A Dream Dreamt Many Years before Daniel’s Birth and One of His Mother’s

Daniel’s name was our favorite before he was born and would probably become his name.  I had to see first before I made that decision.  Little did I know, but my Aunt Elizabeth knew that his name was to be Daniel.  When she was pregnant with my cousin Aaron, she dreamt that dark, curlied hair baby boy was to be born into the family and name Daniel.  Well, my Aunt Elizabeth has beautiful red hair and my Uncle Pat has a lighter color of brown hair so her dream really didn’t fit their family.  Then I go and marry a dark, curly hair man name Michael.  I too have dark, curly hair so it was inevitable that our children would have dark hair with more than likely curls to go with it.  When Daniel was born, he had dark hair with the tuft of curls at the top of his head which he hasn’t lost to this day.  And we named him, Daniel.  My Aunt Elizabeth didn’t tell me this dream of hers until after he arrived.

I too had a dream about his name when I was pregnant.  I dreamt that I had given birth to my baby boy and named his Daniel.  In the dream, I had no idea what he looked like, but I woke thinking that his name was to be Daniel.  Anyone else would have decided that the name of her unborn child would have been decided by such a vivid dream.  Not me though!  I had to see my little boy to know that I had chosen the right name for him.
