In the first trimester I had so many vivid dreams (anxiety, I think because of a miscarriage last Spring), so many that I didn't feel like I was sleeping at all. Finally the dreams have quieted down enough that I feel like I actually sleep at night, but I've taken to waking my husband up when I have the sexy dreams- it's worth it to lose the sleep.
I have had dreams about my little girl since I was a teenager. I still remember them, and how she looked at different ages. In one I was going through this broken down old city that was full of children looking for the right little girl and when I finally found her I felt the most amazing sense of relief. I've had this dream again a few times since I got pregnant. I don't know if she is the one that's with me now, but I know that I will find her someday.
I've also had dreams about my children playing with my friend's child, who has Down's. In the dream my son (!) is about five and has surpassed friend's little angel in cognitive/motor skills and looks at me confused because he doesn't want to play with "the baby toys" anymore even though she does. I think that my dreams were preparing me for a pretty likely moment in my life, and challenging me now to think about what to say and what my child will learn. Pretty intense...

Anyway, in the dreams I'm in charge, very sexy and powerful.
