Earliest Dream Memory

This is the oldest, earliest dream I know. It's from when I was about 3 or 4 years old. I lived in Miami at the time.

I'm on a tropical Miami beach at night, it's like a set from Gilligan's Island, with palm trees and a big rock and tropical flowering bushes all around. My mother is there, and my sister, and I think some other little kids. Some other woman is taking us away, and I'm very sad and scared. My mother is letting her, like she's either giving us up, or this is a baby sitter, or something. As we're walking away, I'm crying, and the woman is saying something like "we're going to go to Sunday school every day", and I look back at my mother and she's leaning against a big rock and smiling at me, looking like Ginger from Gilligan's Island, not really worried at all, and not showing any concern for me. Maybe she knows I'll be safe, or maybe she doesn't care, or maybe she knows it's just a baby sitter or a Sunday school teacher.

That's all.
