Why I Probably Shouldn't Take Benadryl At Bedtime

Oh holy cow the dreams I have. So as usual when stress is in the building and I have a lot on my mind sleep doesn't come easy. My mind keeps bouncing back and forth between the what if it works and what if it doesn't work film reels in my head. Then there's the problem of my CD player not working. I listen to instrumental music at night. Kind of a white noise thing. I've been doing it for years and it tends to be difficult to fall asleep when it's all quiet. Chalk that up to all those times my mom told me that someone could come in the night and take me and torture me and maybe even kill me to get me to say bad things about God. So factor in the busy brain, quiet room and itchiness and I decided Benadryl was the way to go. I took my little pink and white pill and after a bit fell asleep and actually slept pretty well. I woke up however to the freakiest dream. I dreamed I had a baby. As in I had went to the hospital and had a baby although I didn't remember the labor or any of that. So I was out of the hospital and BFF was there helping me as I was going to travel somewhere (home I think) and she was coming with me. I was trying to figure out the whole luggage thing as I had way too much of it. So anyways, new baby. Probably 3 days old. I started freaking out though because I knew she was several days old and I couldn't remember if I had ever fed her. I kept trying to breast feed her but she was totally not interested and kept looking away and I'd be trying and then fall asleep and when I would wake up she would be back in the crib I was using in the hotel. So I was scared she wasn't getting enough to eat. Then I remembered well as long as she's pooping and peeing it's all good. But then I realized that I couldn't remember ever changing her diaper. So I went to change her diaper and the bassinet (like a hospital one) had one of those trapeze things over it like an adult hospital bed. I laid her down and started changing her diaper and then the next thing I know she's hanging from her mouth from the trapeze thing. Thankfully this is about where I woke up. Wow, that is just beyond weird. I think I need a nap.

OMG! I'm sorry, but since I have a bit of religious zealot mother, can I say that is messed up?

Crazy dreams! Hopefully you will get pregnant and have lots more crazy dreams.

That truly rivals an acid trip dream...LOL.

That is one seriously crazy dream! I can just imagine the panic though of not knowing whether you've fed or diapered your newborn.

Holy crap- your mother said that to you?

Lets hope your baby doesn't end up being a crazy trapeze artist...

It is amazing the things your subconscious can come up with sometimes!

Yes, I would say a nap is definitely in order!!
