Dreams
29-Apr-06
In dream #1, I was pregnant, and not unhappy about it– I was in my 2nd trimester and talking with friends about stuff.
In dream #2, I was in a poly relationship (I was also an alien of some kind, or a mutant), and one of my spouses and I were about to head off into the stars. My 2 other spouses were staying home. To make things worse, the spouse I was heading off with was new– we barely knew each other, and were trying to build a home without any idea of who we were. “Building a home” was literal– in this type of group marriage in this culture, the spouses bring small wooden modular pieces that represent the house, and put them together. I was upset one morning because my piece didn’t fit with his, and I couldn’t remember where I’d left the piece that did, and he was angry because I obviously didn’t care as much for him as I did for the 2 wives I had when he’d joined us (there was a sense of it being an arranged marriage of some kind in his case). Our other 2 spouses tended to hide away from company. One of them loved to have open roofs– she was an architect who deliberately designed houses with open skies. A bunch of our non-alien friends came over to wish us well on our journey.
In other words: lots of dreams about building home/family nesting.
