But, can dreams also serve as a telepathic link between two people?
A few weeks ago, I had awakened with an especially vivid one. It involved a female friend of mine who is married and in it, we were shopping together at some giant megastore that appeared to have everything. The primary objective was for me to have her try "awesome" deep dish pizza that this place supposedly sells. In the dream, I was completely nude and told curious passerby that somebody stole my clothes, "don't worry about it" I reassured them. Later on, we ended up having a surprise dinner party together involving some of my relatives and her husband also was there -- holding a ring with a brush on the end of it with the implication that he used it to groom his pubes.
Weird, huh? What gets even weirder is that I haven't seen this married friend of mine in a couple of years -- there continues to exist, some bad blood between her husband and I. But when I woke up with this dream fresh in my mind -- it felt like I had to contact her for some reason. Something was nagging me and I thought maybe, it was her birthday?
So, I wrote her an email for the first time in half a year, and behold! She did indeed have her birthday a few days ago. And what's even stranger, is that she had a dream about me last night also, which she didn't want to go into details about.
At the end of her email, she then said she had to go eat some leftover pizza. Was it deep-dish? I hadn't asked about that :P
Given the circumstances of how infrequently we talk to each other and how we both suddenly had a dream involving the two of us; I was curious to know if there can exist a connection between people while they sleep. Maybe dreaming is like an open playground for one's mind to invite others to participate in? I don't think it's entirely a far fetched idea.
The reason I am inspired to write this post today, is that I had another dream last evening. In it, this friend of mine struck up a conversation about wanting to do things on her own, such as going on a trip someplace. This was taking place on my bed, we were both fully clothed and she had a tight, white v-neck shirt on. Then she crouches towards me and mentions wanting to get breast implants. I'm keeping this calm, unaffected demeanour and indicated her chest with a nod of my chin.
"what's wrong with those?"
Then she sidles her face closer to me, whispering all the while and our lips meet. We kiss, no tongue and that's when I woke up.
I'm like FUUUUUUU!!! It was a powerful moment but it also felt like a very defining one for me to have. Because, I had the sense of holding back. She was married after all -- and there was a sneaking suspicion, that perhaps on some "telepathic" level, that she wanted us to have sex through this dream.
Which I refused, on the grounds that she is married. I wouldn't allow her to even subconsciously cheat on her husband, as lame as that sounds.
So now, with these two revelations out of the way -- I'm considering the idea of sending her an email asking if she dreamed of anything last night. There's a chance she's already forgotten whatever it was, and there's a chance that my telepathy theory is incorrect.
But there's also a chance, that she dreamed of me and that is something I'm keenly interested in finding out.
Except.. sending her an email like that, is probably going to have her question my sanity if I'm off the mark with it. Well, *makes swishing sound* off it goes, regardless.
I've got a date with a gal named Ashley tonight for us to watch Insidious. Hopefully that goes better than it did with Deanna last weekend -- while we had chemistry, she was way too mature for my tastes. Ashley is ten years younger than her.
The search continues.
