Well, it's been a while

Well, color me embarrassed. All it takes is one little pregnancy and all of a sudden I don't do anything for a month. Seriously, though, I have been so tired. As the first trimester nears an end, I see a light at the end of the tunnel. My energy is slowly returning.

One new thing for this pregnancy is VERY VIVID dreams. My entire adult life I have had a recurring character in my dreams, my high school boyfriend. The dreams are never "adult" or romantic, he's just there. For instance, I'll be on a trip and turn a corner and see him on the sidewalk. I'll say hello and move on. Weird. He makes an appearance in my dreams at least twice a month. I harbor no longing or desire for this person. I haven't even seen or spoken to him in over 10 years. He could be a belly dancer in Berlin for all I know. But, still, he appears.

Maybe it's because things ended so badly with him. Maybe I wish for an opportunity to "run into" him and make things right. I don't know. All I know is I see him, circa 1997 or so, twice a month. He was my first love and I guess he'll always have a home in my subconcious. Maybe one day I really will be on a trip (to Berlin, maybe), turn a corner and see him. If I do, I'll be sure to say I'm sorry so that I can move on to different dreams.

My college boyfriend makes frequent appearances in my dreams also. This makes more sense, since he is sleeping next to me. Lately, I watch him sleep a lot, since I wake up in the middle of the night, wide awake, for an hour or so. Hormones, they are a crazy thing.

So, tell me, do you have recurring dreams or characters in dreams. Are they my high school boyfriend :)
