I have always been one who has very vivid dreams, but lately they seem even more vivid, and a little strange too...I am on some hormones which I'm guessing may be a contributing factor...haha I've been dreaming a lot about the past, and people who have passed also.
For example, Friday night I had a dream that I was holding myself as a baby! Yes, I was talking to baby Chelsey. It was like I was back in time, my parents as younger selves, dropped baby me off to adult me to baby-sit. Now, we could say that came partially from just finding out a friend was pregnant and going out to dinner with a friend and her baby earlier. So, that explains the baby, but it wasn't just any baby, it was me! I'm sure you could get really deep with meaning there if we wanted to...!
That same night I had a dream that Ivan & I were back in Jacksonville where we met, where Ivan went to college. In my dream he had year left of school to finish. So we moved back into the dorms. I was sharing a room with Megan and Ivan had his own. For some reason I was 'living' there but still had a job back in Bloomington (like it really was in college), and I was just going to drive down on the weekends to live with Megan & Ivan. And, Erin Sessions was moving back in too. She had all of her uncles and her boyfriend there to help her move in, and her Dad! Erin's Dad passed a couple years ago and in my dream I was so excited to see him, Dave! So we hugged, it really did feel like a lifetime since I had seen him ;) Throughout the whole dream I kept saying to anyone who would listen, "I cannot believe I'm 27 and am living in a college dorm!" Note to everyone-- I'm 30... so that's weird! :)
Last night I of course had another series of dreams, one of which had my Grandma Spaulding there, holding a baby. I had a dream about her earlier in the summer and she was holding a black baby. I really do think she & Grandma Beehn are watching over our future children or something. I dream about both my Grandmas quite a bit and it seems like every time it takes me a second before I'm like wait, I can't believe I'm seeing you right now! If anyone reading this knows Grandma Spaulding, the only thing she ever says in my dreams-- because usually she is just there, holding a baby but not saying anything--remember how she would say, "Well." Like if you told her something exciting or anything at all, almost like you're about to say, "Well I'll be...".... but just the well? She was saying that last night when she was holding this baby, trying to entertain the baby. It's always so good to see them...
I had another dream that our group of friends from California were coming to visit. Our friend Chad was so excited because he was bringing a box crusher to recycle boxes with this time... He was advertising he needed a friend to come party and that "the position of box crusher was open from 4 p.m to 4 a.m!"
