Matters of the Dreamscape...
I may have mentioned it a while back in some thread or another, but I've had what could be called a "terminal crush" on a girl here at school for a while now. Two weekends ago I apparently danced with her for a bit (I blacked out from alcohol consumption, so I don't remember a thing; thus, the "apparently"), and she had a good time. Great. Only when I'm blitzed do I have the sack to approach her.
Anywhoo, the other day her Little Sis (familial hierarchies of a sorority... bleh) imparted to me some earth-shattering information: she dreamed about me.
It may go without saying that my best friend and I jumped around hugging and shouting for a good three minutes, giddy as schoolgirls told they could be cheerleaders.
After the celebration, we sat down to discuss. I contend that dreams are inconsequential; we don't know where they come from, much less what impulses control them. It could very well be that the shirt I was wearing the day before struck her in some manner, and thus she had a dream about the shirt, and I just happened to be wearing it.
He holds that dreams can be very valuable in mapping a personality, and that by showing up in her dreams, it shows that I had been on her mind, her emotional radar, so to speak. He backs this up with what she told her Little Sis; not "I had the weirdest dream," not "I dreamed about a party," or some such, but rather "I dreamed about Quinn."
I could probably dissect the situation in a heart beat, were it not for the fact that it has deep personal relevance. For this reason my analysis tends to be on the cautious side...
What do you folks think? Should I take that as a cue to approach her when not blazingly inebriated, or should I accept it as mere happenstance?
