This was such a random dream, but I wonder why I even had it.Last night I dreamt that I had given birth to a baby boy. The dream didn't feature the birth of this baby boy, instead it had me interacting with my son who was about 2/3 years old. One of the key points of the dream was that I didn't know what to call my son. The names Ryan and Jonathan were the options. In the dream, I didn't like Jonathan because I didn't like the way that it shortened to Jon or Jonny (I don't like these names in real life!). So, I was swayed towards calling my son Ryan. When it came to his middle name, I picked something ethnic and then, when it came to his surname... I had problems!!!!
I wanted to go with a surname beginning with B. In real life, this is the surname of someone I used to see but we don't talk anymore (this is not a pressing problem for me in real life). However, I felt like I couldn't give my son this name because of the fact that me and this person don't communicate.
With that said, I remember there was a point in the dream where it was like I had to go back through my texts to see if the guy whose surname begins with B told me that I had permission to use it, at the time I told him I was pregnant with my son - our son?
The problem was, when I went to look at the text, I was reminded that I didn't know for sure that he was the father of my child at the time I was pregnant. I think it was because I had been with my ex (true in real life). Therefore, the situation had been left hanging before I gave birth.
Therefore, it was the case that there were potentially two fathers and so, this meant getting a DNA test. However, I didn't want to do this because for some reason I was scared. Even when I made steps towards getting a test in the dream, it ended up being a blood DNA test and this was off putting because giving blood scares me (true in real life).
What I found funny was the fact that when I spoke to my friend about the fact that I wanted to put a father on my son's birth certificate, but didn't know who I should put down... He said that he didn't mind giving my son his surname; because regardless of who the father was, he was going to be around anyway and wanted to be a father figure.
In real life, I have had romantic feelings for my friend which have not been reciprocated. So, now that I am conscious, I think this is quite strange!!!
What a crazy little dream!
Thanks in advance if you think there is anything to make sense of here X
