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.
Pay no attention. I'm just another nobody, yammering about inane things. I enjoy blogging for the typing. I enjoy writing for the movements of a pen[cil]. I am no great mind.
