The Dream

A couple months back I had ordered a book from Amazon called

The Fertile Female. Throughout the book are some exercises that 

are meant to help you learn more about yourself and your IF struggles. 

By learning more about yourself and where you come from, you can

learn more about what steps to take next on your journey. 

To be honest when I first go the book I did the exercises every day, 

but eventually I got a little bit slack. The one exercise I continue to 

do is recording my dreams. Each morning when I wake up, after 

taking my temperature of course, I write down my dreams. 

Here is one of my favorites, and the one that came in most

vividly:

My husband and I were sitting along the waters edge in Nova Scotia

(where I am from) The ocean in Nova Scotia is wonderfully vast 

and clean, but near the waters edge it can be quite murky, full

of seaweed and large sharp rocks. My husband I were wading in

this dark water when I started to feel something biting at my legs. 

Instantly I thought "LEACHES" and I began to flail about. (yes

I know, there are no leaches in salt water, but what can you do?)

In my panic I was kicking up all the muck from the bottom of the 

ocean and it was getting thicker and harder to move. Somehow we 

managed to swim out of the shallow water towards the deeper, 

clearer part of the ocean. Here I could see the leaches attached to my 

leg and we began to pull them off one by one. I felt so much 

relief once they were gone (and I actually could feel this). Suddenly

we were smiling and together we began to swim further into the

deep water. here, the water was clear, calm and beautiful. We could

see schools of fish swimming all around us, all different kinds

of fish. Off in the distance we could see a lovely looking city, 

the houses were filled with color, when I turned my head again 

I could see a huge school of flying fish jumping out of the water. 

As these rather strange looking flying fish looked down at us, 

they all gaped with surprise to see us. Then, when they splashed 

back into the water I woke up. 

Although the book tells us to examine all animals and 

objects in the dreams and what they represent to us personally, 

without help from the internet. I couldn't help myself, before too 

long I was franticly searching google for every little thing I could

read about fish and what it means when they show up in 

your dream! This is what I found :)
