Strange Dreams

Not that strange and vivid dreams are a stranger to this girl, because they aren't, but lately the dreams I have been having are showing a pattern and I wanted to document it. I don't keep a dream journal because I'm stubborn! I should. I have a journal just for that purpose, but I don't use it. I think I'm just making life harder than it needs to be!

The first dream was last week. It involved baby chicks and ducks. They were helpless. I felt they needed me to help them. They were sleeping and seemed to be sleeping in a place where it wasn't safe to be sleeping. I tried to gather them up to keep them warm in a pile. They were very sweet. The setting was the street where I grew up. The house/backyard was my neighbor's house...a place I spent much time as a child.

Then, the next few nights went by, I had a dream about baby foxes and kangaroos! The baby foxes were sooooo cute....and the baby kangaroos were clinging to my body...searching for my POUCH! Weird! I was riding a pedal car...that looked rather like a Hummer...or big Jeep. The street I was on was near the street where I grew up. It was a corner. Not sure if any of these details matter...but although I found the foxes and kangaroos adorable, I was trying to get them off of me and I couldn't. They were stuck to me...to my legs...weird!

Then a few nights later...maybe two, I had a dream that there were...(gulp) bats and bugs living under a bed in our house. It was so weird. There were piles of excrement and bugs crawling around...and I was so happy to have found them so I could show my husband that we did have a problem and that we should get rid of them immediately. Well, naturally, when we went back to look, they were gone! UGH! Disgusting dream.

So...what's with the two animal theme? The first two dreams seemed so similar to me...but the last one...yuck! I suppose if I gave it a lot of thought I could figure it out. Maybe the needy baby animals represent stresses...too many things going on and needing my attention. The last dream was just the bats way of freaking me out!

Anyhow...not sure why it matters...but I wanted to write these down before I forget. It's easy to forget dreams over time and for some reason I felt the need to document. I think I should start that dream journal. Then I don't have to bore blog readers (as if there are so many! hahaha) with this sort of thing.

Oh well, sorry to bore you....I'll try harder next time!
