A Dream to Remember

It was a few nights ago when I had this weird, yet incredible dream. Well, I guess it wasn't THAT incredible, but just the same, it's amazing that I still remember a good majority of the experiences that occured in it. Most of the time whenever you have a good dream, you can't remember it by the next morning. But this one was different. Even yesterday, I still recalled a lot of the memories; enough of them for me to jot them down on a piece of paper just in case I ended up forgetting. I figured it would make for an interesting blog, and here we go!

I ended up being with this woman for most of the dream. I don't recall how I met her or our first encounter, but she was with me for awhile. She was very tall, thin, and seemed to be in her 30's. In fact, she looked a lot like the former Today Show weekend anchor Campbell Brown. Now why I was dreaming of her, I haven't a clue seeing she was never a huge favorite of mine. But as the dream progressed, she morphed into this younger woman I knew in college and had some of my English classes with. I considered her to be a very attractive woman whom I would've loved developing a relationship with (but never happened). Anyways, this woman and I were walking to a seemingly endless destination. We walked along desolate roads where tree-upon-tree lined the edges of these roads. Every now and again, a car would pass by but I can't recall any huge significance of these vehicles. However, I remember walking upon these caution lights (the two or four-way blinking kinds) that were randomly placed along the road, but there weren't any intersections or any hazards to mark their significance. They were basically just there in the middle of no where. We treked along and finally reached our "mysterious" destination.

Before the dream progressed too far ahead, another woman came up to me (while the other was away for a moment) and more or less warned me not to continue with this woman. She said she wouldn't wait for me anymore and went along her marry way. She was a blonde; a girl that I once knew in high school and whom I had a HUGE crush on. Eventually I met back with the mysterious girl and we turned around and started walking back in the other direction! I seem to recall us walking along the bike path along the Lake Superior shorline nearest to the highway as we headed northward to the city. And once again, we just kept walking. I don't think we ever got tired out by walking endlessly, either.

Finally, the dream progressed to the last segment (of what I remember, at least). I really had strong feelings for this woman and she felt the same of me. We were at a frat house of some kind (funny, since I've never set foot in one) where a party was going on. But it wasn't a wild, drinking kind of party, but was more low key and people were actually acting intellectual about things. I think people were still drinking, yet they were being responsible. Now when is a party ever like that? I really wanted to make love to this woman and she the same to me, so we snuck into a bedroom - but then I suddenly realized I wasn't ready and needed to go looking for something (the "something" being the item I didn't have in order to be passionate with her - if you get my drift). But, before I headed to the store, I started looking on this large shelving unit, remembering when we were once given these during our ninth grade health class. I couldn't find it and I absolutely could not remember where it was. But I kept looking and looking and looking. It seemed I was looking for hours. Finally, she got fed up of waiting and left me, but not without my anxious pleas for her to stop. She walked out the door and then I woke up.

So there you have it, the dream that still leaves a lasting impression on me. What exactly DOES it mean, to be honest? Is it a sign, a vision, or is it just some random dream? I'm thinking it's the latter. It's not normally something I would write about in a blog, but seeing as how I'd been in a drought for topics as of late, I figured why not. Heck, it would actually make for an interesting short story idea. I'd just have to develop some of the details more. So maybe it's not such a bad idea to remember this dream days after it happened.
