Yogagirl I wish you hadn’t put that idea in my head. There are twins in my family. I’ll be afraid to sleep tonight!

I often have bizarre dreams when I go back to sleep after a spell awake overnight. But that was the worst yet. I was very relieved when I woke up ?

How funny grin

I dreamt 2 nights ago, I was in a circle of friends, there were twins and then it turned out there were another 2/3 sets of them, all identical, with long straight auburn hair.
Wonder what that means confused

Grannynannywanny, when I saw the title of the thread, I thought it was a scam post! However, I was intrigued and had to read it! ?

? I dreamt I had a baby in my 60s. Glad it was only a dream!

That was a dilemma facing me overnight! I had crazy vivid dream where I’d just left my GP surgery after being told I was pregnant. I accepted the news and didn’t question if it was possible for a celibate 66 yr old to become pregnant. I went straight to the practicalities such as how would my AC and GC react to the news. How could I afford to provide for a baby when it’s already difficult to make ends meet with my state pension?

In the dream I retreated to my Mum’s house for advice. She died nearly 20 years ago and I rarely dream about her so it was lovely to see her. She took the news surprisingly well.

Eventually I began to question if my GP could be mistaken and I frantically began to google “is it possible for a 66 yr old post menopausal woman to be pregnant” Thankfully, I managed to wake at that point. When I woke I actually had my phone in my hand, I must have reached to the bedside and lifted it while still asleep.

That’ll be the last time I’ll have brie and crackers for a bedtime snack!
