Dream: I rarely ever remember my dreams, but this one was vivid.
I remember looking down at my very pregnant belly and realize that the baby I had inside of me was not mine but it was my brothers and his wife's child. My attitude towards that was very matter of fact. I did not seem to be bothered by it. (They actually had their first child a year ago). Then I remember the child falling out of me in the toilet. I picked up the baby and realized it was not alive, had the baby in a towel and my brother walking towards me and I said to him, 'I'm sorry'. Then I woke up. I think I also saw an umbilical chord attached to me and the baby when it came out of me.
