Dream Advice

Normally I just enjoy the dreams I have, write them down (or blog 'em) to remember them.
But last night/early morning, seems my unconscious may be trying to tell me something more concrete. I was sitting at a picnic bench with a slew of friends, all telling me I should choose something. Go back to school and do something with my life. Now, awake, I realize that I am doing plenty, with my life, to make me happy. That's the important part. But the night before, I was having a minor/mini panic attack or something. Not sure it could truly be an attack, just a realization. I'm no longer clear of the particular emotions I was experiencing. I was daunted by the prospect of motherhood. I felt like the decision to do it so soon was wrong or weird. I'm only 25. I'm not ready for this, I'm feeling excited and anxious. I know every possible parent out there likely goes through similar doubts and anxieties. But it was as though I had forgotten how wrong it was for me to have decided that I want kids and soon. How did I come to feel like that last night? Now I know it can't precisely be called a panic attack however minor, because I was still falling asleep as I was thinking of how preposterous the notion of me breeding was.
I imagine the dream was brought on by the emotions prior to sleeping.
The emotions were extraordinarily clear, then. I felt overwhelmed at my decision. They were along the lines of "I shouldn't have been married so quickly, I shouldn't be planning to have a baby so quickly, I should be enjoying my 'individual' life far longer." I don't regret getting married. I don't intend to back down from having kids. The emotions just sort of came out of nowhere and I had the urge to record them before I forgot.
I have moments of clarity in both directions it would seem. Extraordinarily happy and good, and so mighty negative moments as well.
