Wacky dreams.

I've been having vivid and very eventful dreams lately, another one of those weird things that is said to go with pregnancy.

Last night, I dreamt I was playing poker on a gaming machine, except I wasn't in a casino. I was in my aunt's study, in her house in Kuala Lumpur. Also, it turned out I wasn't gambling with my own money but with one of my brother's! By the end of the night, it seemed like I'd only had huge wins so, excitedly I went downstairs to share the news with my brother. I got to the dining room of my aunt's place which seemed to have turned into some kind of gambling den where everyone was playing cards around the table. I found my brother and happily shared the news with him showing him all the money I'd won, then asked him how much cash there was to start with. He said $60, and I started to count the money in my hand. "But there's only $60 here" I said to him in disbelief. The rest of the family turned their attention to us and started to point the blame on one or two cousins saying they may have taken the money...

I woke up from this dream feeling very much like playing online poker. Funnily enough, I've never played online poker before! Anyway, there's none of that here as any form of gambling, including online gambling sites are banned in the UAE.

I thought I had weird dreams but think you have out done me this time Gypsy Girl.LOL

They say your dreams mean something - maybe you will be coming into some money!

Good job you can't get the "online gambling" there - many people get addicted to it. I read about it all the time in my womans magazines! Definitely something to avoid.

I get the jist of poker but have never played seriously and don't really have any interest! I wouldn't know what to do in a real game - I will stick to playing for matches!

Hope you are ok!

I used to get them when we first moved to Dubai. All that stress! I'm sure your vivid dreams are temporary. Having said that, they're exhausting though, aren't they?

Joy, yes I must have a vivid imagination or something. Yeah, good thing online gambling is banned here. Although I don't think I'd be one to really go for it at the end of the day...

milky marmalade, these dreams are exhausting alright! Instead of waking up feeling refreshed, I feel like I've run a marathon sometimes!!!
