The Train Dream

Every time Mary is pregnant I have more intense dreams. Last night I had a dream about Ben. Mary and I brought him to some sort of amusement park. There was a ride there with a train. The train was not a regular little kids train, but a really big one. He sat in the front of the train, actually on the front (normally where the headlights would be) there was a single seat. The train started and there was steam and all of the noise you would hear from a real steam engine. There were gears moving and hydraulics pumping up and down and everything started off slow and in control. Then all of a sudden everything went wrong. The person who runs the ride started to panic. The train started to go faster and faster. I remember seeing Ben's face and he was so scared. I wanted it to stop. But the train kept going faster and faster, out of control. Then it jumped the tracks and crashed into a heap of twisted metal. When I woke up I was so worried. I could not imagine life without Ben.
