I was having this beautiful
dream that Walter and I had a baby daughter. We had named her "Molly"
although we hadn't settled on a middle name yet (I had suggested "Shannon"
because it sounded familiar). At first I was cuddled up next to Walter
in bed and I started to snooze until our nephew came in and handed me Molly.
I held onto her and cuddled her, and I was going to sleep with her in my
arms. She was fidgety and kept flailing her arms and legs so I started
whispering to her "hush little baby don't say a word...". Immediately
she calmed down. I kept burying my face in her stomach and enjoying
her lovely fragrance (that wonderful "baby smell"). I was smiling
a lot and I was very happy. I remember laying there for what seemed
like only an hour, but suddenly it was morning.
Then later in the dream
I was in my old bedroom and Molly was supposedly two weeks old, although
she was 2 or 3 feet tall and was walking around. I grabbed her hand
and we started skipping around in a circle. I looked up at Walter,
who was sitting on the bed watching us. Molly stumbled (but didn't
fall) and she kept saying, "I twipped! I twipped!" I looked
over at Walter, who had turned into my sister, and we looked shocked for
a moment at each other. Then me and my sister were trying to get
Molly to spell, and my sister went off looking for a book of spelling bee
words. I began telling Molly about both mine and my sister's experiences
with spelling bees. We were sitting on the bed, and Molly began to
tell me about places that she had lived previously. She had lived
several places, one of them being Virginia, I think.
In another dream, I was
with a guy that looked like the dark-headed guy from "Suddenly Susan".
He took me out to a nice restaurant for lunch and then he said he wanted
to browse through downtown Atlanta, which was kinda like a big mall.
So we went walking around this mall, looking at the shops and stuff.
I kept wondering why he was being nice to me, and kept hoping that he realized
that I was happily married and had no interest in him other than friendship.
I remember walking into a shop where a guy specialized in airbrushing or
painting t-shirts on request. The guy I was with pulled out a picture
of a sports car and asked the shop owner to make him a t-shirt with the
car on it. (I thought that was kind of tacky.) So the guy started
painting on the shirt, and it was fascinating to watch him work.
Some other guy was in the store and he started saying to me that my friend
looked like someone on tv: "you know who". I said, "You mean from
"News Radio"?" although I meant "Suddenly Susan". Then we were walking
around again and my friend said, "Now let's go get a sandwich. It's
time for a snack," and I thought, "We just ate!" So he bought himself
a sandwich and ate it. Then we were driving around and we ended up
at the parking lot of my last job. My friend got out of the car and
disappeared. Then I noticed a co-worker/friend of mine walking
to his car, which was a large, early-model convertible. He got into
the car, backed up, and drove off.
