About the time I begin to think that I’ve never had a “recurring” dream. I do…

Oddly enough it always centers around Christmas. Seriously. Ridiculously.

Several months ago I had a dream that I woke up and realized it was Christmas Eve. I hadn’t bought any presents and nothing was decorated. I freaked. To put it lightly. I ran around everywhere and couldn’t find my list, couldn’t find my decorations, and then realized that no one had gone grocery shopping and I would have to do that too.

Last night I had a similar dream. It was Christmas Eve and again, not only had I not done anything for Christmas I was somehow supposed to return 5 tickets to the local drive-in (that was torn down YEARS ago) for $200 to go buy a tree – on Christmas Eve. The people at the drive-in felt very sorry for me. Rowan was with me and it was just… awful!!! Then I remember looking at the trees thinking, “I don’t have enough time to pick a good one!” and then fretting because I thought I had read somewhere that the freshest trees were bought weeks before Christmas. Then I panicked because I went to the tree lot where we always buy our tree – the same one Jake works at and I was upset because he wasn’t working there.

And, just try looking up, “forgets to decorate for Christmas” in a dream dictionary!!!

Ugh.
