Adoption Dream

I'm having lots of vivid dreams lately. Maybe it's the jet lag. As I was writing about the dream in my last post, I remembered a dream I had had the night before. This time it was an adoption dream.

In the dream I was at a gathering in a children's home. The scene was very similar to a birthday party at a children's home in Cebu that Andrey and I went to just before we started the adoption process. We were gathered with many others sitting at a long table. Then someone came in and told us that we'd been matched with two children. Immediately Andrey and I looked at each other, overcome with joy at the realization that we were getting siblings like we'd hoped. We were so excited! We didn't expect that we'd meet them right away but in the next instant two small children were brought to us. One child was a girl who looked to be about three or four years old. The other child was a boy, younger than the girl but I'm not sure how old because I didn't get a good look at him. The reason for this was because as soon as the little girl was brought into the room, she immediately ran to me and crawled up in my lap. Her face was smiling and bright. I was delighted at this! She was so tiny and seemed to be very malnourished. Then we were told that she was actually six years old. I thought to myself, Wait! I asked for a child under 4! But I felt such love for the child that I decided I was willing to consider it and wondered if this was really what the Lord had for us.

The best part of the pregnancy and adoption dreams was a common element in both: an immense feeling of joy. Ecstatic joy. Excited happy delight. The feeling was so similar in each of the dreams.

Who knows what they mean but I find dreams like these significant in some way and like to record them. Anyone gifted in dream interpretration?
