sparkly eiffel

I dreamt that I was in a room with extended family on my dad's side. People I knew, didn't know, uncomfortable familiarity. Too many people in my space wanting this or that. My nephew was there but but a bit younger than now. A baby and couldn't crawl yet. He was in pink pjs though. My high school sweetheart was in a big chair across the room and I wanted to bring the baby too him. The baby seemed so soft and warm and sweet and I wanted JK to experience it. I walked to him and they had just finished feeding him on the floor. The baby was making awkward chewing faces and his nostrils seemed to stretch as he chewed. It seemed normal and I knew once his mouth was clear, the nostrils would go back to normal size. I didn't care and picked him up mid chew. I wanted to share him. It was such a warm cozy feeling though that I don't think it was the baby. It was almost as if I was the warm cozy... and the baby was just a baby.

Then we exchanged some gifts. My dad and step-mom were openning and both received sparkly eiffel tower statues that were about a foot or so high. They seemed to like them.

...

Then I was in a home. There was an older woman there, but a real go getter. She was about to go jogging and walked down the block in her running gear. There was a picket fence she walked by and there was a coat hanging over the edge. She picked it up as if that was normal, and put it on. I wondered if she thought that was ok to leave her things on other people's fences. It didn't feel right.

...

Then I was a woman in a dream. I had a slick black hair in a pony tail and straight bangs. I was wearing a fitted top, belt and a full skirt. I looked very coiffed. I was with a man in the dream who also had dark hair. I kept being called "mommy" in the dream, but it didn't mean a mother. It meant the person you go to, a matriarch of sorts. I didn't know if I was ready for this name. Did I want to be paired with this man, these people and be in charge....
