Not so sweet dreams

I have been having some really really strange dreams. I usually have weird dreams anyway, but this last week takes the cake.
Dream #1: I have a baby girl, I don't know how I got it but I did. I don't have a nursery, clothes, bottles, diapers, nothing. Not that any of that matters because in my dream I can't remember how to take care of a baby.
Dream #2: Riding in a van with my boss as the driver and we're driving the wrong direction on the street and my boss is driving in between cars and taking wrong turns.
Dream #3: I'm a victim of a robbery/hostage. This one was the worst because my all my friends were in it. Sorry friends. Don't worry, I woke up before anything really happened.
Dream #4: My house is on fire.
By now you're wondering what the heck is going on. I don't know!!

Naturally, I looked up the meanings of these dream from Dream Moods Dictionary.
Dream #1: The baby represents innocence, warmth, and new beginnings. Okay, I can see that with the new job and all. It also represents a part of myself that is vulnerable and helpless.
Dream #2: The boss represents the bossy, authoritative side of my own personality. It also reveals self-confidence and assertive aspect of myself. OR it could be over involvement and obsession with work. I don't like the word bossy, maybe "firm" or "delegates" but not bossy.
Dream #3: The robbery represents an identity crisis OR that someone has stolen my success or taken credit for what I've done. The hostage aspect represents being victimized, powerless, OR there is a part of myself that is not fully expressed. Uh oh...
Dream #4: Burning house says that I need to undergo some transformation OR this highlights passion and the love of those around you. I like love. I choose that one.
It cracks me up that there are two alternative translations for dreams. Like there is a better outcome of sorts yet you have no idea what it could possibly be. It's like "Now what?"
Patient: Well, what is it Doctor?
Dr.: Well, Mr. Smith it could be inoperable brain cancer OR it could be nothing.
Patient: Uhhh......?
I don't read in to the dream translations. Every once in a while it's interesting to look them up. I just hope there is an improvement this week. I would like some happy dreams.

Dang, Gina...you need to watch Bambi or My Little Ponies or something before you go to bed every night. The dreamweaver in me thinks that perhaps you are pregnant, your boss is "driving" you crazy by taking you on a ride that you can't control, that you think people are trying to steal your money and your friends, and that you have pyrophobia. How on the money am I? Just call me Joseph.

Here's to sweet dreams for the week!
