still

I rarely remember dreams. As such, i am curious about them when i do. And this morning i remebered one...

The setup: For seven years i was in love with a wonderful, captivating woman.The last year was a bit tough, as work schedules and interests caused conflicts. She was dealing with some things (that she didn't share with me) that were making her life less fulfilling. So one day, i get a phone call. She's at work. And she leaves me. Over the phone. Seven years. Click. Over? Ouch.

The truth is i still love who she was, and i don't have any resentment toward her (but a little toward the events). Anyway, i haven't actually spoken with her in some time, maybe a year? There is the rare email, and i check in to her blog, because it comforts me to know she is doing OK.

The dream: I'm at a vacation house with lots of friends. But they are all gone, leaving me alone in the house. And through some only-in-a-dream-could-this-happen sequence, i was getting updates about this womans progress in the birth of her twins! A boy and a girl. So i apparently call to congratulate her and her (in reality, boyfriend)... well, the father. And while leaving a message, because this is seconds after the birth so there is no way she'll answer the phone, i realize she has in fact done so and i am speaking directly to her.

The curiousity: Why did i dream this?!?!?!? She left me THREE YEARS ago! And only now i am having dreams about her having twins?

The possible cause: I was at Dante's last night...
