Dreams for the New Year

I've managed to avoid any particularly disturbing dreams this pregnancy, thankfully.  Of course my dreams are always weird and vivid, but this last one was really bothersome.  On the night of the 30th, first off, I had a really terrible dream about Preston, but I can't share it - just too weird.  Hopefully it never comes back...

In the second dream, I was driving somewhere in a city where there were a bunch of overpasses, like in downtown Chicago or Milwaukee.  I ended up getting stopped for speeding, almost directly under one of the overpasses.  As the cop is writing my ticket, I look up and notice a semi is sliding sideways towards the edge of the bridge, and comes falling off the side.  Everyone is yelling at everyone else to get out of the way, but of course it lands on some people.  The cop lets me go, so I go running over to help people.  As I'm doing that, I realize I'm telling others to "forget that one, that one, and this one," knowing full well they will never make it (it was pretty gruesome).  So I start running towards another person, ready to cover them up with a blanket I had found, when I realized the semi had crashed onto a cart full of mannequin pieces and faces.  So not only were there real bodies lying around, but also fake ones - and fake faces.  Really disturbing. I found one girl who was lying on a couch under the bridge, and asked her if she was okay.  She was alright, so I said I'm come back and check on her.  When I came back a few minutes later, I realize it's a girl I know from Milwaukee, and hadn't realized it the first time.  She was okay, and I hugged her telling her I was glad.  That was basically the end of it.

So last night, I had a weird one that I'm beginning to forget, but it had something to do with airplanes (as my dreams often do), and how I ended up falling out of one.  I asked the guy I was falling with if we were going to die, and he said no, just tuck and roll when you hit the ground.  So I did, and I was fine...

Then all of a sudden I'm climbing a narrow staircase in a house like ours (I've been climbing a lot of stairs in dreams lately), except the stairs kept going like 30 stories.  Each floor was a little apartment just like what our upstairs will hopefully soon look like... so I know where THAT dream was coming from!
