Wedding nightmare turned blessing

The night before last, I dreamt that it was my wedding day. I had a jolly good time relaxing in the hotel room with my girls. I suddenly thought to ask "what time is it?" and was shocked to find that it was 4pm. The ceremony was suppose to start at 3pm and no one thought to tell me to get ready?!

Not only was I late, after a fury of chaos, I found that I had no dress. No one could figure out why I didn't have a dress. It wasn't clear whether I didn't buy one or whether it was left at home. There was just shock and lots of running around. The panic of the situation jolted me out of my dream.

So now that I think about the stress I have been feeling recently about things not being as prepared as I'd like, I realize the panic I feel now is nothing compared to the heart attack I had in my dream. Not only did the dream put things in perspective and lower my stress level, it has inexplicably made me extremely excited about the wedding (I'm not one to get excited about anything more than a day in advance). The nightmare turned out to be a pleasant blessing in disguise. =)
