Dream Man

I took a nap this afternoon. A sweet nap after a morning of folding laundry, hanging in the attic and putting together the September calender.

And I had a dream.

I was in my living room. Standing up and pacing. Clearly upset about something although I cannot now remember what. Pacing.

Around the corner came a man. Tall and lean. Salt and pepper hair. He put his arms around me. I could smell his clean grass scent. Feel the firmness of his arms.

The love and care that poured out from him into me was palpable. Soothing. I felt safe and comforted.

Then like smoke in the wind he was gone and I was awake. Try as I might, I could not fall back asleep. I wanted him back. If only for a moment.

So I am alone again. But my hope is restored. He is out there. We just have to find each other.

I love those kind of dreams but hate waking up afterwards. *sigh* You'll find him. Soon, I hope.

You'll find him, I'm certain...

By the way, I have dreams like that ALL THE TIME about Johnny Depp, but I have to be honest with myself that he's probably not out there pining away for me...;)

Is it weird for me to say he sounds hot?

Because he does.

Also, my hubby dreamed of me the week before we met.

Sorry Ashley, but I'm married (ha). But I'm quite sure you'll find this man who smells of marijuana.

Don't you just hate it when you wake up from a wonderful dream like that?!

I started having dreams like that about being comforted and protected by a wonderful man and then I met my dear! I know he's out there for you, too!!!!!!

Meg said...

Okay, I just had to comment again that Harmonica Man's comment made me crack up at work. Good one!

I think perhaps it's a sign that your heart is open and are ready for love. You know you can feel that way about someone, trust someone..

That's wonderful.

I'm here via Denise... Congratulations!

And I agree with everyone here that a dream like that can only mean that he is out there and not too far away...of course you don't want to throw yourself at every guy who looks like your dream man. hee hee

Best of luck to you in finding your love. He is out there...keep dreaming.
