Nightmares
Last night I had two weird dreams, both of which freaked me out but at the same time impressed me for how creative the subconcious can be.
Nightmare 1:
I was back working at Keys Hall in Savannah and just stepped outside to go home for the day. The sky was the weiredest color I've ever seen and a group of my former co-workers were staring off in the distance. There were four large tornadoes coming right at us. So we all ran screaming to the basement. I jumped into a bathtub (for some reason their were enough bath tubs for everyone and I had friends from high school show up at this point). I remember feeling terrified, because I knew at least one, if not all, of the tornadoes would hit us. I was afraid for the pain and what it would feel like. Then I had this funny thought "Hey - If I can survive childbirth, I can deal with this." Ha ha - yeah right, but it calmed me down. One of the tornadoes got close enough that my feet started tingling. Then Soren started crying and I woke up.
Nightmare 2:
I fed Soren and then went back to sleep. This dream was extra creepy about rabid dogs stalking the tornado destroyed town. Some crazy celebrity left her baby son (who looked just like Soren) outside in a play pen alone. The foaming, growling dogs were sneaking up on the baby. Then Soren cried and woke me up again. This time he was cold - he had wiggled out of his blanket, kicked off his socks, and his little nighty was hiked up to his waist.
Thanks goodness Soren was there to save me from both nightmares. They were definitely stress dreams. Not exactly sure what brought them on... I think the tornadoes were inspired by the crazy wind that almost blew me off the road when I drove to Idaho Falls yesterday. And the dogs probably had something to do with my fear of some of the dogs in my neighborhood ever getting out and chasing me and Leo when we walk. Leo was once in a dog fight at the dog park and I've been a little nervous around new dogs ever since.
Anyway, hope I have some happy dreams tonight!
