that is indeed an interesting question. in this case, the dream has its roots in having recently had a conversation with someone about how i've started feeling ye olde biological clock ticking. while a couple of years ago kids gave me the willies and i couldn't begin to imagine actually wanting one of my own (although i knew i would eventually), i've now reached the point where i look at babies and think "aw" instead of "ick"... i do know that i want to procreate at some point, like maybe after buying a house and making a lifetime commitment to the father-to-be, heh. i'm not exactly sure why my subconscious would decide it wanted to jump the gun.
