sometimes my dreams turn real. the most startling one remains dreaming of the death of my parents' friend's mother, a woman i could only vaguely recall and haven't seen since i was a child. she died a couple weeks after i dreamt her death.
i found out last night that my dearest friend is 4.5 months pregnant and i am sworn to secrecy for the time being.
a few weeks ago i dreamt she had a son. there were many details in the dream that are murky now -- she was experiencing a lot of anxiety; i was deeply sad because i always pictured us living close to one another and in the dream i could not get to her until the baby was 6 weeks(?) months(?) old; during my dream visit there were job and childcare related woes. despite this the overall feeling of the dream landscape was one of joy. i almost text her when i woke up and now really wish i did!
she is so happy! i am so happy for her and d. this is probably the closest i will ever come to being an aunt.
