream, my mom came to visit to help Chef and I replace our fence in our back yard. Everything was going well until I saw a skink sitting on a portion of the fence my mom was working on. I told my mom about it and she said it couldn't move because it's legs were tied together on top of its back. So my mom took the time and untied the leg knots and waited for the blood to start pumping back in. The skinks legs re-inflated, he stood up, thanked my mom and ran away.
Also on this day for some reason there was a puddle of mud in my backyard and the dogs were running around chasing each other. Gigi, our Bichon Frise ran up to the mud puddle looking like she wanted to jump in. I yelled "Gigi, you better not jump in that mud!" She looked back at me and jumped in the puddle and rolled around. I kept yelling at her, "You are not coming back in my house like that Gigi. I can't believe you didn't listen to me." Gigi stood up on her hind legs and said, "I'm sorry mom, I'll go rinse myself off." She walked over (still on her hind legs) to the water hose turned it on and rinsed herself off.   This is when I woke myself up.

Caterpillar Baby
All the hype has been getting guesses as to whether we're having a boy or a girl and that somehow translated into a dream. I could never wait to find out the sex of the baby until after it was born but that happened in this dream.  I was in a delivery room in a hospital and had just given birth to the baby. We asked the doctors what it was and they said they couldn't tell. Chef and I were like, "What do you mean? Penis or no penis?" The doctors made us look for ourselves. Our newborn was half baby, half caterpillar. You know, sort of like a mermaid but the bottom was caterpillar. Apparently it would hatch and then we would know if it was a boy or girl for sure. Well this angered Chef and he decided to take action. As we were packing up to bring our caterpillar baby home, he was enraged at how this wasn't noticed earlier and so he decided to get a little revenge on the hospital. As we were leaving he grabbed the $500 rental breast pump that belonged to the hospital and started running down the hallway. All of the doctors and nurses started to chase him while I'm in this wheelchair holding my caterpillar baby. I had enough of the craziness and decided to wake myself up.

Snake Bite
Ok, this dream had me depressed and in a state of uncontrollable sadness. I really hope I don't cry while I'm typing this. In this dream I lived in a hybrid house of my parent's backyard but my house. It was strange. My parents don't have a fence in their back yard because they live in the middle of nowhere and our dogs and their dog don't go far when we let them out to use the bathroom. Anyway I let my 2 doggies outside to run and play but in the distance I noticed a huge cobra looking snake. The snake was across the street, a good ways away from where we were so I called the dogs in the house to get out of danger. The snake saw my dogs running and decided it wanted them. The snake jumped across the street. Literally jumped. No slithering or anything, it jumped from one side of the street to the other and chased my dogs. Gigi ran on to my screened in porch and she was fine but the snake caught and bit Sincere and by the time Sincere got into the house he collapsed on the floor and started twitching. He died from the snake bite. I was crying hysterically but for some reason I could not wake myself up from this dream. I guess I had to live out that raw emotion.
