Random...

I've been having some crazy prego dreams lately. They say pregnant women have crazy dreams sometimes, so I'm taking that as the reason. Normally, I don't even remember my dreams in the A.M., but maybe with the pregnancy, and all this anxiety I'm feeling lately, my mind has been in a swirl at bedtime.

I've had 2 consecutive dreams about snakes. Weird, I know. Especially since snakes scare me to death! I don't even like looking at pictures of them. Both times, there were snakes loose in my house somehow, and no one was worried about it except for me! The second time, there was one under my bed while I was trying to go to sleep, and I just felt paralyzed with fear it would crawl up and get me!

Of course, these 2 dreams led me to wonder what the heck it meant to be dreaming about snakes. So I did some "research" on the internet. I found several different meanings-a couple I think I could apply to my life at the moment and others that were way out in left field. Freud obviously had his own interpretation, which I'm sure anyone could guess if you know Freud (I'm not going to even go there!) But the 2 interpretations that stood out to me the most were Rebirth and transformation (hello! becoming a mom again, having 2 children instead of 1), and anxiety over change. Snakes can also mean wisdom. I think these dreams I'm having somehow signal to me that although big changes are about to occur, I should find comfort in the fact that I'm (We're) a little more experienced this time around.

Now that I've said it, hopefully no more snakes appear in my dreams tonight!

Oh- since this post was titled "Random", I'm throwing in a pic of the bunk beds I lived in w/ Mariko for 3 (yes, 3) years-in case you didn't believe it!
