Dreams can be so weird. Like last week I dreamed I had a possessed baby. Definitely creepy. I also dreamed of a big black spider. Both of these dreams in one night, after weeks of no dreams.
Kristin told me spiders represent money in dreams, which is a little worrisome since the spider in my dream was flying away. Hmmm. My oldest son dreamed of spiders last night. They were in every bedroom, and he couldn't find a place to sleep.
I used to have two similar recurring dreams:
A) I'm delayed at school, and the busses are leaving, or I can't remember which bus is mine and they all leave without me.
B) I'm late for class and either can't get my locker open, can't remember which locker is mine, or can't remember my class schedule.
I haven't had either of those in a long time, but I used to have them often. I also used to dream I was flying out a window--in a good kind of way. That one is long gone too, but I wouldn't mind if it revisited.
Care to share your recurring dreams?
P.S. The book in the photo is the new Dutch version of "Mending Places". The title means "Hanna's Destination" which I hope sounds more poetic in Dutch.

Last week Kevin moved his home improvement store into a new, bigger building. For the past 4 months, he's worked like a dog to transform a huge furniture store into a home improvement showcase. He's worked long hours, handled countless details, and endured many nights of stress.
But last week was the grand opening. All his hard work and sacrifice have paid off, a dream has come to fruition. Our family has missed him as he's poured himself into this new phase, but we knew it was only for a short time and cheered him to the finish line, because that's what families do. We cheer each other on to reach our goals and dreams.
Sometimes we're the ones being cheered, other times, it's our turn to lead the rally. We all need people in our lives to support our dreams. Who are you supporting? Who is cheering you on to the finish line?
