Nightmare (don't laugh)

Ki

So I had a dream last night that literally had me waking up in terror.

My husband and I were at the hospital and I ended up having to have a c-section. They wouldn't show me our daughter right away and eventually I fell asleep. I woke up in a hospital room an asked my husband to go get our daughter. He said he would, but cautioned she would not be what I expected but that I would still love her any way.

He left the room and came back a few minutes later being followed by a tiny gold retriever puppy and introduced that as our daughter!

Now we already have two dogs at home. I burst into tears telling him I wanted a real baby, not a puppy. I told him I didn't want her and we couldn't name her the name we had chosen because that was for a human baby and not a dog. My husband kept saying the puppy was our daughter and we would keep her and love her and raise her as our own.

I was completely devastated, asking why they hadn't noticed on the ultrasound that it was a dog! They said these things happen sometimes. I then was calculating when I could get pregnant again, even though I didn't want to because of being so uncomfortable these last months. I felt like all my dreams for my daughter were stolen from me since we had a dog instead.

Has anyone else heard of dreams like this or had one themselves? I was truly devastated!!
