Makes me Smile Monday--Dreams

I am a believer in dreams. I don't think that all dreams are true or anything like that but I definately believe that we can have inspiration through dreams (Lehi for example). I also believe that dreams are usually about something that is happening in our lives. Two such dreams: our toilet has been overflowing (well, everything is clogged). The bathtub won't drain and anytime you flush the toilet it wants to overflow. I will be in the living room and hear gurggling and go into the bathroom to find the toilet bubbling. It's kind of freaky. Anyway, last night I dreamt about our toilet overflowing all night long. The other dream that relates to things going on in my life is from college. I was really, really freaked out about my math class and only had that left to pass to graduate. I used to dream all the time the same thing--that I hadn't gone to class all semester because I forgot I was taking Math and the last week I remembered and was freaking out that I was going to fail and not graduate. Loved that dream.

Another dream that didn't have to do with anything I was going through was when I was in college too. I had a dream that my brother Ammon was dying. My mom and dad were taking him to the hospital and I came to see him there and it was really very sad. I called my mom that day and she told me that at 2:00 am they had taken Ammon to the hospital because his shunt was bad. Weird huh? So, I don't know that that was inspiration or anything because it didn't really prompt me to do something other than call my mom but it was interesting none the less.

Mike has dreams where he is the hero all the time. He is usually caught in some fight with bad guys and has to fight them off with weird things like a pencil. Somehow his hero powers win out and we are safe. The first year we were married he would ask me every morning what I dreamt about and I usually couldn't remember but he would spend all breakfast telling me about a great fight he had in his dream.
