Lately I keep having dreams that I’m pregnant.
They make me sad, because I wake up and realize it was just a dream.
But I cling to them – because in my dreams I’m happy, and content, and so excited that it has finally happened, that my dreams have come true.
I close my eyes and replay them. I try to hold on to the thoughts, the feelings.
I remember them so vividly. Not always the circumstances, but always the feelings.
They feel so real.
The waking life feels less real, sometimes.
i have dreams like that, only about being married. i know the feeling you are talking about.
