I've mentioned before that I don't put too much stock in dreams & dream interpretation, but I am sometimes surprised by how powerful the feeling they evoke can be - even after you've been awake for awhile.
Last night I had a dream that featured lots of people from my life, most of whom I have lost touch with for one reason or another. It started out with me sitting on a bench with SG and he turned on a DVD to watch. The voice on it was very familiar and I sat bolt upright to say, "that's Ali!" Just as I did I noticed that Ali was sitting on the next bench, but he wouldn't talk... just smiled.
Then I was at a funeral, an occasion where people you haven't seen for a while all come together. There were all sorts of old friends and acquaintances in the crowd. No one was talking, but I did manage a lot of hugs. At one point I noticed a girl, B, that I knew when I worked at a computer company a decade ago, and I kept trying to get to her - I just had a really overwhelming need to talk to her, but I could never quite get there. It isn't like she was avoiding me, in fact I got the impression she had no idea I was there. She just kept on going about her business, getting herself a dish of food from the buffet table, walking amongst the crowd. In fact, though I know it was her, I was only seeing her from the back the whole time. Strange.
My old friend JJ showed up (you may remember I am trying to lose touch with her) and she was talking. I kept trying to get away and she kept grabbing and gabbing at me - I just had a really overwhelming need to run from her, but she just kept coming. And I just kept trying to reach B - I just knew there was something I needed to say, or she needed to say.
So here it is, several hours later, and I am still feeling an overwhelming pull to talk to her. I just can't imagine why?
UPDATE: 12 hours later and I can't shake the feeling that something is up with her.
