My blogging idol wrote about a crazy dream she had, and that reminds me that I had a dream last night that was marking... Actually, it's not until about an hour after getting up that the thought occured to me that the whole thing was a dream, and had not in fact happened!

I found out last night that a friend of mine (married 7 years) is pregnant (yay her!). In my dream, I received an email saying that she and her husband were killed in a car accident. Then I received another email explaining that in fact it was her husband and her sister's husband who were in the car, so the two sisters were now widows, and my friend just pregnant. I rushed to her house, where she cried on my shoulder (was my pillow damp this morning?)... I think then the dream kind of petered out or faded... but when I woke up this morning, I was so convinced that it was real, and that it was in fact old news. I only registered surprise when I realised that the only real part was that she is pregnant... no one crashed, no one died, no one cried!

I think in a way the realistic dreams are the scariest, because we don't seem to even clue in that we were dreaming. On some occasions it took days for the fact to hit that an event I "remembered" was only a dream!

So now, when I relate news, I always try to check in my crazy head whether it's all true, first!
