My mom had a dream two nights before I was born that I was a still birth and her aunt told her that it was her body telling her I was already dead. Needless to say, they're not close!

When I was pregnant with the twins I dreamt that they were born but were both these itty bitty babies that fit in a cup so I would hold them in my hand for a minute and then have to put them back into the cup of water so they wouldn't die. I think the weirdest part for me is always that in my crazy dreams it doesn't seem weird. LOL, I can totally relate!

Terrible/sad things my happen in my dreams, but even though I watch graphic tv/movies (like Bones, etc), my dreams are never graphic like that. Yes -- it's crazy how I can see several fears in the different dreams -- like my worry (only during my first pregnancy) that when I breastfed the baby would get smaller instead of gaining weight. By my other pregnancies, this was no longer a fear, so I never had another dream like that one. And really, I am making a goal to stop reading about those crazy Edwardses.

Sometimes he abandons me, or I catch him unfaithful, or he makes some huge decision (like getting a new job) without even telling me. Then I wake up mad at the real life guy.

I never knew why...there was never any reason for it. Then a few years ago, I was reading that many women feel insecure during the late stages of pg especially. Anthropologists suspect It may have to do with the fact that we needed to "try harder" to hold onto our man when birth is imminent to keep from having to go it alone. Just knowing that it was part of the human condition made it easier for me. Just knowing I am not the only one having dreams of my husband cheating on me helps me to not feel so crazy... :-) Okay, so I get terribly insecure about dh when I am pregnant.

With Tanner it was my death...snakebites, spider bites, tragic car wrecks, you name it and it was always a situation where they asked me whether to save me or save the baby....always chose the baby and woke C up bawling several times because I couldnt bear the thought that he was going to ahve to raise the boys alone.... last year was the worst though, while i was preg with sawyer I must have had 20 dreams of the death of each of the boys....i would wake and go lay down and cuddle them till they would start pushing me away... I think preg should come with warnings of some of those things.... They say those dreams are your fears manifesting themselves for you, and it kinda makes sense. With the first I was terrified of what would happen if I had to do it alone, the second time I was uneasy about possible complications, and was in a scary car wreck and my demise was more prominently on my mind....now i cannot imagine a greater fear than something happening to one of my boys.... Good luck and hope brad doesnt eat any of your babies.
