"I had this dream that I went to see this house that Dave had designed for me and built for me. It was a new home. It had a huge open area in the middle of it, a lot of rock walls, and then other rooms. It was very big and vast. I never actually saw Dave, my husband, who had passed away, but he had designed this house for me. I take that back. He was in the dream, just not prominent. I walked around the house a lot, and at one point my leg had surgery on it and I could hardly put weight on it, so I was kind of laying around in the house. People came and visited."

"4.2.26 I was a newly wed and my new husband carried a solemn expression. We, my new husband and His ex-wife were in a room and it appeared that he was taking in the fact that he was newly married. I had the utmost respect for him because he exuded so much dignity. He had the integrity of a real man. He didn't acknowledge me as his new wife at first, he seemed confused but I was patient. At one time, he was having a conversation with his Ex-wife privately and then he became aware that he had me as his new wife and he was delighted and kissed me. We never consummated the marriage or laid together. Next I was in a church where they were having a program. There were so many people in attendance and I was one of the officials in the background observing. One vsiting ministry got up to sing but they obstructed the view for most to see what was happening on the pulpit and that made me angry. Next, my job was having a picnic and I walked throughout this windy, Hilly park and I couldn't find any of my coworkers so I left. Now, I'm in the train station in New York, trying to get directions and purchasing a ticket to get to my destination. "

"Yesterday, I was talking with everyone I worked with about how I wanted a dog with my husband. Today I had a dream about opening my front door and finding 6 baby dog fetuses that were super tiny but slightly moving and growing before my eyes. I picked up a pug fetus and put it back because I didn’t want the pug - I dislike pug dogs because they are usually bred wrong, etc. I was frantically searching for which dog fetus would turn into a dog I wanted. Somehow I already knew that they would grow into a full puppy very quickly. I had a similar dream about this before, just with cats. The same situation happened - I opened my front door and found four or so baby cats and focused on the orange one. I am actively hoping to adopt another cat or dog soon, so maybe my dream happened because of that?"
