Dream a little dream

So... I've mentioned to a few people that I've been having some strange dreams. Many have been scary, but some just plain weird. This is one of those weird ones... I think it was inspired by the Bradley Birth class discussion on visualization. Our teacher was talking about how she visualized a rose blooming during labor to open her cervix. Later that night, I dreamt I was in labor. I decided to tell if I was progressing by watching Ellie chew her bone. Except this was a HUGE rawhide bone... and Ellie, though chewing away, did not seem to be making any progress. I became more and more upset every time I would see that the bone looked hardly touched, despite all my laboring/Ellie's gnawing. I decided to change tactics and started chanting "Bloom, bloom, bloom" to myself... until I woke up and caught myself actually willing my cervix to open and thinking, "bloom, bloom, bloom". Wide awake I freaked out and started talking to my 27 week fetus... "Stay in, stay in, stay in...".

Good grief.
