I dreamed of Jaspanelle, Michael and Damian last night. I don't remember all the details, but Damian (Michael and Jaspanelle's baby) was big and healthy and laughing; he seemed to be about 6 mos. old. Their family and mine were hanging out together and she and Michael and Chris and I were all looking out for the children. For example, Damian needed a diaper change and I was there so I did it. Thumbelina wanted a snack, so Jaspanelle fixed her some peanut butter and crackers and some juice.
Then there was something about a talent show and I had to play my harp and sing a Commodores song, with my two friends Ichabod and TDB. I had forgotten my harp, but TDB had brought it into the auditorium for me. The problem was, I didn't know the song and we hadn't practiced and the auditorium was standing room only.
Want to know what I think the dream means? See, Jaspanelle is the only new mom I know just now, so she symbolized my "Mama" and "Wife" identity. Also, even though she is 10 or 12 years younger than I am, I relate to her in many ways. She is a crafter, a Pagan etc...In my dream she was breastfeeding a healthy happy baby and she had a loving supportive husband.I too have breastfed healthy happy babies and have a loving supportive husband.
Whenever something is about to happen for which I am not sure I'm prepared, I dream of being on stage, not knowing the music, or the lines to the play, the blocking etc... I start my new job this coming Tuesday and, while I am over the moon thrilled to be doing it, I am a little scared too.
I also think it means that I'm going to struggle for balance, but with the support of all those around me, everything will be fine. Even though in my dream TDB and Ichabod made me go on stage by myself and wing it. Which says that even though I will have love and support, it's still ultimately going to be up to me.
Which is a nice microcosmic study of life, don't you think?

How weird! I had a dream last night our downstairs had flooded and a woman with a harp came over to help clean up (she brought her harp too) I wonder if it was you? Not sure what you look like, all I remember about the lady is that she had a mass of curly hair. I should post about my dreams last night too.
I am not sure what your dream means, maybe that you can't (and shouldn't) do everything yourself? That raising a family is also about community?
I do indeed have a mass of curly hair :-) Maybe it was me and we were each other's spirit guides last night.
I don't believe in coincidences but I am always at a loss for meanings. Hehe! I just posted about my dream that may have had you in it.
