I love that you are a therapist who works with dreams and a writer to boot. I thought it was a text-book case of plain old anxiety and was surprised at the way the dream just kept going and going! Hadn’t experienced one quite like that before! :-)

As a therapist who works with dreams and as a writer I can relate to your dream—-a classic anxiety dream. Happily anxiety dreams rarely come true.

We had a good laugh over it all. “Thanks, G!” Then, since the baby crib I used for five years with two kids had a total recall (SCARY), the three of us stopped off with my “free crib rebate” and got S and R a brand new crib for their own babe. The weekend was a win-win for all! :-)

Next time, I’ll tag along to keep you company! Just name the time and place!

I appreciate your comments very much! I was rather blown away by that crazy dream; while understandably nervous for the conference, I certainly didn’t realize HOW anxious I’d become!

This was the first time I’d ever been away from my kids in almost five years, so that was another cause of anxiety.

As for the conference itself, it was a wonderful and liberating experience. The last time I’d attended was almost ten years ago, so it was interesting to go back and notice the changes.

I did make my three pitches to two agents and one editor. I’m currently reviewing and implementing some final edits on additional chapters to send to each. I felt relieved that they did request the follow-up work.

Once I send the additional pages, I’ll really be sweating as I wait to hear whether it’s a go or a no.

The most embarrassing thing I did at the conference was fling my iPhone halfway across the room after I was done pitching to the second agent. I was so relieved it was over and happy it went well that I moved too quickly and the darn thing just flew away.

My parents and the childrens’ awesome, blessed babysitter (Allison) took care of the little ones while I was gone, and my sister and brother-in-law came with me to the Hilton to take care of yours truly, lol.

And I laughed when I read this blog because I so relate! I certainly hope your dream wasn’t “Prophetic”. I doubt that it was. :)
