Why? And what to do?

Ever have one of those days where you're just going about your day/life, and then you discover something and all of a sudden, in that moment you are flooded with feelings out of nowhere that you can't quite figure out where they came from, or just the 'why' of it all?

It began with this strange dream I vaguely remember having last night. I only remember bits and pieces, but all I can remember is that there was this girl and I trying to get into a car with a baby. It was night time and we were in an abandoned parking lot. A group of guys approached us and basically kidnapped us, mainly because they wanted the baby. I could never figure out why they wanted the baby. All I know is I kept thinking of ways I could trick them or distract their attention to help my friend get her newborn baby back and somehow escape. I had this overriding feeling that I needed to get home, that I was missing out on something by these guys keeping us hostage there. I think we ended up getting the baby and getting out of there unscathed eventually, but still a bizarre dream. I think it's largely due to my friend Carla telling me a sad story about her friend's baby who died when I talked to her on the phone yesterday. That, and I'm going through alot of confusion and changes in my life right now, trying to figure myself out.

Then I also got to thinking this morning about why it is that I'm bothered by finding out a guy I somewhat had liked now seems to have a girlfriend. I can usually think about things differently if I allow myself to analyze a situation from a rational perspective, as a way to make me feel better or what not....but it's not really working in this particular instance. I think a part of me feels indirectly rejected, like there's always another girl better than me that a guy wants. (Obviously, this isn't the first time I have felt this way). I don't know. I'm not depressed or anything, just perplexed as to why I feel so sensitively about it. Maybe I'm just lonely and ready for a positive change in general in my life. I'm working on it.
