DREAM

Last night I had a dream......have you ever had one of those dreams where nobody in your current life is even around? You have no children, no husband, no parents or siblings. You are just a person.

I was shopping in Home Depot (yeah, like I would ever do that in real life), and I got lost in the aisles. I ended up finding an employee indoor pool. I walked into the room and steam was rising from the water. I stripped off all of my clothes. I was uninhibited and entered the water and swam naked until I was exhausted.

When I approached the side of the pool, a man was standing there (he looked like an Italian God, of course). He handed me a beautiful white robe....so plush that I thought I might get lost in its fluffiness. He lead me to a table and sat me down.

He held my hand and stared in to my eyes.

He said I was competent and beautiful and intelligent. He said that the light emanating from my body was nearly blinding. He said I was full of love. He said that I wasn't living my life to my full potential. He said that I had many more things to do and I wasting my time.

I then felt my husbands familiar shake. "Wake up tallulah. You need to get the kids ready for school...." and then I drifted back to my dream for a few short minutes.

I told the man that I had to go back to my family. I had responsibilities and pressures and a husband and a life that I SO wanted to ignore for a few more minutes. I told him I felt so good here. I was peaceful and happy and I wanted everyone to feel the same way about me that he did.

He asked me not to go.

I felt the familiar shake. "tallulah! You really need to get up." Bubby said.

So I dragged myself out of bed, tears streaming down my eyes just wanting a few more minutes...just a few more.

You went back to tell him you had to go and not to jump his bones? Damn, girl, what's wrong with you?

I can't say I've had a dream where I didn't know anyone but myself, but my saucy dreams usually involve my soap opera honey. And I sure do recall wishing I could sleep a little longer.

Maybe he was an angel giving you a message from God.

Although I was naked, and this was a very handsome man, there was nothing sexual about the dream! I felt like he was an angel sent down to tell me something or he was some "all knowing being". All very interesting considering I'm not a believer.

I've had those dreams, where everything is just beautiful and perfect and you don't want to leave. I can't say I've ever had one that takes place in a Home Depot, though...!

Ewwwwww...were you dreaming about Fabio?

tallulah said...

Oh Jenn...if I were dreaming about Fabio, there would certainly be nothing sexual about that. I'm right there with you...Ewww...gross!

Fabio was the only thing I didn't like very much in my binge for historical romances when I was 12.

Crap, I thought I was the only person that has this dream!
