Should I be heading to the MTC?

Do you believe dreams have meaning? Especially re-occurring dreams? What causes re-occurring dreams?

I have one, and I WANT ANSWERS (or maybe not). I have a re-occurring dream about every 6 months. I served a mission in Sweden and since I have been back I dream that I am called to serve again. Not as a couple though, but as a single sister missionary. WHY? I loved my mission and learned tons from it, but it is not time to serve another mission. My real life always plays a part in my dream, like having to tell Noah goodbye to serve, or serving with my sister or something, I just don’t understand why I keep dreaming about it. I believe there is meaning behind them; I am just not sure what the meaning is.

Do you have any ideas on what my dream means? Do you have a re-occurring dream? If so, please share.

Sleep Issues

Noah use to be the BEST sleeper. He would go down around 8 and wake up around 7. Sleep was great! Then I had this brilliant plan to move him into a bed at 20 months because he would not take naps at his Grandma’s house, and his aunt Megan was going to start watching him and I wanted him to take naps on a bed for her. Things started out fine; he would curl up in his ‘big boy bed’ and sleep the night away. Then I don’t know what happened, but he started wanting mom to sit by his bed until he fell asleep and he started waking up at 2 so I could do the same. I slowly made my way out the door so I was sitting by his room, but this was killing up 30 to 45 minutes of the night. I am a working mom and those 2 – 3 hours I have between putting Noah to bed and me getting to bed are like gold. And he was still getting up at night
So last weekend I decided to be a ‘mean mom’ and I put Noah in his bed, shut the door and walked away. As expected he came out after me, I picked him up, didn’t say anything, and carried him back to his bed. After 1 hour and 20 minutes of this Noah tired out and fell asleep on his floor. Since the night Noah only comes out of his room once or twice and as soon as he sees me he runs back in, slams the door and pushes against it so I can’t get in. Then he lies by the door and cries himself to sleep. We are still working to follow the same procedure in the middle of the night (sometimes sleeping on his floor for an hour wins over fighting with him for an hour, hopefully I can do better this weekend when I know I don’t have to be up at 6).
My question to all of you is: have you moved your kids into bed kid beds? Has anyone else experienced problems like this? If so, how did you overcome it?
Right now both Noah and I HATE bed time. He knows I am going to leave him and I know he is going to throw a fit. Will this ever be a win / win situation?
