Obviously, Liz, you hate your mother.

Sometimes, dreams are just dreams - bits and pieces of experiences thrown together in a pot.

My dreams have themes - travelling and lost or missing the bus, scarves,veils and shawls are elements in most of my dreams. I have dreams that continue next week. The best was that all my female relatives were pregnant. It is the day before Easter and we are shopping for candy in a very elegant store.

All of them go into labor at once and 30+ little Sullivans are born setting a record for the hospital's Maternity Ward.

One sister-in-law has triplets, a pair of twins and a single - not sextuplets. All the babies are healthy but one.

A few weeks later I dreamed it was the babies' first birthday. I couldn't remember all their names and couldn't afford birthday presents. Periodically I visit them at their various homes and have strange interactions - one about apple picking and a bar-b-que.

The last time I saw them, they were about 6. I had travelled to Tibet and brought them back little trinkets which made them very happy. The one baby is severely retarded and has a large birthnmark on her face.

The trip to Tibet is vivid - it is an island with an amusement park.

I used to keep a dream book. Probably should start again. I can find events in my everyday life which provide the fodder for the dreams. I had read about three sisters who all were born on the same day - different years and then gave birth on the same day - a hospital record.

One of a famouse set of sextuplets has a larged birthmark.

Somethimes, I will see something - a near miss car accisdent or a skunk or a snake and know that I will dream about it soon.

Sorry for the ramble. Haven't had my second cup of coffee.
