Intense Dreams

They're back!

Last night for the first time in a few weeks I had one of those intense dreams...where I was being pursued.  All I remember is running away and hiding in a closet somewhere hoping that my breathing wouldn't give me away...that and the unbearable cramping in my legs wouldn't cause me to move.  Guess the cramping I experience when I sleep has crept into my dreams.

The other part that really threw me was that when this whole "adventure" was over, I delivered a still born son.  Yeah, that wasn't much fun to watch play out in my dreams.  I was probably about where I am now - a few weeks out from delivery.  I just remember the doctor telling me that he wasn't alive, and then just sobbing.

So, I'm sure you can imagine when I awoke I rolled over (to reduce the pain in my hips and knees) and just waited for the baby to stir.  Sometimes it's difficult to not read too much into your dreams.
