How could I have known my first sexual dream would be a sign? It totally threw me off, seeing as my dreams were typically… non-sexual. But the night before my life took a dramatic turn, my mind concocted a visual and physical experience that unlocked another side of me.
It was almost as if I was preparing myself for what was to come.
I was sitting at our swimming pool with my feet in the water. It was way past midnight and I couldn’t sleep.
“Mind if I join you?” My mother entered the dream space.
“Sure.” I smiled and looked up as she took off her satin robe.
And up to that point, there was nothing strange about the dream. But then I noticed that her one-piece swimsuit was stitched specifically to compliment every curve of her body, which was something I never would have paid attention to.
Then she casually stepped into the pool and started swimming a few lengths.
I watched her cut through the water like a beautiful mermaid, only to pop out and land on my lap with her arms crossing my thighs. Then she stared up at me as she rested her chin on her arms.
