DREAMS ARE AN INTERESTING THING.  RE-OCURRING DREAMS ARE EVEN MORE INTERESTING.  NOT EVERYONE HAS THEM ON A REGULAR BASIS, BUT MOST HAVE HAD THE SAME DREAM TWICE AT LEAST ONCE IN THEIR LIFE.  FOR ME, RE-OCURRING DREAMS ARE A NORMAL THING.  I HAVE BEEN HAVING ONE SUCH DREAM FOR 20 YEARS NOW.

IN THIS DREAM, I MEET MY FUTURE HUSBAND AND VERY QUICKLY WE BECOME FRIENDS AND START DATING.  WITH A MATTER OF MONTHS WE ARE ENGAGED AND MARRIED WITHIN SIX MONTHS OF BEING ENGAGED.  JUST A FEW MONTHS LATER I END UP PREGNANT.  AT THE BEGINNING OF THE SECOND TRIMESTER WE FIND OUT I AM HAVING TWINS.  THIS TURNS OUT TO BE TWIN GIRLS WHO ARE IDENTICAL.  JUST AFTER WE CELEBRATE OUR 1ST ANV WE GIVE BIRTH TO THE TWINS.  THE BASIC POINTS OF THIS DREAM HAVE REMAINED THE SAME FOR 20 YRS WITH ONLY MINOR CHANGES.  

SOME SAY THAT RE-OCURRING DREAMS ARE JUST REFLECTING OUR INNER DESIRES.  OTHERS SAY THAT RE-OCURRING DREAMS ARE MORE PROPHETIC AND A WAY OF LETTING US KNOW THE FUTURE.  I HAVE NO IDEA IF THIS IS PROPHETIC OR NOT, BUT I HAVE ALWAYS WANTED TO HAVE TWIN GIRLS.  FROM A VERY YOUNG AGE I WANTED TO GROW UP, GET MARRIED, AND HAVE TWINS.  COME TO FIND OUT, MY MOTHER WANTED TWIN GIRLS ALL HER LIFE TOO.  IS THIS DEEP ROOTED DESIRE TO HAVE TWINS A RESULT OF MY MOTHERS DEEP DESIRE, OR WOULD I HAVE HAD THE SAME DESIRE EVEN IF MY MOTHER HADN’T?  I DO NOT HAVE THE ANSWER TO THAT QUESTION.  

I FEEL THAT MY DESIRE IS NOT LINKED TO MY MOTHER, BUT I WILL NEVER KNOW THE TRUTH.  THIS YEAR IS THE FIRST TIME I TOLD MY MOTHER THAT I HAVE BEEN HAVING THIS SAME DREAM FOR 20 YEARS.  SHE WAS SHOCKED THAT BY THAT, AND AMAZED THAT MY DREAM OF HAVING TWIN GIRLS WAS SO CLOSE TO HER OWN DESIRE AS SHE GREW UP.  IT WASN’T UNTIL I TOLD HER ABOUT MY DREAM THAT SHE TOLD ME SHE HAD ALWAYS WANTED TWIN GIRLS.  I NEVER KNEW THAT GROWING UP.  FOR THIS REASON I FEEL THAT MY DREAM IS MY OWN AND NOT A RESULT OF MY MOTHERS DESIRES. 

REGARDLESS, IT IS INTERESTING THAT TWO GENERATIONS OF WOMEN HAVE SHARED THE SAME DREAM.  I HONESTLY HOPE THAT THE DREAM TURNS OUT TO BE PROPHETIC.  IF THE LATEST VERSON OF THIS DREAM IS TRUE I WILL HAVE MY HANDS FULL WITH AT LEAST TWO PREGNANCIES WHERE MULTIPLES ARE INVOLVED.  THAT COULD JUST BE AN OVER ACTIVE IMAGINATION, BUT ONLY TIME WILL TELL.
