Dreamgirl

The other night I had a dream, a good dream. From what I could derive from it...i was traveling. I didn't know what my destination was or why I was heading there, but what I did know was I was determined to get there and I will make it. I had a few bags but they were large, larger than I would normally like to carry on a long journey. Goes to show what situation I was in since I'm already doing something I wouldn't normally do. From the looks of it, it seems as if I hitch hiking across a great distance. Was I crossing the United States, or maybe one state or two? Was I going away from home, or towards it? The most important question was “why?” Why was I on this journey? To this moment all of these questions remain unanswered. However I can make general theories about the purpose of my trip.

During the journey I was picked up by this girl who assists me for what I assume is the final stretch of my trip. During the ride we talk, but in my dream it played out like a montage with no dialog. Just images of us...connecting. Talking, laughing etc. You can see it in our eyes that we truly enjoyed each others' company. And you can also see that we were also connecting on a much deeper level.

The dream ended with her dropping me off at a bus stop (or station I don't remember) and me readjusting my bags while a bus approached.

When the dream ended I wondered if the reason why I was on this trek was to...find her. And if it was to find “her,” why did I let her go so easily? Was this a foresight of things to come, or was this a reenactment of things that have already come to pass?

One thing that stuck out was the bus at the end. I was standing there adjusting my bags so that I could carry them more comfortably, but I don't believe that I was actually going to get on the bus. I didn't feel like I was supposed to. I feel that I just happened to be standing at a bus stop and that I was to continue my journey in some other fashion.

The main reason for writing all of this is to not lose the major aspects of the dream. I actually had this dream a lot longer than a few days ago, and I've been debating on if I should make it public. After some thinking I felt it best to use this space as a white board to do some analysis on this dream, and get some insight from my peers. To be continued...
