I don't know about y'all, but I've had some really bonkers dreams this pregnancy! I'd be game for hearing some of your whoppers.
Here's mine. I'm driving a motorcycle and I break into someone's condo. When I get there the only thing I want to steal is the squatty potty. The person who lives there catches me, so I say "don't you remember bringing me home from the bar last night?" Side note, it was a woman.
I've had 3 dreams so far featuring the squatty potty, and dreamt I gave birth to a cat.
Re: GTKY: weirdest pregnancy dream you've had?
Also, way too many lesbian sex dreams.

My favorite weird dream was an earlier one I had (copying and pasting here because I posted about it a long time ago):
In the dream, we were selling our house (except this house looked nothing like ours in real life) so DH was getting it ready for an open house while I got ready for work. DS was playing with a candy-buffet that DH had set up for the prospective buyers. I tried to take a shower, but all of our soap and shampoo had been replaced with fancy, glass containers and I didn't know which was which. The one that I figured was shampoo had flakes of rosemary in it like bread-dipping oil and I ran out of time to get all of the herbs out of my hair before the first prospective buyer arrived.
The first one I gave birth to a baby that had a full set of teeth and knew sign language. All the doctors and nurses thought it was so amazing, but I was terrified of my own baby and wanted nothing to do with him.
the other one was we just got released from the hospital and SO was carrying the car seat with a cover over it. We stopped to eat dinner at a restaurant and I wanted to get the baby out, only to realize that there was a transformer in the Car seat, not a baby. I asked SO wtf happened to our baby? And he said when he was checking us out of the hospital they asked if we wanted to swap our real baby for a transformer and he agreed. I was livid. I woke up pissed off at him. Poor guy lol
@saladflambe what the heck is with the lesbian sex dreams?! I had one that I was watching all the Victoria's Secret models have sex with each other. I have never in my life been attracted to women, and definitely have no interest in watching them have sex with each other. Especially smokin' hot ones when I feel like a decaying beached whale.
I've gotta stop watching TV before bed.
I've also had a couple of nightmares about giving birth to a toddler who refused to breastfeed. They were weird and creepy and the worst pregnancy nightmares I've had so far, outside of a few recurrent ones in the first trimester involving snakes.

this is is the second dream I've had now that someone has said the words "Colton wants to go to heaven" so it's definitely freaking me out for sure.
My problem this pregnancy is that I've been dreaming out loud. So when I was yelling at DD and DH in my dream, I was actually yelling at them in real life. I do that at least a couple times a week. I'll actually get out of bed sometimes too. DH is getting really annoyed since he has to wake me up and bring me back to reality before he can go back to sleep.
@allisonmunson94 that is definitely creepy! I tend to have a hard time not reading too much into dreams, especially repetitive dreams, but then I look at some of the repetitive dreams I have and realize it is just my crazy brain. It probably just disturbed you the first time you dreamt it enough to be in your subconscious mind and pop back up in another dream!
My dreams aren't weird...they are scary! I've had so many terrorist dreams. Like terrorists outside our house, coming to kill us. I wake up terrified and can't sleep! (They definitely started when Homeland was still on...but they won't go away)

The guard on duty had this laser gun thing that he would point at a board and it would change color when he fired it. When bored, he'd use it to tell us who was going to live/be killed (somehow it was smart enough that the laser's color would refect our status- green for okay, red for no- it wasn't random). The pup and I were the only ones to be chonsen to remain alive.
Also, Downton Abbey was playing on the tv in the background, which was really random.
That is just the most recent. I have a weird mind apparently.
The strangest is one where I randomly have birth to a baby at 28 weeks but was only like 15 weeks in size....But he was fine and breathing and my doctor didn't even want me to go to the hospital. Aaaaand I dropped him by my nightstand. He was fine though. It was super odd.
Two night ago I had the strangest one to date. I gave birth to a little baby girl that was the length of a lemon. She was perfect but small. We had our cat with us at the hospital for some reason. One of the nurses explained to us that sometimes when a cat is very close with its owner and the owner gets pregnant that the cat will in a sense become a guard cat and grow a sort of pouch to help protect the baby ( apparently in this dream world there was nothing really strange about the fact that my baby was mini ) We looked and our cat, Jones, had grown this strange leaf like thing out of her ear with a sticky pouch on it so we stuck the baby in it and wrapped her up. Later on when we tried to get her out she was stuck to the sticky stuff and we had to actually pull the leaf thing off the cat. Then we still couldn't get her off the darn leaf!
I had a dream the other night that I woke up and had these shriveled wing-like appendages sticking out of each side of my belly. They kind of looked like dried and crusty frog legs and were attached just under the surface of my skin. I freaked out and pulled them off. Then, when I delivered my baby he was born without any arms or legs - just 4 little nubs. The doctor told me it was because I pulled off his limbs, and I started crying, not because he didn't have his limbs but because I did that to him. Then I woke up.
Edited because apparently I can't spell this morning.
I have a recurring dream where I forget to breastfeed for the first like 4 days... and all of a sudden I think S#@!, I haven't breastfed yet! I am definitely anxious about breastfeeding and it's so obvious in my dreams! I have also dreamt that my husband and I went to a party and left the baby sitting on a table by himself!
My favorite is probably the dream where we were bringing him home from the hospital, and he looked at my husband and I and said "MAMA! DADA!" hahahaha!!
ETA: OMG! I literally just got an email from my nurse leader saying that the sub we had lined up for my maternity leave (since, oh, SEPTEMBER!) is now the long-term sub for another school in the district because my nurse leader is incompetent and can't find another nurse. So now I have no idea who is covering for me, I have to reorient a totally new nurse, and I have to tell ALL the staff and parents that the person they thought was going to be taking care of their kids isn't going to be and I have no idea who the sub is going to be. I am THIS CLOSE to tearing off my garments and giving some real life one-finger salutes!
Although the dream about breastfeeding a kitten was a wee bit odd.
Now in third trimester, I keep having dreams about DH finding other women hot or cheating on me, specifically one dream, the girl's name was Natalie. It's so funny because we don't even know a Natalie personally. I wake up insanely pissed off from those dreams and huff and puff.
