IRRELEVANT AND DISTURBING SURREAL CRAWDAD DREAM
If there was one thing that I think encapsulates the whole experience of pregnancy for me, it would be the Irrelevant and Disturbing Surreal Crawdad Dream. Since conception, my dreamscape has been unusually bizarre, bordering on the demented. One of my baby books told me that I'd be having nonstop dreams about puppies, kittens, and baby bunnies. Really? 'Cuz my dreams are filled with zombie-driven ice trucks that are late for delivery on my kid's birthday, masquerades where people come as themselves, a quest to cure possessed individuals (in this dream, you could tell that people were possessed by how annoying they were) by hitting them on the head with large rocks, and, of course, millions of malformed crawdads with human faces filling up numerous 18-wheeler truck beds.

Nary a bunny nor kitten to be found.

Par for the course during pregnancy? For me, it is.

An irrelevant, disturbing, and surreal scent: red currant, green tea, red musk, Hawaiian ginger, benzoin, vanilla, coriander, squash blossom, and blueberry.

mmm blueberry and red musk.

I have only tested it lightly once so I have to come back to it. But so far it's fruity/berry goodness with the red musk edge I like so much.

Many “tests” later and it's still good. I don't have much more to say about it. It's still fruity/berry goodness with blueberry and red musk up front. Oh and I get the tea now. It's not DORIAN tea thank goodness, because it keeps the scent in check instead of taking over the world.

One of my loves, obviously. Which is great considering how hard it was to get it to come to me. It was forgotten by the lab twice so I got it like two months after everyone else.
