Dream of Me

Someone once said, ~True love is when the reality of everyday life seems like a dream and every wonderful dream each night is fulfilled in real life.~ If you think about it, when it comes to matters of the heart, its oftentimes set in the same context as having your dreams come true and whether or not you actually believe in that touching sentiment is determined by how many times you've been badly hurt in the past. In any case, it would be say to say that there are people who feel lucky enough to be making the dream of true love an absolute reality as he or she lives it with someone truly special whereas others are instead still dreaming of the day where true love becomes a reality as they hope to be, in a sense, woken up from the restless state of consciousness that one has unfortunately been experiencing for quite some time.

Let me ask you this question, other than the typical celebrity who is the person that invades both your dreams and heart to where you want him or her to be by your side when you wake up? Its that particular person who gives you the most peaceful, as well as, pleasureable of dreams and when I say pleasurable it doesn't necessarily mean its totally erotic in nature. The term I am referring to is one that you simply dream of spending time with that person of interest as you imagine building a life together filled with love, laughs, happiness, tears of joy, kids, and living in the proverbial house with a white picket fence. For its those particular images streaming within your mind that you consider picture perfect to the point where you never want to be woken up, whereby leaving you with a smile within your heart, so to speak, and yet you know you do have to wake up some time.

Without a doubt, dreams can truly become nightmares especially when it pertains to potential and/or significant relationships. Women, more often than not, have in the past lived through the nightmares of meeting guys who were perceived to be the man of their dreams, but would later turn out to be the boogeyman who essentially scared their heart into hiding, in a manner of speaking. It's a sad situation indeed when a person thinks he or she may be living the dream of true love, but behind the facade the qualities you initially fantasized about concerning that person weren't there at all to begin with causing one to cover up their heart within the safe blanket of their own emotions because he/she doesn't want to go through that recurring nightmare that is utter heartbreak, which is an experience that can leave you in a cold sweat just thinking about it.

For the question can be asked, would you rather have the dreams of true love you can always mentally hold on to but were too afraid to make it a reality with someone or would you physically hold true love in your arms giving you the opportunity to experience something so exhilaratingly scary that once you get past the fear you begin to understand/feel how real love is for you? I would probably guess each and every one of you chose the latter because you will eventually learn a hard lesson like many of us have learned before. The particular lesson is that when you spend time chasing after a dream in the form of a guy/girl you end up not only forgetting why you were chasing him/her in the first place, but you also miss out on noticing that you didn't have to chase the dream after all because he/she has been right there all along standing next to you.

In retrospect, it's within our dreams that we feel comfortable enough in expressing how we truly feel not just in a potential relationship, but also in a significant one as well knowing we won't get hurt. We can find solace in the fact that when we close our eyes and see the face of that person the harsh realities of what heartbreak brings to our heart are all left behind. Thinking about it, on any given day we see thousands of faces that come across our path to where they show up in our dreams in some way, shape, or form and yet the questions remains whose face have you been seeing who you've been longing to gently touch with your hands, as well as, softly kiss on the lips? In the end, when you meet someone who is so far beyond your wildest dreams that as you get to know that person on a much deeper level you begin to wonder and ask certain questions such as: does he/she like me? Does he/she think of me? Does he/she dream of me? A song that best reflects this thought is one performed by Kirsten Dunst from the movie Get Over It.
