Dreams gone wild

Now fully into my 10th week of pregnancy, the one symptoms that stands out above all others, is the very vivid dreams I experience nightly. I've always been an active dreamer, but very rarely do I remember the details upon waking.

This past week alone, I dreamt that I slept for 2 days straight (should have been waking up monday but the cell phone said it was Tuesday already). I've been golfing with Ryan Phillippe and Leonardo DiCaprio. I've escaped to a historic mountain resort somewhere in the Rockies with 20 people I've never met before in my life and I've had a dream that I was being attacked by a murderer and 911 couldn't locate my address, so I was forced to kill him myself, with a cleaver..... Obviously the latter being among the strangest dream thus far.

The thing about these dreams is while they are occurring it feels completely real. I can hear myself having conversations and feel the differences in air temperature or if I'm holding something. Its quite the experience.

I've read that this is completely normal during pregnancy, likely due to the increased hormone activity, and its nothing to worry about, so I won't worry. For now ill just rest my head knowing ill be taken to places far away from home where I'll meet plenty of new people. Perhaps in one of these dreams I'll be able to meet my unborn baby :)
