Dreams, in general, are usually gone from my memory when I wake up. In fact I think there are many nights when I don't dream at all; but when I do dream, the dream has to be pretty out-there for me to remember it, or at least have an element that departs greatly from my reality.

---

Name dreams are uncommon for me, though I've had them before. The main names I can remember are feminine: Clarissa (in that dream it was a place, not a person), and the combo Aline Minerva (pronounced ay-leen, with a long-A). Now I have another name I can add to this very small group:

---

Edith

---

Here's the thing, though: I dislike Edith. A lot. I don't even like Edie, and Eden is... eh. I like Edith better than Edna, but that is damning with very faint praise.

---

Yet in this dream, this was the name I had chosen for my daughter. And I loved it! The way it looked, the way it sounded. I think I recall a nagging in the back of my mind during the dream, like a thought asking, "Wait, what the heck? You hate Edith!" But I shut that thought out and marveled at... I think the birth announcement. I forget what I was writing in the dream, but that might've been it. And I was happy! (I can't recall if there was a husband, too; but I think everyone in the dream was happy.) The letters were also very pink and girly in the dream (not unlike magnets I used to see for Erica in souvenir shops), which is not the impression Edith usually imparts on me (red and stern).

---

Then I woke up and wondered, "Well... do I like Edith now?" I returned to the name throughout today and...

---

Nope. Still hate Edith. Don't know what the heck dream-me was thinking.

---

Has this ever happened to anybody else?
