I shall start with your last entry Tati. Veeeery interesting. I think this is the one you told me about on our way back from San Diego, ya? Seems this one has stuck with you. Have you looked up the symbolism? I think water refers to emotions, but that's about all I got. Dreaming that you were sleeping... that's gotta mean something. Overall though, your imagery seems relaxing and playful. I like it. Okay, my turn...
Last night's sleep was light, fitful and way too short. Naps were definitely needed throughout the day (luckily, my current involvement in a family road trip allows much time for these) and one of them yielded this odd dream: It started with me visiting the older of my two younger sisters, Christina, at her home in Camarillo. When she opened the door I was shocked to see that underneath her black tee was a taught round belly. Seeing my surprise, she casually remarked "Oh ya, I forgot to tell you- I'm 7 months pregnant." I remember being torn between feelings confusion (she doesn't have a boyfriend, and isn't prone to casually "dancing the horizontal tango". And why the hell hadn't I noticed this when I saw her just 3 weeks earlier?) and hurt (who doesn't tell their big sister these kinds of things? Was she afraid I would judge her?) and excitement (I get to have all the benefits of a baby without the burden of responsibility or childbirth. Awesome... for me, anyway.). The latter of the three emotions eventually won out and after a quick hug and brief questioning (the father was a guy she hadn't dated in about 3 years), we began planning the redecoration of the family den into a light blue nursery. Apparently she was having a boy, though she never actually told me this. I recall being very impressed with how she was handling herself. I've always imagined my sister, as well as myself, being a nervous and fearful future mother. In my dream however she was confident, calm and focused (not usual traits for this one, with or without a bun in the oven). Anyway, I woke up in the midst of discussing paint colors as our motorhome pulled into a local gas station called the "Kum and Go". My mind immediately went from dreaming to amused giggling to deciding which ice cream treat I should get. I never mentioned this dream to my sister (who had been napping right beside me) and had pretty much forgotten it until now.
So a tiny bit of research has given me these interpretations: Dreaming of your sister "symbolizes some aspect of your relationship with her, whether it one of sibling rivalry, caring, protectiveness, etc. Your sister may draw attention to your family role and sense of belonging" while a pregnancy refers to growth and development. This is actually pretty relevant to my life right now. The aforementioned road trip has me spending nearly every waking moment with my family in a space that measures less than 500 square feet. This inescapable closeness definitely tries my patience with my family members, and has my mind constantly pondering specifics of our relationships. More so with some than others though, and it is a bit odd to me that I dreamt of this sister when I consciously feel I have more latent issues with the other one. Something to think about...
So... how'd I do?
