This morning I got a text message from a friend:
I saw you in my dreams last night...
weird that i wake up and see that you had called
The phrasing was almost poetic. But stranger still is that this is the 2nd time recently that someone has dreamt of me. I'm always intrigued to find out what my appearances in other peoples' dreams are like. Am I like myself? Totally different?
When people tell me they were talking to me in a dream, or we were walking along a beach, or robbing a pet store, it almost feels like I was there. Some non-corporeal part of me just dropped in to say hello; make an appearance.
Dreams of people can be incredibly potent. I've had dreams of people I know, people I don't know at all, people I've lost touch with, people I never got the chance to get to know.
They all have different effects. Dreams of a friend you haven't spoken to can leave you feeling really good to have spoken to them again, even if just in a dream; or you wake up missing them terribly. I've had dreams of people I don't particularly like, yet in the dream we get along, and I wake up reconsidering my opinion.
Dreams are like coincidences, people downplay them, but they point to the truth.
