New Beginnings

Last night I dreamed of giving birth. I was not in a hospital room, but in a warm, comforting place, in a room surrounded by people. There was no physical baby; I had given birth to something completely intangible, something that I couldn't see or hear or touch. Even though it wasn't a physical "thing", I still had the sensation of something having been removed from my body.

In this room, after the birth was over, I looked around to see that I was surrounded by women, all of whom were bustling about to care for me. I laid on a cot and was wrapped lovingly in a blanket, examined, reassured and comforted. I remember feeling both confused and lost, yet comforted and loved at exactly the same time.

I woke up with a smile on my face, knowing that this was a good omen, a sign of my new beginning.

I am going to be okay.
