I have always been a very vivid dreamer - most of them are fairly absurd, only sometimes making sense with events of the day. Often, they are very intense with a hopeless, striving feeling throughout (not unlike watching Cloverfield), where I am trying to get to somewhere or someone but am foiled at every turn. I never make it. One of the weirdest recurring dreams I have had since I was very young centers around everyone in the world working inside Cinderella Castle at Disney World, with my mom's office on the very top floor. When my dad and Chip and I finally get up there to visit her, I'm all alone in the room, and I can see my family down on the ground, waiting for me. I have this one 2-3 times a year. Weird.
Well, I would take even the most intense crazy dream I have ever had over the ones I've had since I've been pregnant. The problem with these current dreams are that they are SO real and SO normal that I have trouble differentiating between them and day-to-day life. I have NOT picked up something at the grocery store because I thought I already did, only to remember it was in a dream. I have chosen not to ask someone something because I already know the answer, but then realize it was a dream conversation. It's becoming a downright nuisance.
I have yet to have very many weird baby dreams, except ones about having Baby D sleep in a drawer, so those are still to come! But for now, if I forget to tell you something or start talking to you about a conversation we never had, just let me know it was probably something that happened while I was sleeping. I also apologize ahead of time if I seem annoyed at repeating something that has OBVIOUSLY already happened.

yes, dreams are interesting while pregnant...your case is quite interesting...i have always been a vivid dreamer as well; the only funny dreams i had while pregnant were: having ezra without realizing it "oh, hi, baby, what are you doing in the dryer with these freshly dried towels? that was a lovely birthing experience...and why does your hair look like william wallace's, ponytail and all?"; giving birth to a completely ethiopian child and freaking out that michael would think i had an affair and not knowing how the hell i could explain myself...very hilarious....
Speaking of dreams. I had a dream about you last night. For some reason I was in a grocery store with the intention of getting up onto the roof. When I got there I saw a red doll house and when I lifted the roof I noticed it was home to thousands of mealworms. I never actually saw you but in my dream I knew that you and Nick had crafted it.
