I had a dream last night that I was at some type of outdoor picnic. I was there, and I had 2 kids (i am 22m, single, no kids). They were between the ages of 1 and 4 and they were ugly. why would i dream about having ugly kids?

The purpose of dreams, as far as we understand them, is to process the vast amount of information that comes in through your senses each day whilst you're awake.
On this basis the "meaning" of your dreams is simply that you are making sense of information which previously didn't have a "meaning", for you, because it hadn't been processed so as to fit into your mental maps of the world (all your existing beliefs, ideas, values, etc.).
Given what seems to be going on, it's not really surprising that lots of things appear in your dreams that have nothing to do with what has been happening in your life just before the dream occurs. Things can appear in your dreams that have been part of your memories as far back as you started forming memories - or anytime in between then and now.
Nor do the things in your dreams have to be obviously related to each other. Like I said, dreaming is a process of finding/making meaning, and the brain can draw from anywhere in its huge store of memories in order to carry out that process.
So when, if ever, you happen to notice yourself having what seems like a weird dream in future you can literally rest assured that everything is OK. Your brain is actually doing, with great skill, one of the jobs it was designed to do

Some dreams have meaning. Some reflect our desires and fears. Some are just an interpretation of the information we came across that day.
Our brain needs to consolidate the important new information we learned, and get rid of useless information. Maybe having ugly kids is one of your fears, maybe you saw something similar on TV, or saw ugly kids on the street somewhere, you have to ask yourself that question.
You are the only one who can interpret your own dream in the most correct way possible. Give it some thought.

Dreams are often best interpreted as the subconscious engaging in pure egotism. You may actually be each character you play in your dream. Therefore, you would be the ugly child. Was there something about your own childhood that you find emotionally disturbing?
Of course, most of the time dreams really don't mean much at all.

Don't worry your brain is just projecting an image into your mind.
Before going to sleep try listing to some calming music.
