Guest guest Posted November 16, 2004 Report Share Posted November 16, 2004 My experience has been that it isn't at all unusual to have odd dreams about all this -- some of them involving piano keys (and I'll leave the rest of that up to your imagination!) -- it's just that you're worrying about it, and the worry surfaces when your conscious inhibitors are turned off. Dreams do not always come true. Matter of fact, most of these crazy dreams, at least in my experience, do not come true!
