Can you "the secret" labor?

This is the conversation I have been "intentioning" alla The Secret for the past two weeks. Other people will call this dreaming...some of you may laugh your already have children asses off...to those people I say please please please don't wake me from this illusion.

Scene: Doctors Office on Thursday, June 26th at 11am EST
I walk into the office and get big hello's from the receptionists they walk me directly into the very last room which has the best sonogram machine in it. They hand me the paper gown. I change and moments later the doctor knock knock knocks on the door leaving me NO time to consider the fact that I should have lotioned my legs.

The doctor says "how are you doing" and I say "I'm okay, getting to be pretty uncomfortable". She says "lets see how we're doing" - insert part no one ever thinks about - "well let's take a little look on the sonogram to see how big she's measuring. Oh, yes, she's looking big and healthy. 7lbs 4 oz - I know everyone says those are wrong, but I'm not wrong, I'm right don't listen to all those people that tell you first hand how very wrong these things are." And I say "That's EXACTLY what I wanted to hear, thank you for recognizing that I really only want to hear what I want to hear."

The doctor then says "Why don't you get dressed and come into my office". So I get dressed and I go into her office and she says "You ready? Carseats in? Bags are packed? Pedicure done?" and I say "Have not had time for the pedicure yet but doing it on Friday." and she says "oh good, well you're about 2cm dialated now that could mean nothing but I think we're looking at a baby in the next week so I want you to stay close to home when you're alone. Call me if you start to get regular contractions and if your water breaks call right away. You know where you're going in the hospital? Great. Well I can't wait to meet this little princess, get some rest and if I don't hear from you before I will see you in one week." So I say "Do you think you'll hear from me before?" and she says "Yeah, I have a pretty strong hunch" and as I walk out of the doctors office I see the women from my dream all those months ago that insisted that I was having a baby in June.

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. A dream of a good night sleep at this point. Why is nap sleep better quality than night sleep at this point?
