dreamt, not dreamt-up proposal
08.23.06 (9:43 am)   [edit]

Let me preface this by saying the following was a dream:

It started out with a sort-of proposal.  Not with declarations of undying love or a romantic setting, but with something like, "I think we should get married."  Very casual.  I didn't even say, "Yes!"  It was understood that it was very likely, and I visited my family in the Midwest to break the news.  (it jumped right to that- there was no traveling, so I guess it's possible that I was already there, but it didn't feel like it)  My mom was apprehensive at best.  In other words, she didn't approve, but being the nice, quiet woman that she is, she didn't flat-out say, "I'm against this and don't want it to happen."  I was hurt.  Then, our neighbor also talked with me- but with him, it was more of a dialogue- wanting to know what I saw in the guy, where I thought things were going, etc.  He obviously also thought I could do better (or something along those lines).  While I was listening to him, I was trying to figure out his motives.  I respect him and have never disagreed with anythig we've talked about before.  He's the kind of neighbor who shovels your sidewalk for you just 'cause he's thoughtful.  Back to motives- I have dated his son before, so I wondered if he secretly wanted us to get back together (I doubted that).  The dream wrapped up at my hometown church.  There wasn't anything really going on- it was more of just seeing the sanctuary especially, from different angles.  That, and seeing a girl I grew up with whose birthday is on my half-birthday and who has red hair-- in my dream she looked eerily like her older blonde sister.  My dreams don't normally have so many 'real' people in them.  They normally contain false memories and backgrounds of people in them (people I don't know in waking life).

hey!
i love dreams, this one seems confusing though, like i understand it, but if it were me having the dream i think i might be confused. once, i had a dream about my then boyfriend only sometimes he was also his friend, my mom later told me that when you have dreams and mix two men that you are making your perfect man. i told her no, that my boyfriend was perfect. but come later, the reason we roke up was religous issues, his friend and i stand on the same side. creepy huh?

yeah- that makes sense. usually, I don't dream about people I really know, so if I combine them, I'll keep that in mind.
and I think there are some major things that couples need to agree on- the rest you can just live with (sometimes, it's so easy for me to just think I can just compromise- I'm too blinded in love to see the obvious, but there are some things that I need to stand by)

Wow! Someone else that recalls dreams. Very ... few people can recall.
As far as dreaming of strangers, I'm exactly the same way. Very few times do they include people I recognize.

I probably remember my dreams so well because 1)I usually wake up in the middle of or shortly after they happen and 2)I repeat them or process them- holding on for future reference.
and I don't know what's up w/ my sleep-cycles or whatnot, but usually, I'm already awake or close to it by the time my alarm goes off, but lately, I'm in a dead sleep and really have to pull out of it. I'll read up on REM.
