The weirdest dream I've had lately (that I can remember, anyway) was where we adopted a baby girl. Please note, two of those words (adopted and girl) are subject to post-awakening analysis, because no where in the dream was it stated that we adopted the child (who looked like it could have been biologically ours, but there was no memory of pregnancy or earlier months, though oddly an age (9 months) was given), nor was a gender stated (it looked like a girl, so I say girl). We decided to go to the park, and at the park, there was a carousel where we couldn't take the baby. We put her down and started to climb up. It was a carousel in that it had horses and went in circles, but it was like an overlarge staircase too, so we went up and up while talking, then came back down. Once we got back to the bottom, we started walking in the grass. Then we realized we had lost the baby, so we started running. At some point, we must have split up, and I went to a nearby shop, because I thought the shop owner would know where she was. I went inside the shop and started running down the aisles (they were selling wood, by the way; wood sculptures, wood bowls, wood shelving), asking everyone I passed. However, it seemed like it was Babel, as everyone was speaking different languages, none of which I recognized. I got to the front of the store, still looking for the owner, and my grandmother walked in. Now, mind you, my grandmother has been dead for over a year, but she was there, looking like she did at my parents wedding (same outfit, same hairdo, same makeup; she looked very different towards the end) over twenty years ago. I ran to ask her, and she smiled and seemed to think I was saying something happy, but she spoke a different language too.
Then I woke up. It was odd.
