This is not a recent dream, but it has haunted me since the night I had it. No more than a few months (two at most) before my son was conceived, I dreamed of a baby. I had never really had babies in my dreams before. I don't remember most of the dream, I can only remember the end. I was walking down the sidewalk of a strip-mall near my house. All of the stores were closed, but a woman with a stroller was peering into the windows, looking very lost and out-of-touch. She walked away from the stroller, very languid and nonchalant, and I suddenly felt like I needed to see what was in the stroller (I wasn't even sure it was a baby, although I don't know what else it could have been...) so I could make an assessment of the situation. I walked over and peeked inside, and saw a baby boy, looking exactly like the "Madonna and Child" paintings. The halo around his head was gold and red, and almost solid-looking. The baby was so clean and perfect, sleeping with a smile. I just remember getting this rush, a feeling of awe that I can't explain. I picked the baby up (and knew it was a boy for some reason) and held it for a minute or two.

Then I woke up.

This may sound totally made up, but I told my boyfriend and a few friends about it the very next day. I first thought that I had seen a mythical god and that it was a good omen. After the events of the last two years, I still believe it was a good omen, but not the kind of omen that I had originally had in mind.

Has anyone experienced something similar to this? I thought it was pretty cool, and I'm sure some people will feel like I am reading too much into it, but I'd like to believe that some part of me knew that a big change was coming, and was preparing me for it. Thanks to anyone who responds. I am curious to see what others think about this, even if I come off as a complete lunatic. (The best kind of people in this world are the crazy ones, right?)

I do have weird experiences with dreams, not quite like that though.

When I was much younger I had a dream that I was on a bicycle with my brother and a car swerved beside me and hit me right before I woke up. Then, a few days later, it happened. I realized it was happening and actually was able to not get hit. It was quite strange.

Recently, I had a dream my boss and I were locking up. We were talking and then he asked me "did you lock the back door" and so we went and checked. When we did, three or four suspicious scary looking people came up to us right before I woke up. The very NEXT DAY, my Boss and I had stayed over late and he asked me if we had locked up. I told him "Oh my gosh, I just had a dream this happened, there's going to be some people that are going to hurt us". Much to my surprise (since I have anxiety and always think the worst) we locked up but no one was there. Then, there were some lights left on. We drove over there and he turned them off and came to me and said he saw someone in the bushes. He said he was going to look and I said NO. I said it's too late and something is going to happen. I could feel it. So he actually listened to me and we went home without anything happening but it was very very scary, eerie, and weird.

I also get a lot of "Deja Vu" moments. I know it isn't made up, wishing you the best.
