real life

Do you ever have the experience of dreaming about someone you care about...and in the dream you share a really personal moment;  honest sharing, intense emotion, or a hug?  and then you see that person the next day and you are a little self-conscious because that moment that connected you felt so real?  Maybe you even wonder if they dreamed it too...

 

 

I saw her today

and blushed without warning

I needn't feel embarrassed

I dreamt of her last night

and in the dream

she wept

sobbed

and fell into my arms

with limitless trust

her body trembling

with sorrow

 

I woke up feeling

raw

vulnerable

in that dream-moment

we were soul-to-soul

connected

 

when I saw her

in real life

she was composed

as usual

boundaries intact

our usual polite distance

 

yet without thinking

I reached out

and hugged her

 

for a moment

she let go

with a deep sigh

let herself be

embraced

 

for a moment

we were dreaming again
