I just woke up from the most peaceful, comfortable and precious dream. In fact, I really didn't even want to wake up. It seemed I was in charge of taking care of a beautiful baby boy. I don't know if his mother was in the picture or not (it seemed as though she was and maybe we were just taking care of him while she was away). All I know is that a lot of members of my dad's extended family were at my parents' house to see this little bundle of joy. I was physically in tough shape (as if I had just had a baby myself). I was wearing comfy clothes that were disheveled from me wearing them for a day or two. I was exhausted yet happy. Everyone was encouraging me to eat and rest but all I wanted to do was take care of this little guy before he was taken away from me (assumingly by his mother). Some of the relatives were trying to help with the baby by getting him to eat and sleep. He seemed to only be content when I was holding him. I would stroke his back so lovingly and rock back and forth. He would start to drift off to sleep and it was the most beautiful and comforting feeling ever. Boy, did I love this child. I mean really love him. He was so sweet. I think his name may have been Colton. I remember thinking that if his mother didn't come back for him then maybe I can have him (maybe adopting him?). But, at the same time, it didn't feel as though that would even be necessary. He was already mine. I don't know - it was surreal. I woke up so sad that I couldn't be in that dream anymore because it was so nice to have a little baby to take care of. In the half hour since waking I have been crying. I don't even know what the heck is wrong with me - I know this was a dream but the feelings of utter love for this child were so real. Maybe I will have my own "Colton" some day...
Side note: The dream I had before this one I was getting attacked and bitten by lots of different creepy bugs. Man, I must be losing it!! lol :)
