Dream - Clone Kyleigh

I dreamed that I was out with my daughter Kyleigh (1 year old) somewhere. I had just gotten home, but it was later than expected, and had already passed Kyleigh's feeding time. She desperately needed a bottle and was very fussy. In the dream, we lived on the top floor of a tall apartment building and there was no elevator. So I was climbing the stairs. My mom came downstairs to meet me, and kept rushing me. I was very aggravated because I was already walking as fast as I could.

A fly of stairs was broken and I had to jump over. I gave Kyleigh to my mom so I could jump over and then take Kyleigh back. After I jumped over, I got distracted by a wooden filing cabinet next to the stairway. Supposedly I thought the formula can was somewhere inside this cabinet. So I kept opening all the cabinet doors and drawers but I couldn't find any formula. My mom got annoyed and told me to hurry upstairs. I gave up on looking for the formula and took Kyleigh over from my mom, and kept walking upstairs until I got back to my apartment and went to the bedroom. My husband started feeding Kyleigh and I went to my computer room.

As I walked into my computer room, I heard Kyleigh's muffled voice. I thought it was weird because she was being fed in the bedroom. I listened harder, and found the source of the voice coming out from the closet in the computer room. I went over to the closet and moved away the clothes that were hung in there. I saw a pile of clothes on the floor and something was moving underneath. I pulled the clothes up, and found Kyleigh lying on the floor under those clothes, with a pacifier stuffed completely inside her mouth. Suddenly I "remembered" that we had cloned Kyleigh when she was very little, and we had "always" had two Kyleighs in the house, but I had not seen one of them for about 2 weeks. So it turned out that this Kyleigh had been in the closet for two weeks.

I picked her up and tried to pick the pacifier out of her mouth. After I got it out, this Kyleigh looked relived. I supposed it was not comfortable with a big pacifier completely stuffed inside her mouth. I held her and patted her gently. I felt really bad because she was ignored and left on the floor in the closet all by herself for two weeks. I walked back to the bedroom with her in my arms. My husband had just finished feeding Kyleigh too. I said, "Look whom I found!" and put this Kyleigh on the bed with that Kyleigh. They crawled towards each other and looked at each other in the eyes.

At first I thought that I was glad we didn't lose the original Kyleigh. Then I started thinking, what if we did lose the original Kyleigh - what if the Kyleigh in the closet was the original and the one my husband just fed was the clone? Then I thought that they were really both "original" because we had been raising both of them since Kyleigh was born, and both Kyleighs had different life experience (obviously one example was that one Kyleigh had the experience of being left in the dark closet for two weeks). So they were more like twins and not one original and one clone.

Anyway it was a weird dream.
