I can't make this post short and sweet - Hubby looked at me like I had grown another head when I told him this one...
I am holding a fat baby covered in sores - or are they patches of eczema - and wearing a light blue onesie. I don't recall ever bathing this baby - next time I need to tend to his sores. We are at a long table with Mark next to me, and a 4 year old Chloe next to him. There are many other people there and we are all seated at long tables. I look over my left shoulder and see a large shape I can't quite figure out - its on a window ledge or window seat. The colors are greens, yellows, browns. I recognize scales and it starts moving. I yell to Mark and he yells to everyone that it's an anaconda. It turns into a giant blue and black fish that swims in air. Everyone is jumping up and screaming. I am holding the baby who is getting really heavy and a lady rushes up to me, thrusting an old Blackberry out to me telling me to call the daycare right next to us while she goes to get help and warn them. Why didn't she just take her phone? I have a hard time remembering the number she is giving me and she repeats it several times. She says to not press the last number until I am ready to call so I don't use up her minutes. The last number is a four. When I do this and call, a former co-worker picks up. I tell her there is a problem at our daycare (so we are all at some sort of daycare) and that I have a baby by the way, and he sure is heavy. I am struggling to hold him. She laughs and says she will come right over. I look back towards the building as I am standing outside of it and see a bizarre scene. Everyone is in tattered rags, holding up some sort of animal over their heads with both hands, swaying. (are those fish? otters? seals?) The place looks post-apocalyptic. The building are no more than shacks. The ground is bumpy and covered in weeds. Everyone is wearing tattered brown clothes. The sky is a very weird color - everything looks so lifeless but there are so many people. The dream ends.

Why am I having such vivid dreams?
