Background: We were reading 'The Scarlet Letter' in my Lit class so I was doing homework the other night at work. I was getting kind of tired so I decided to see what Netflix had to offer. I decided to watch a documentary of the Nuremberg trial. Basically, it was on the Nazi leaders who had to stand trial after WWII. Then I went home and went to bed. Dumb move #1.
The dream: When I fell asleep, I immediately started dreaming about being in Japan during WWII only it was in the present day. I dreamed that I was trying to get back to the States but couldn't get past the Nazis. I couldn't open my mouth or they're know I was an American. I stumbled across a refuge camp for pregnant Japanese women and took refuge in it. I had to pretend to be pregnant or they would kill me. Eventually, I realized that I had to get pregnant.
The soliders moved us across Asia and Europe because our ultimate destination was Los Angeles. Don't ask me why we moved west instead of east or why pregnant Japanese women were trying to get to California. Anyways, we came across a camp of American soliders and afterwards I was pregnant. Weird, I know. And no, I don't remember the act. Get your mind out of the gutter! All I know is that it was a guy I had known at home and dreamed up just for this dream.
Seven years later (people who have read 'The Scarlet Letter' will understand the significance of that), I was at home in Denver with a little girl. The solider found me and we sat down to decide if we wanted to get married or not. He wanted to, I wasn't sure about it. That's when I woke up.
