For the past two nights I've had a dream that its almost like I'm watching, like I'm there but the people their can't see me or I'm watching it on t.v., which is strange because I'm always in my own dreams, but that's besides the dream.

Sunday, the first dream, I was in this very small, crappy, rundown apartment with worn, outdated furniture and kitchen appliances. It was one room, with 2 areas a kitchen and living room area. There was scruffy looking guy in the room who looked like he was in his late twenties, with a mop of greasy, sandy blonde curls, stubble, and brown eyes. There was also a baby in the room, who I'm assuming was a girl because she was in pink and green striped fantel pajamas. She looked about 18-months-old, with blue eyes and short, loose, light, blonde curls. She was leaning over the edge of her play pen, red in the face and screaming bloody murder.

The guy was making her bottle and when it was done he gave it to her. She took it and started to drink it, the crying stopped. He picked her up and took her over to the couch and sat with her on his lap watching Jeopardy, running his hand through her curls. Soon she was asleep and he took her to her crib in the other room. He then came back and continued to watch Jeopardy.

Then Monday, he was sitting on the couch watching basketball. Then the little girl started to cry and he got up and went into the other room and picked her up and began to rock her. Then I woke up.

I'm not really sure if I can do anything with these dreams. I don't really have a plot only this guy and the baby that I assume is his daughter. Do you guys have any ideas?

Thanks- Ainsie

You could have it where he is a single father, taking care of his daughter under poor conditions. You could make a story about what happened to the mother or even why he came to live in such rundown conditions.

Or you could put a suspense type spin on it - he is the father, but he kidnapped the daughter away from the girl's crazy mother, and now they are on the run, hiding from the pyschotic mother, and moving from run-down apartment to run-down apartment.

I really like both ideas. My friend Sydney and I were talking about the dreams and she was like "Her mom is probably crazy!"

I'm probably going to use that.

Thanks, Ainsie
