Dream a Little Dream

This morning, Carathy woke up crying because she had a bad dream. When Steven went into her room and asked about her dream, she said that she had dreamt we were all at the beach and when we were packing up to go home I had asked her to carry Arinn. While she was carrying Arinn to the car, they got tangled up in some wire. The rest of us (not sure who all of "us" were) just kept walking and didn't stop to help her so she had to put Arinn down and then run after us, leaving Arinn behind. Thus creating the bad dream.
Steven comforted her and she eventually went back to sleep. Later when I was helping her get ready for school, she told me about her dream and how much she hated being left behind and that it was even scarier to leave Arinn behind. I started to empathize with her when she interrupted me and said, "Mom, that dream was scary but my second dream wasn't!" I asked her what her second dream was about and she said that it started out the same but when she got stuck in the wire, her and a friend hopped on their flying unicorns, caught up to us and used their magical wands to turn us into stone so that we HAD to wait for them. Then she could go back and get Arinn with no problems at all!
I wonder if dreams do come true in lands far, far away.......

Awe...I started to feel sorry for her. What a good big sister she is, knowing that it was hard to leave Arinn behind and that you guys and walked away...Oh I love you guys!
