Amber, you've mentioned before about your crazy dreams...sharks, Lucky Charms...you should definitely write them down! XUP, along that line, sometimes little kids make up a story in place of what they dreamt. My little brother used to do that, and you could tell when the dream ended and the fantasy began. I'm pretty good at deciphering the two when it comes to Claire's stories, too. :) Amanda, pregnancy dreams are really vivid, aren’t they!?

After a while I figured out that sometimes her "dreams" weren't really dreams at all, but stuff she remembered from the day before which she confused with dreams. I'd say, "but that was in the movie you watched on Sunday" and she'd say "oh ya, I thought I dreamed it." One morning though, she told me her dream and it was exactly the same dream I'd had that night except viewed from her perspective rather than mine. That was wierd.

This was a good one, too! She said she dreamt that there were plastic drinking cups bouncing all over the kitchen table, but none of them tipped over or fell on the floor! She said their Momma was watching them very closely. LOL! Claire just woke up, so I asked her what her dream was last night. This was a good one, too!

I LOVE this idea. I have very vivid dreams every night but they escape me a few minutes after I wake up. Last night, I had one about Second Life that my in-laws told me about yesterday. Crazy stuff online and crazier that it makes it it my dreams! A dream journal. I LOVE this idea. I have very vivid dreams every night but they escape me a few minutes after I wake up.

I'm a little envious. I know I dream, but I never really remember them. Well, very rarely in any case, and I usually forget them within a couple of hours of waking. Sometimes I get this odd sense of deja vu were I almost see two identical images slide together and lock like a movie reel skipping, and I've wondered at times if what I'm seeing is the buried memory of a dream playing over what's happening in the present. Then I figure it's got to be just some random neurons misfiring or a twitch in the muscles that control eye movement. The last really vivid dream I remember was from when I was pregnant with my first child, and that was one of the typical pregnancy fears dreams. I gave birth to a little boy way too early, and he had several medical issues and ended up passing away almost immediately. The dream was so bad, I ended up waking Hubby for comfort that night. This one happened a few days before our first ultrasound, so I guess discovering a birth defect was on my mind. Wow, that’s interesting about your daughter’s dreams.

Sadly, one of my most recent and vivid dreams deals with a television show! Ack! Before I saw the last two shows of the season, I had a very vivid dream that I was a member of the Lost cast. I'd figured out a major premise of the show, and I couldn't wait to tell everyone else on the island. I'd even written it down in my journal. Just as I was about to share this major secret with Sawyer and Juliet, I was killed. Imagine my surprise to find out that *I* was the next character on Lost to die! I was so shocked! Ha! I couldn't tell if the dream was about me dying as an actor, or if I was really on the island. Well, the next night, I dreamt that I was hanging out with the other members of the cast, talking about what a bummer it was that I was the next character to go, and how no one saw that coming...thus pointing to the idea that I was actually an actor on the show. I remember Sawyer being very upset by my demise, and that made me very happy. Ha! Anyone else care to share? I’ll start! Sadly, one of my most recent and vivid dreams deals with a television show!
