			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ok. I had three odd dreams. Two of which seemed insignificant, but now that I think about it, one might have had to do with the other. One had somethign to do with my dogs, but I forgot the dream when I woke up. Second one and third ones now appear to have something in common. So let me do a little rundown of the dreams</p>
<p>The second dream took place in a high tech research lab. The characters were a woman actress that I have recently seen in some techie show on TV, but i do not remember her name. The other character was Micheal J. Fox. I have no idea why it was him, but my guess was his movie personality fit the character my mind was conjuring up. They were working together on building something, when the woman tech asked Micheal J Fox to fix her high tech watch. He took the watch to his table and my view of the dream went to a close up of the watch face and Micheal working on the watch. That was it. Seemed pretty insignificant, but I still remembered the dream. I decided to ignore it when I woke up since it made no sense to me and I figured it was just a funny dream.<span id="more-54"></span></p>
<p>Third dream took place at my baby shower. My mother, SIL, her son, Aunt S., Aunt J., cousin A., her baby boy, and myself all placed in my family room talking and opening gifts. I know more are supposed to be there, but that&#8217;s all I saw in my dream. There were decorations my hubby placed around the house and there was food in the next room. Everything was as it was supposed to be. At first, I was lying down on the couch, but then I appeared on the recliner with my feet up. I started to feel a slight contraction, but chose not to say anything. I looked at my watch (which I never wear) and figured to time it&#8230;just in case. Another contraction came about 15 minutes later so not too much of a concern yet. Besides, it was a light contraction so no one knew about what was going on. They all went about their business with enjoying the shower. But, I suddenly broke my water. That when things got messy. I got up with help. Yelled out to my hubby to get the hospital bag (which I still haven&#8217;t packed), the computer, and my cell phone. I think it was my cousin who stayed behind to feed and walk my dogs. My Aunt J drove us to the hospital since it seemed to be the first car we got to, and besides, it just seemed to be the best option. She drove off with my hubby and I and that&#8217;s when I woke up.</p>
<p>Now at first, I was assuming the only real important dream was the baby shower dream. I was happy. Family was around during this big event. Things seemed to go so easily without having to worry about my car nor my dogs. But that wasn&#8217;t the entire point of the dream. it stayed with me. I had somethign else in mind. I figured then, part of the dream was also about my concerns about the babies coming early. My baby shower falls on 32w 6d which is very close to birth day for these boys. Also, a story my cousin told me about her day of labor and how her boy came early and without warning. She just went in to labor after her doctor checked her out and told her everything looks normal. She wasn&#8217;t having any signs of pre-term labor. She just went into labor later that day and out can her baby boy starting that day&#8230;at her hospital of course. I guess that story just kind of hit me that I just may not know when they are coming and if they come ahead of time, and I may not have much of a warning before contractions start.</p>
<p>I figured that must have been it. I was worried about when they are coming, will I be prepared, and the idea of having family there to share my experience. But still that wasn&#8217;t enough. I just pushed it out of my head. Later on, I told my hubby about these dreams.Â  That&#8217;s when it hit me! That dream about the two actors was not insignificant to my dream. It was a set up for the following dream. I am not sure why those actors were chosen, but the watch was the important part. The research lab was again some set up for the inner workings of my body. The actors may have just been playing a couple of roles of my inner thoughts and inner clock..so to speak. The watch had to have special attention to it. It wasn&#8217;t really broken, but it needed my focus. Time is running out and these babies are going to come soon. May not be tomorrow, but soon. So the setup was, first my focus on the time left of this pregnancy, then my dreams were telling me this is going to happen. Now, I&#8217;m not saying it will happen during my baby shower. I don&#8217;t think that was important really, but it was addressing a desire and a concern of mine, not to mention the main reason was that the time I was concerned with in the previous dream was all about the babies&#8217; births. They are coming whether I am prepared or not so get to it!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The other morning, I woke up to a very strange dream. It was one of those analyze me dreams that stick around until I figure it out. Beyond that, it usually just becomes a memory.</p>
<p>It started out with me about to go to a construction site out on Long Island (I was in New York City at the time) some time during the evening. I was met by the man who plays the Reaper on the funny new TV show I watch &#8220;Reaper&#8221;. He told me I had to use a bike and I can&#8217;t use the Grand Central Pkwy, which is the road I usually chose when traveling between places. Well It was starting to get a little stormy so I knew I had to get there quickly. I got on the bike and started making my way through a direction I didn&#8217;t like. I&#8217;m not sure it was through the Long Island Expressway or not since the views I saw were not always continuous. It was get rainy and windy. I went over a bridge, but since that was high, and I was afraid of heights, that was a huge challenge. I had to go down these steep stairs. While on a bike on slippery stone steps, that was scary and I did fall off at the bottom. I got back on and continued to drive through traffic in increasingly stormy weather. <span id="more-40"></span></p>
<p>I get to the construction site, and there are already people there working. It was definitely on it&#8217;s way to being built since some of the supporting beams were up, but not all of them. The house was being built near some water which was fairly rough at that time due to the storm, but none of that mattered to me. They all say their hellos and we joined together to continue the project. I was feeling so happy, almost elated, at that moment with these people I didn&#8217;t recognize. They all became such close people, like family. I felt so comfortable with them and trusted them with my life. The wind and the rain didn&#8217;t let up much, and it was time for me to head back. I was on the newly floored second floor with one of the young men working there. He was in his young to mid-twenties, blond, with a very friendly smile. He and I apparently was very close. I felt like I couldn&#8217;t wait to see him again and was going to miss him until then. I told him I had to go and he started singing a funny little tune about leaving. He gave me a big hug and was just about to say goodbye when a huge wave washed over the house. No boards or anything got out of place, and no one was hurt. Actually, we all were laughing. This boy I was with fell over on top of me and we just giggled about it. We both got up and continued to say goodbye. He gave me a very nice kiss on the cheek, smiled, looked at my face as if to be trying to remember it, and I parted my way.</p>
<p>I got back on my bike and headed back to NYC. This time the storm had let up and I was able to ride my bike much easier. The roads were less busy, I was able to take the Grand Central Pkwy like I preferred, and I didn&#8217;t have to go up or down any wet stairs. The Tri-borough bridge was still a little scary, but since the wind wasn&#8217;t as strong, it wasn&#8217;t as difficult to get over. That was the end of the dream.</p>
<p>So what was this dream about? The one thing that kept coming to mind was it had to do with my pregnancy and it&#8217;s journey to where I am now. The scary, almost life-threatening bike ride to the construction was representing my long journey through my pregnancies and the losses I went through. It made sense since the journey to motherhood itself was scary and I think that was the biking at night. The Reaper was there to just push me to make the journey and face my fears. The positive results with the losses were the obstacles I went through&#8230;the six miscarriages I went through. But then here I am arriving at a construction site feeling elated and overwhelmed with joy despite the scary weather around me. That represents my current pregnancy. It&#8217;s going strong, but it&#8217;s not without it&#8217;s problems. It&#8217;s a twin pregnancy which makes it more of a high risk (hence the weather and the open second floor in the rain). But it&#8217;s going well, hence the happy feeling from all the people around me helping me build this house (my pregnancy, my womb). The wave that pushed us over, even though we all were happy, I think may be a reminder to not let my guard down. I still need to be careful and take care of myself. It may knock me over, but do not be afraid of these rough spots, my pregnancy will remain strong. As far as the boy I became close to. Was that a son of mine? I felt VERY close to him and he to me like he was really happy I was with him. I have brown hair as does my husband, but he had blond hair. However, I just may be representing innocence and that often comes with the fair look of blond hair and blue eyes. He did have blue eyes. There is a twin there, but I did not see anyone else there I felt this way to. I think I just happened to meet one of them, but I do not feel a loss. I do not feel like I needed to meet anyone else. I can&#8217;t be sure I saw my son there. Heck, I don&#8217;t even know if I&#8217;m having a son. So, who was this kind boy? That may keep my mind busy for a while, but I do know that on my way home, things felt more comforting. Normal stress with good feelings of what&#8217;s to come.</p>
<p>All in all, I think this was a good dream. I think it says a lot about me and what I have accomplished along with goals and obstacles I have and will be facing. I think I can face them now. I feel like I can accomplish more that may be coming my way. I am not afraid, and I am looking forward to meeting these twins and facing being a mother for the first time.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I had a very strange dream. I get those a lot. First off, let me explain what I know about my dreams. I often have dreams that seem to require analyzing. Those dreams are ones that are generally finished when I wake up but I completely remember them. It&#8217;s like they aren&#8217;t finished until I figure them out while I&#8217;m awake. Other dreams I may be aware of but when I&#8217;m fully awake, I forget them completely.</p>
<p>I do have the analyzing dream very often and I love trying to figure them out. I had one last night. Let me tell you a little background to the dream. In any analyzing dreams that have a large message to send me, I am usually pictured as a dog or, more often so, with a dog. I was not pictured as or with a dog this time but it did have to do with it I believe.</p>
<p>Dream: I was watching the news when  story come on about a fatal car accident. The news released the name of the fatality and it turned out to be one of the dog&#8217;s vets. One I happened to admire a lot and one both my dogs like a lot. This is horrible! My reaction to the news was not one of horror though, it was more trying to realize my feelings. I was saddened but ok. That pretty much was the end of the dream. It was short but very focused. <span id="more-18"></span></p>
<p>Analysis: Why was I ok with this. I really liked her. My dogs really liked her.  I started to realize, the dream was focused on the feelings I had more so than the actual event. Sure I&#8217;d be saddened by the doctor&#8217;s demise, but in this case I think it had to do with change and letting something go, like the need to be taken care of in a health aspect of my life. Like I said before, I am usually pictured as a dog or with a dog in my dreams, but I felt this vet&#8217;s accident had more to do with me as a dog. I&#8217;m still unclear as to why I am letting go of this care. I&#8217;m still working on that one, but I do feel that I am thinking in the right direction.</p>
<p>Death in a dream does not mean the end of something. It usually means leaving something behind..a change or letting go of something depending on how you are picturing death. I certainly do not with the death of my vet, but I think she, being an admire figure of knowledge, nurturing, and care, her demise has a lot more to do with letting go of one of those things. It could be the change of something in my health. Something in my health that has to do with something kind and nurturing. Could be letting go of something of that nature as well. Due to my recent situation of yet another miscarriage, one could think of the dream having to do with that. I am not sure. I don&#8217;t like to think everything I dream of is about that. But it certainly is possible.</p>
<p>I have more analyzing to do, but I feel strongly I&#8217;m on the correct road to figuring it out.</p>
