Baby Baby

In an epic, "Well, don't that beat all?!", dream last night, Karen and I decided that each of us should have a baby. Evidently, we could get a great deal on a BOGO do-it-yourself kit, complete with directions on how to obtain sperm (it wasn't included). There were no guarantees that we would both end up pregnant, but we were certainly eager to try! We were able to get the required sperm (name of the potential father is being withheld for privacy and likely embarrassment reasons), and used the trusty turkey baster (also not provided--now I understand why the kits were so cheap!). All we had to do was wait for the results of the pregnancy tests (actually provided!).

Sadly, I woke up before finding out whether we had babies. We were pretty excited, and as so often happens in Dreamland, there were plenty of people, living and dead, who made an appearance--this time to show their support for our "endeavor".

Dreamland really is a magical place--for a few moments, you can once again see those loved ones you thought were gone forever. You can laugh, have an adventure, have great discussions with the deceased, and when you wake up (if you're like me), you feel the pang of loss all over again. But when I leave Dreamland I also smile, because for one moment, we have reconnected, which is such a gift.

Yup, I'll take the Dreamland babies if it means I get to see some special visitors too.
