Mommy & Me Nightmares

So along with all the other classic pregnancy symptoms, I've been having very vivid dreams. Mostly good dreams, but so vivid, I still remember the emotions I'm feeling in the dreams when I wake up. The other night, I had a very upsetting dream (the details of which I still unfortunately remember) and I cried in my dream. The next morning, I vaguely remembered crying and asked the hubs whether or not I had cried in the middle of the night or if I was just dreaming it. Turns out I was sobbing inconsolably, so loudly that I woke him up. He apparently tried to comfort me and then at some point we both fell asleep. I vaguely remember this.

We also think that ESK has been having nightmares. She woke up crying in the middle of the night for a few nights this past week, something she hasn't done in over a year. I doubt nightmares are contagious, but maybe my pregnancy hormones are rubbing off on her. I wonder what her nightmares are like? Maybe her milk sippy cup runs away from her. Or her favorite stuffed animals turn on her? Who knows. Funny to think about though.

i do wonder what their nightmares might be like. i would imagine for N it would involve mommy being out of sight. poor ESK... i hope our kiddies will do okay with traveling this holiday season... does she sleep by herself when traveling? not sure what i should do... we're leaving in couple days... *sigh*
i hope you only have happy dreams from now on.

i don't miss those crazy vivid dreams. i also wonder what the kids have nightmares about. for GMK i'm sure it's food related... like someone is eating her ice cream.

you should write those dreams down and turn them into a story!! i don't mean to be insensitive.. since your dreams make you cry and all. :P

but hopefully esk grows out of her nightmares.. at least for the time being. and hopefully yours are good enough to make good bones of a story.
