Dear FutureMe, OK I want to start with a dream I experienced overnight last night. A very vivid one. I have just woken up a little while ago and want to get this down before I lose it. Wherever I was working was closed down, everyone lost their job and had to get their stuff together, even though it was personal stuff not office stuff. Everyone, I think, got into a van or bus with our belongings plus we were either in /on sleeping bags or blankets on the floor of the vehicle. I decided to get out of the vehicle, not sure if it was my stop or not... before I got off I turned around and the woman behind me whom I evidently knew and had a past relationship with was there. I asked her if I could have a hug before I go. Next I am out on the street with a half filled backpack and a couple of shopping bags...I decide to empty the contents of the bags into the backpack. it was just various things, nothing of importance ,I think. Then I am back at the original office, there are full offices with doors (not cubicles), a man and a woman are organizing things, but my former office is locked and requires a keycard to get into which I no longer have, I ask the people all about all the person items I left there, things like photo albums... OK now the weirdness... when I woke up, not a dream, I recognized that woman I asked for a hug from. I don't mean I can tell you a name or even if I know her in the real world. Yeah, starting to sound a little "Koo Koo" I know. I have seen her in previous dreams over the past 5 years. Actually, I had trouble wondering if I had known her in the waking world, as parts of the previous dreams came back to me but seemed like they were real memories instead of memories of dreams. What I remember is that we were in a relationship, I was very attached to her, more so than her to me, but eventually she moved on, I tried speaking to her and she was nice enough but had no interest in getting together. I was hurt as I had such strong feelings for her. She never explained why we were no longer together. (man, as I type this I am remembering more about the earlier dreams, I can almost see her, so close but it's like there is a fog so I can not make her out). Like I said neither this nor the other dream was the first time she was there... I sat on the edge of the bed trying to seperate the dream from the waking world... asking myself was that previous relationship real and that I was just dreaming of her? It felt as though I should remember our time together as it was something so important to me that now I am dreaming of her again. This dream and the previous ones I find really impact me emotionally. to the core. I feel that I deeply miss this person even though I don't know them and they only seem to exist in the occasional vivid dream. Boy, Edgar Allan Poe would have a field day with this. or maybe Freud? Is this caused by the many years of loneliness or near solitude? Is it a sign of something else? I only know that I am very sad about a relationship that is no more, even though it never existed (at least not in this reality). Wow. LFC EOF
