Secret Life of the American Teenager

Every morning after I wake up I do one thing religiously. Tell whoever I'm with what I dreamed about. I have wiked crazy dreams. The problem is I forget them within 24 hours. That is why this page now exists. It will start with the words "Last night" and end with "then I woke up."

Last night I dreamed my mom was hosting a baby shower for me. It was sometime in the distant past. I was a teenage version of myself prego with my high school sweetheart's baby. I was not happy about it. I was embarassed and def did not want to be at that shower. I didn't understand how I could be in the situation I was in as I never did "that" with him. But I was second guessing myself. "Maybe I did? How could I not remember that?" He never showed up in the dream. I felt pretty bad for him/guilty for bringing shame to us. I was avoiding the guests- the old Cedar Valley crowd- and hiding in a room with a lot of food. I felt gross pregnant. I was pretty aware of the fact that there was little person inside of my body. It was a very wierd concept. My mom came to get me to go talk to my guests but I was pretty panicky. I don't remember much else as that was almost 12 hours ago. Then I woke up.
