"I just had an awesome dream about you.." Words on a cell phone screen. An interesting start for a Monday morning. But what kind of dream are we talking about? Was it a romantic dream, an adventurous dream, or something else? Was I her knight in shining armor, or her companion in the jungle? Did we scale a mountain, or walk downtown? Or was it a flashback to the good old days, when we walked the forest hand in hand behind the school? Or was it something more bizarre, her and I in some less friendly setting, locked in combat with the forces of darkness, or with each other?
Besides all that, what was the catalyst for this? Was she thinking of me yesterday? Or did it just come out of the blue, like dreams so often do? "I meant to send you that recipe too..but didn't remember til last night :(" Oh, that explains why I was on her mind. I had almost forgotten about that. She was going to send me a recipe for churros. Those are always tasty. It has been a while since I've had them.
I still wonder about the dream. Was I the hero, or the villain? Maybe part of the supporting cast? Or nothing quite so exciting? Would I have made the headlines, or the tabloids?
"You kept trying to keep my movies in my dream". Ok, what? I don't know why.... ok. Apparently, I wasn't the hero, maybe only a little of the villain. Who knew I would play that role? I wonder what role I'll have in her next dream, and what role she'll have in mine...
"You had a crib in your room". Huh? "It was for your little sister". I give up. Dreams are too strange to try to understand. I don't even have a sister. Maybe this one, like most, was just too much random. But it makes a good story for a Monday morning. Where else do you get things like this? I wish I could remember my dreams the way she does. I would have such stories to tell. But they would make no sense. Especially retold through text messages.
