I dreamed that I woke up in a strange bed. I kept calling for my parents. No one answered me. My sister came in and she called for my parents too. I went outside and saw my mom jogging with another man. When I called her name she kept going. She stopped and said hello but kept running with the other man. Then I saw my dad running with another woman. I called out to him and he waved at me then my mom. I followed my dad and kept calling to him. He asked what was wrong and I said "you are my daddy." He said "no little girl that man over there is your dad." So I dropped down crying. I said I need two people to be my mom and dad. They all gathered around me to see what was wrong...then I started to pinch myself to wake up. |
