so the consensus in this household is that i'm gonna have a boy. i think so, jesse thinks so, my mom thinks so. i have nothing to go by - it's just that when i *look into the future*, i see a little baby boy.
i know i dipped a little into tae-gyo with my last post. now i'll be talking about tae-mong, which is the korean baby gender dream. koreans swear by these dreams, that they are accurate 100% of the time. it is most often dreamed by the pregnant woman, but those close to her can also have these dreams. certain symbols mean a certain gender. i'm still not 100% sure how one knows when she's had a tae-mong dream... but i'll give some examples.
when my mom was at the end of her pregnancy with my brother, she dreamt that she was walking down a path beside a luscious garden. this garden had cucumbers, eggplants, chili peppers, etc. hanging down from its "trees". this taemong = boy = my brother.
with me, my mom dreamt that someone gave her a ring (and so apparently a ring means a girl).
so as i've said, we're all pretty sure i'm gonna have a boy, but jesse and i've had weird dreams too.
a few weeks back, jesse dreamt of a banana sitting on our kitchen counter. while i thought this meant a boy (because it was a banana), my mom said because it was not hanging from a tree or whatever, it meant a girl.
yesterday, i took a 3-hour nap during which i dreamt someone took my hand and gave me a round fruit (i can't remember if it was an apple or an apple-pear). my mom says that too means girl.
but of course we're not sure if these dreams we've had are even tae-mong dreams. they could be random. i guess we'll find out soon enough!
