So I had this dream...

I often have strange dreams. Some of them are so funny I actually wake myself up laughing out loud while I sleep. Last night I had one that was just plain weird!

It was Christmas and I was at my mother's house. We were getting ready for the family to arrive for the festivities. I was not dressed. I mean, seriously, not dressed. I was just wearing some underpants! And...no one seemed to care, notice OR think that was unusual in any way.

My mother was on the front porch with two huge bundles of fake evergreen garland that was wired together in a big bunch. Then, an ENORMOUS van pulls up in front of the house. Attached to it's side was one of those nylon toddler cozies that people put on the back of their bikes to take their kids out for a nice ride. The van door opened and my niece Tamatha and her husband Ron got out followed by my nephew Don and his little girl, Maddy. Then my other niece, Linda and her husband Josh get out and they're followed by their 15 children. (They don't have 15 children but in the dream they did!) Josh goes over the toddler cozy thingy and opens it. Inside, dressed in a snow suit is my older brother (their father/father-in-law). He is bundled up but freezing and shivering because they have driven to mom's from Illinois and he rode in that thing the whole way.

So, we usher them into the house. (Me...still in only my panties... and again, no ones seems to care.) Just then a huge luxury car pulls into the drive way. I know it's a luxury car because 1. it's huge and 2. it's covered in maroon velvet on the outside. My nephew Chris hops out and goes to the back door. He let's my other niece, Amy, out of the car with her baby, Sophie. Only Sophie isn't a baby. She is about one foot tall, talking and walking, and has bright red curly hair. Sophie runs up the porch steps and into the house. My mother says, "Oh Sophie! Look how cute you are!" To which Sophe answers excitedly, "Yeth, I am adowable! Ithn't Cwithmath exthiting!!"

Just then, the bundles of evergreen garland blow off the porch and my mother tells me to go get them. So, now I'm running and flailing about in her front yard, chasing the garland, in my undies. My mom comes out on the porch with a camera and tells me what a great Christmas photo this will make.

And then I wake up...

I have no idea what this dreams means or why I had it. Just plain weird!!
