In my dream I became the mother of 10 newborns. I don't have a clue where they came from. There was nothing about being pregnant or giving birth in this dream and ten seems an unlikely number. All my newborns were lined up in a grid of what I can only describe as cubbyholes if they were turned on their side. At all times throughout the dream, I had one of them in my arms although I would go back to the grid of babies and exchange it for another from time to time. They all had name tags on them. I guess I don't know how else I would have been able to tell them apart.
During this dream, I was at a party to celebrate their births so there were people mingling all around me although none of them were holding any of my babies. There was a sense that my ex-husband was there and I noted a gift from him on the table but he wasn't in a co-parent role and I don't know that I ever actually saw him. I just sensed his presence and remember seeing the car related toy on the gift table that I believed was a toy from his own possessions.
There was only one moment where I saw one of the babies cry and it was the one I was holding in my arms at that moment, so I saw myself soothing the baby as I chatting with a guest at the party. At no point during my dream did I see myself feeding or changing a baby. You would have thought that at some point one (or more likely many) of them would have needed something during the party.
And then I woke up.
