Hormonal Dreams?
When I was pregnant with each of my three children, I experienced vivid and often frightening dreams about the baby, the birth and all kinds of things that could go wrong. This increased dreaming, and even the frightening dreams are actually normal parts of pregnancy and don't mean that something is going to go wrong with the baby or the birth.
A couple of times recently, I have likened the waiting period for my novel to be released, to waiting for a child to be born, and last night, for the first time in that waiting period, I dreamed about the release of my book.
And, oh, what a dream it was! LOL! I dreamed that the book went to the press without my having a chance to take a last look over it and make sure all was well with it. That didn't seem to concern me as much in the dream as I think it would in reality. Finally, the day arrived, and I received a print copy of my book and...OMG! Disaster.
The book had the wrong cover. Some garish, RED monstrosity of a cover with a burning ship depicted. It had the wrong title as well. The title had changed from The Heart Divided to 319 Days. The blurb on the back was for another book entirely and, whilst the story inside the cover was my story, the name of the heroine had changed. I was upset, because?
Well, because I had just spent money on having post cards and all printed and now they were wrong?
LMAO! I think I would have been upset for entirely different reasons in reality.
They say that women who dream of bad deliveries in the third trimester of pregnancy generally have quick and stress free births. Let's hope that this dream about my book augers well of it's release and acceptance by readers.
