#1 dream
i don't usually post dreams in my journal,but i thought that this one,being about birth,was auspicious for the first day of a new year,and i'm sharing it in case anyone might have any thoughts on it.
~~~~~~
my new year's dream...
first,someone says i've got not one,but two babies. this seems to not be such good news,since it seems i already have four or so kids...i think i was thinking of my own nuclear family.
then i am presented with two tiny,tiny living creatures who are both missing most of thier bodies.in retrospect,this may have been one body split in two...and it was breathing,and i was concerned for it not to suffer. i don't know what happened. kind of makes me think of those 'twins' that end up as some sort of tissue on the body...twins that get dissolved...supposedly more common than we think.
next,i am presented with a bundle containing baby. part of the blanket is blue,and i am a bit disappointed when i find out my baby is a girl,but soon get over it. first,baby has furrowed brow and is feisty/angry. looks like me! i comment. dark hair. and then i start thinking and saying 'oh,she's sooo cute,thoug isn't she?' (looks like me!) except that she's got a short pixie nose that she didn't get from me. turns out her father is my first big crush when i was 11 or so -- which is rather nice because it reminds me of that wonderful feeling of swoony being-in-loveness that is so addicting. or at least,that we all want more of!
along with a new birth and loving that girl,this is a good omen that i co-parent with someone i feel that way about. a combination of mature deep love and sparks? (which sounds like the ultimate!) oooh,baby!
later on,even better,i run into my old friend kathy.who is appropriately a midwife in 'real life' and she congratulates me on the baby.
overall,a wonderful dream to start off the new year. the beginning part with those tiny malformed babies is a little disturbing,but it just gets better after that. don't know what that means,but perhaps in time i will.
not knowing for sure if the first babies presented to me were actually two or two 'halves',i think of 'triplets'. and triune things are symbolically powerful.
i woke up having been glad i dreamt this dream of new birth and the father of my baby being someone i could swoon over! ha.
the night before i dreamt of hanging out with morrissey and he was being droll and his usual deadpan self (at least his usual public self...who knows what he's really like.) that was fun.
oh,and when i asked in my dream what i should name the baby,the answer was 'cassandra' even though i don't particularly like that name. i think she is a mythological figure,so i think i'll look her up!
EDIT: well,i don't always do what i'm told,bless me! i'm not going to name my dream baby after a prophetess who was not believed...i'm just not into that kind of angst and tragedy,thank you. i'm off to see if there is such a thing as a goddess of 'play'...
EDIT #2,9 jan: so,i found two goddesses of play. most of my google results were about bast (or bastet),the egyptian cat goddess,which always makes me think of the disney flick 'thomasina'. but the name bast doesn't sound good to me. the second one i found is paidia. i like the sound of that,so i hereby christen my new year baby 'paidia',the goddess of play. and now off to play some 'glad games'. (i just watched disney's 'pollyanna' and sure,it's sappy,but i loved it. especially when pollyanna tells the fire and brimstone preacher that her father(who had been a preacher too),had told her that there were 800 verses in the bible that were about gladness! ah,very cool.

My mother thinks it is my spirit guide contacting me (the little girl gave me her name too, which is Story.)
Anyways, your dream does sound nice. Nice to remember that feeling of an old crush huh? :) But sounds like a nice dream of beginnings, perfect for 2005.

Wonder if Cassandra's tale has something for you personally....
