and this one time…
Dam you subconscious.
All these men I know keep showing up in my dreams, uninvited.
Men I’ve never met who are often well known and/or whom I never think about during the day unless I start dreaming about them and then, I can’t stop thinking about them! This has happened to me since I was a child…but that’s another story.
For a long long time, it was the same guy. Eddie Vedder. He knocked on my dream door while dreaming in London in ’93 and relentlessly, made a couple of lucid
(weird horn sound like there is a ship coming into port in the parking garage in the building next door?)
Violet Beauregard
“Wonka! What is this? The film “Event Horizon?!”
appearances a year til about 2012 when he stopped showing up because some “new guy” was there. …but that’s another story.
Sometimes my night time visitors are men I have known, but on a purely platonic basis. There I am sleeping, minding my own dam business and for fucks sake, suddenly, I wake up in my dream and there is this friend trying to woo me.
and that’s pretty dam easy since I have been celibate for 4 years! but that’s another story…
I’m usually confused and overtaken and before I know it, and then….”off he goes.”
One night Deepak Chopra showed up.
That was awkward.
He said it was for spiritual purposes. …but that’s another story.
Oh God…(eye roll)
(stop kissing me on the lips while I write this James! This is about someone else) hmmm-which is why he probably is kissing me it’s not about him. Oh wait. Now it is…shit!
Where was I?
(dam! I’m in the balcony at the Richmond Theater?!) Dam you BAFTA Celebrating Downton Abbey Dammit Liz Trubridge!
Oh…
My sweet Dutch friend whom I let go of long ago, showed up in my dreams last night.
Stop!
(Bart he won’t leave me alone while I try to reminisce about you or maybe it’s some weird spirit guide that gets off on doing impressions of Sci Fi actors. Waaa.
Jesus!? He keeps kissing me!
and he never speaks to me. Who is this doppleganger?
ok, I’m not rereading the rest of this entry because it’s pointless.
I don’t remember if I was talking to my subconscious or to Bart. That kiss has me distracted.
In that dream, it was just an embrace. Yet it reminded me of the last time, before he flew away across the sea 4 years ago. I could smell your shampoo and the texture of your red jumper.
I don’t understand what you are trying tell me Mr. Subconscious. It’s not like I don’t speak t him almost daily. It’s a known that we have moved on and we know we can never recreate that magic that started in 2010 that eventually faded into reality. I am so grateful for the journey with him. Being around him, made me feel ageless. Being around him made me feel unconditionally loved.
Perhaps I shouldn’t be mad about these dreams I don’t ask for. Maybe I can change my perspective when I wake up from a dream where someone is loving me again because it’s atrial fibrillation on my sad lonely heart. To remember happiness so I know my waking self can still feel it and achieve it.
Oh how I loved taking care of him when I could. I hope I made a difference in his life. I hope he always knows how magical wooing was. I will never ever forget it.
but I can’t help the tears upon waking wishing I could touch what I just felt so deeply.
Sadness is so beautiful sometimes.
Like Anthony and The Johnsons.
It is better than an imaginary love. So much better because you don’t have imagine holding them.
So I guess I’m not mad at the thoughts I think when I’m asleep. I’m just made at physics because you can’t hug a dream back. But I can remember the feel of his red sweater and the smell of his hair.
For the the first time in my life perhaps, I am proud of my unconditional love for him even as he speaks with other women and hopefully someday find a woman that suits him. Someone his age.
Because he deserves to have that for his whole life, not just the part until I pass on.
I hope this makes you feel as snug as a bug in a rug.
Darling, you said you weren’t going to re read this?
Yea right.
…But I didn’t perform any copy editing.
