Help Me, Doctor Freud!

It would appear, Doctor, I’m doomed to nine months of dreams which, while not nightmarish, are also not particularly pleasant. What perplexes me is, I can’t seem to discern any meaning in them, no relevance to my real life. In my latest dream, for example, which left me feeling decidedly angry and frustrated, I happened to be doing things that would never happen in real life, and I was hoping you could help me discover what it all means.

For one thing, I was holidaying at a fancy tropical resort, when in reality I’m working full time while gestating my third child under four. Secondly, I looked fabulous in a bikini although I’ve never been able to do justice to one in real life. Lastly, I was repeatedly slapping my mother-in-law. What can it possibly signify?

Oh…I’m sorry Sigmund, my mistake. It seems your psychoanalytical services are not required after all.

hehehe.
It's so great when people don't need professional help.

Yep, I don't think there is a lot of subtext in that one, just text!

My dreams often mirror my real life wishes too.

I had a creepy dream last night. I was sitting and talking with my childhood best friend and his parents. Then I remembered that his dad died 2 years ago from a brain tumor, and concluded that I was hallucinating. I kept trying to make him go away with my mind, but he wouldn't disappear.

I have some weird dreams.

You should not place any significance in dreams - unless they are sexy and involve me - I happen to find pregnant women adorable... *sighs*

Hey Jan - the jury's still out on whether I need professional help or not. I think I'm one of those cleverly-concealed functioning weirdos.

Littlesnoring - I've never been one for inscrutability, apparently not even in my dreams :)

River - At least we can live out our fantasies while we sleep...

Diesel - maybe it was a message from BEYOND THE GRAVE! Wooo...

Hello Mutley - yeah, I find waddling and involuntary grunting whenever I sit or stand really turns guys on ;)
