Dreaming

I often have weird, disconnected dreams inwhich I'm not the main player or if I am, I feel like I'm watching from a distance. When I do have a dream where I'm center stage, it tends to stick with me, espeically the weirder ones.

Last night I had a dream that I slept in and missed my hair and makeup appointment before my wedding - my wedding of course that happened over 2 1/2 years ago! But of course I didn't know that in my dream. ;-) When I arrived at the church, my brother in law was the one who took me and for some reason or another he was in charge of my shoes and was guarding them with his life. The church of course looked nothing like the church I really got married in. All of my bridesmaids were there getting ready, and only my maid of honor even suggested helping me. I started panicking. I trusted my maid of honor to do my makeup, but who was going to do my hair??? Then I realized all my bridesmaids were putting on this awful pink taffeta dress that I definitely never would have picked out - and all of them were wearing brightly colored bras underneath which were more than obvious - thus more panicking ensued. Someone suggested I call the hair and makeup lady to see if she'd come and help me even though the wedding was only about an hour or so from starting.

Then my brother in law arrives in the dressing room, and for some very odd reason starts insisting that I do HIS makeup - yes, he wanted me to put foundation on his skin because he was afraid he would look bad. I concented only because I didn't know what else to do at this point and I felt my wedding was basically ruined anyway. Then Gabriel woke me up by pinching the inside of my elbow. Thanks kid.
