Pregnancy Dream

Well now, this one was a strange one lol. But believe it or not, I think I understood it.....

In the dream I was pregnant. I'm not pregnant right now, nor do I plan to be any time soon (I've got two already and I'm currently living alone).  But it was pretty apparent who the father was (the person I've mentioned in the many other dreams I've had within the last few months). I was going into labor, and my mom and him were both there. My mom was driving and he was in the back seat.  Only she was doing a TERRIBLE job of driving. At one point I even said "Just pull over, I'll drive because you can't do it".

Honestly I don't think the dream had ANYTHING to do with the others I've had about him. I think he was just in the background (literally) so the rest of the dream would made sense. The purpose of this dream I think was to emphasize the point out I'm the parent now, or I'm in charge of my own life. It was like the roles were reversed in this dream (I was the responsible parent, she was the irresponsible one).

This is actually the second dream I've had with my parent's roles reversed and them just not being themselves. Just a few weeks ago I had one with my dad being the "teen" and me being the "parent" to him (telling him he shouldn't be throwing a party, even though it was in his own house. I felt somehow in charge).

Oh and if you are wondering why this dream took the form of pregnancy.....I think it has to do with the over all theme of "parenting" and maternal issues.

So now it seems I have some things to ponder since this dream was screaming loud and clear at me, plus it's the second one I've had like it.
