My Dream Within a Dream

This morning I woke up to Steven leaving for work. I fell back to sleep and dreamed I had a child. The child was just there and it looked like a 3 or 4 month baby with the mobility and alertness of a 1 year old. I remember putting a bunch of mini kisses on it's cheek and the baby would try to copy what I did to me. 


It was really cute. I was in a store/hospital. I remember walking by an isle and thinking, "shoot I don't have a baby carrier yet," but ended up going back and laying down on the hospital bed. Soon my mum came by and held the baby and I apologized that she wasn't there for the birthing (and in that moment I kinda new it was a dream cuz i couldn't remember how i got the baby anyways). Then my brother and sister in law showed up and I realized my mum had disappeared with my baby and I was getting a tad stressed. She came back and Kellie just looked as me and said, "Now you know how I feel." 


During the midst of that dream Steven suddenly reentered the dream and I thought I woke up because I was on a bed and I told him about the dream I had. He smiled at me and said I had babies on my mind apparently. I shoved him and told him I really didn't understand why I had a dream like that. Then I realized Steven was dressed in a gray dress suite with his purple tie on. I thought it was weird that he was going to his work all dressed up. So I felt obligated to point out that he was all dressed up for his job and asked him why he was going dressed like that. He simply said, "Woman, I'll ware whatever i damn well please to work," and stood up to straighten his suit out. I shrugged my shoulders and thought him odd and that he'd be the one who'd have to put up with his co-workers bugging/teasing him.


I also realized that I was dressed in my church clothes. I knew my outfit could get away with being worn to work, I working as some secretary in the dream (though I never made it to work). I thought about changing the skirt to jeans so that way i wasn't too over the top, but never got around to it. 


Then amidst the both of us getting ready to leave for work, I saw people start to enter the building we were in. It became clear that we were at my old job inside my ex-boss's office, sitting on his bed. I felt so embarrassed and confused at how we got there. Like I knew it was his office, but it was way different than I remember. The bed was the only thing that connected it to what it was. Anywho, that was when we got up and started to leave before my ex-boss showed up and found us laying around his office.


I then heard a thump and what sounded like keys on a desk. I opened my eyes and saw Steven gathering up his keys and wallet before heading out for work. I realized he wasn't in his suit anymore and to confirm what I wasn't sure was a dream or not, asked him if I told him about my baby dream. He said no and in that moment I smiled thinking how cool it was to have had a dream in a dream. I filled him in with the quick details of both dreams and he smiled before heading out the door for work.
