Weird dream, again

You ever have one of those dreams that stick with you all the rest of the day, and you can't quite shake the feeling of it? That was this dream, and like always, it qualifies as weird.

I dreamt that I was given an infant. I told everyone that I didn't know how I got it because I didn't remember being pregnant or even HAVING the baby, how could it be mine? But somehow it felt like it was mine. I was trying to decide what to name it, and I had two names (neither of which I can remember) but they weren't any good. They didn't fit.

Then someone came by and said something like "Her name is Wilma. It's short for Wilhelmina." And I told the person that I liked that name, and so that would be her name. I kept panicking that my life was over because she was my responsibility, but then I realized it was all going to be OK.

I woke up from the dream feeling a sense of loss, like I really knew that baby and now it was gone. I looked up what Wilma/Wilhelmina means, and it's mainly German for "determined gaurdian/protector."

Last night Andy and I were chatting about stuff, and he started talking about someone's wife, who's name was "Vilma." And then today I met Josh's friend, who's name is William. Ok, so it's mostly just coincidence. But it's still weird. Ok! That's my sharing moment for today. BACK TO WORK.
