“Dear Dream Momma, I had a dream last night that my cousin (male, age 21) and I (female, age 22) were fishing in east Tennessee (where I live, but my cousin does not). We were having a great time as we always do when we get together to fish. My cousin cast his line and hooked a baby hippo. It was instant panic as I told him to drop the pole and run like hell, as momma hippo wasn't going to be very happy! We spent the rest of my dream running from these two hippos (that were "coloring book" images of hippos… perfectly light pink and flawless) Every time we thought we were safe, we would see them again and run for our lives. Does my dream mean anything, or do I just have an overactive imagination?
Thanks!”
