Dream
I had a dream last night. It was definitely a mix of elements.
In real life, I have been having steady and generally stress free workload this past week. I still wake up wanting to sleep more but then I know I have to get up and go to work, so I do wish I got a little more rest each night.
In my dream last night, I was dreaming I was traveling with my spouse and some family members such as my brother, his wife and children. We went to a hotel we never been to before, but we had a road trip planned. The hotel was modern and seemed to have a tropical aesthetic. I was with my boyfriend, and we decided to make love. We have been struggling to conceive lately, in real life. But I know I am still young and have time to plan for pregnancy in real life.
So, in my dream, there was this event we went too in the hotel lounge. I met my brother and my nephew there. It might have been a few days after me and my boyfriend made love. But my nephew hugged, me and then all of a sudden, he started to cry when he hugged me. He never did that before, so it was concerning, I was not sure if I accidentally hurt him or pinched him, but then he pointed at my belly and said "baby?".
I was stunned, that my nephew sensed I was pregnant in my dream. I remember it felt so real, like it felt as if it was actually happening in my life. I couldn't believe it.
In my culture, they say children can sense these things. If a woman is pregnant, or they know that something is happening but they cannot explain it. People in my culture also said that babies also pick their parents when they are still in the spirit world, before they are conceived and are brought into this world.
I wonder if my dream is related to this culture belief.
