After many weeks of not being able to remember my dreams, I was finally able to remember one of my most recent dreams. I think this was on Sunday (or Monday), but I had a dream about my family putting together a bigger dinner. With Thanksgiving coming up, this makes sense. However, even my sister was there, who is 16 and currently not living under the same roof as the rest of my immediate family (more on that at a later time). Everything was so peaceful and happy, and at some point during this meal preparation, I noticed a baby. Hmm, well, seeing a baby in my family's household is odd because my mother can't and doesn't want to have any more children (nothing wrong with that), I can't afford to have any children at the moment (both literally and emotionally), and there weren't any other guests...period. So, who did this youngster belong too? Yep, my sister. In my dream, my sister had managed to get pregnant, hide this pregnancy from the world, and give birth to this infant.
Now, even though I thought that this was very strange, I can see it happening...
Either this dream is supposed to predict the future of my sister becoming a teenage mother or it might even signal a new beginning for...someone (babies are a symbol for change and new beginnings). If it is a symbol for a new beginning, hopefully my sister will come to her senses again and move back home to Mom (and Dad won't be such a jerk about it), and my family's household can look towards a brighter, happier, more positive and less worrysome future.
And with that, I will end this message and get ready to sleep. I have an early start (4 a.m.) and a long day tomorrow (well, today technically).
So, take care everyone, and I hope that my family and friends are doing well, and as a last note:
Get well soon, Adrienne!

mein geliebtes Biest, wenn Du schon unsere leidesngeschichte erzaehlen musst, kannst Du dann nicht wenigsten andere namen geben und die identitaeten derer betroffenen schützen?
that was quite a dream, Bettina! someone told me once that other people in dreams represent aspects of ourselves, and we have to reflect on what parts of ourselves they represent. that's just one theory though. i won't be at the swamp event this weekend, because i have to work on sunday (my other job, which is as director of the university of iowa youth empowerment academy). i hope it goes well and that the boys (whose mother i emailed and cc'ed you about) can go. on a more academic note, i am concerned that your final project plans aren't more concrete yet. i don't want you to be overwhelmed with too much work at the end of the semester, so try to get me a more concrete plan (especially in terms of the film or films you'll use) this coming week.
take care!!
listen to Adrienne...
