I dig Sandman comics. Neil Gaiman, the author, has influenced me so that I listen more closely to what my dreams say. I have developed an intimate, no pun intended, relationship with dreams, since they offer me a second life, where I can bend or even make the rules. I live two lives: one while awake and one while asleep. Dreams are very special to me.

I told one of my friends that I had a dream in which we had sex. Knowing her, I thought she would take it lightly, since she's been very open to me, and since she is not one to contain a thought if it entered her mind. She took it lightly, as I expected, for a few seconds... She then turned to face me and asked me if I meant anything by telling her that, if I was going anywhere with the comment. I froze for a moment, and I told her that I didn't mean anything by it. And she let the conversation go, and quickly we talked about other things. However, I can't help but think she could see my face blush when she asked. I felt my face burn with heat from being put on the spot like that. But I got my nerves down.
I would have never asked my friend like that if I had wanted to actually have sex or if I had wanted to start some sort of relationship. It's not because I'm so consumed by having this reserved behavior or anything. I live life and take chances, but I take chances that need to be taken. Furthermore, I don't think that would be a good way of asking for sex (as if there were a proper way to ask).
Thanks for dropping by my blog. You are right about the storms.
ReplyDeleteI feel you on the dreams. Being able to control and bend what at that moment is "reality" is a powerful feeling.
