I finally had my first . . . MetaChat dream! →[More:]More than one, actually -->

Mudpuppie, Specklet, shane and I were all at a bar together. Jonmc was tending bar. I had made a bet with mudpuppie that she couldn't guess who had made a comment about her in one of the threads here. I can't remember the comment now, but I did when I first woke up. I had written the comment in the memo line of a check for $20, and told her I'd sign it if she guessed the commenter.

She did, right away - it was paulsc. And the rest of the dream is a little hazy - jonmc making drinks for us, a warm feeling of camraderie and friendship, lots of laughter.

I woke up and thought, YES!, finally I had my MetaChat dream, I'll have to post this tomorrow. Fell back asleep and dreamed about posting this . . .

Then later in the night I dreamed that, for our five year anniversary, I organized some effort to print a MetaChat book with a beautiful hardcover, containing all the posts from those first five years so we'd all have them, forever.

Weird. I can only guess at what the first one might have meant. I think I've been yearning lately for a close friend, a best friend or whatever. We have lots of friends, but most of them are through mrs. tr33, and I wouldn't say I'm particularly close to anyone right now in my life except for her. They're all "hang-out" friends, not close, though I do care for them all.

I guess I've always had a hard time making close friends. The last really close friendship I had (I also dreamed about him last night) ended in a very hurtful way for me, as he just pretty much wrote me out of his life with no real explanation.

But I am glad to have you all. I've been busy at work and home lately, so not around as much, but that's the way it works with me - peaks and valleys.

Anyway, sweet dreams all!
