I had a roommate once who had dreams like that -- with BIG HONKING symbols and super-clear messages even thought the imagery was still all heightened and the dream logic and time distortions were present. At least you know you are processing all these emotions. I think it hits the moms harder than the dads, that's seemed to have been the case among friends and family. And when the mom is a sensitive writer type, oy.

Going to email you BUT I can tell you this: a therapist told me that dreams are about the feelig in them, not the symbols. If I were across from you right now, I'd ask you how you felt: anxious, overwhelmed, tired? And we'd take it from there.

If it's any consolation our oldest was not much fun to live with his senior year, but has come home this summer after his first year of college -- and it's been wonderful to have him around. He seems to like us again. And speaking of dreams, had the first one last night that I could remember in forever. I even talked to my husband about it this morning. I was in water trying to get to some calamity that I can't remember -- and my 9 yo son was hanging on to one leg and an alligator chomped down on another.
