"Jedi don't have nightmares"

[lumy12]

I don't usually post about dreams but this one is bothering me (no, it wasn't a nightmare)

I wish I had written it down the second I woke up from it, it's already faded from my memory so much.

This is the second dream I've had about a man in the past week or so - a man who is not my boyfriend.  The first one was not so vivid though.

I was dropping my car off to get some routine maintenance done on it, and the shop was in the mall.  Yes, I had to drive my car into the mall to get it there.  But of course this was all perfectly normal in the dream.  The guy who wrote up my work order was cute, he had dark hair and glasses.   I felt self-conscious because I looked like crap, I was wearing my glasses myself and hadn't bothered to fix my hair much.  I felt an instant connection to this guy though, and when he smiled at me I even forgot about my hideous appearance.  He was flirting with me.  He asked if someone was picking me up and I said no I would just wait for the car.  He liked that answer, he smiled again and said, "Oh, you can hang out with me!" - which I thought was an odd answer because in the mall there are plenty of places to pass the time besides waiting in the lobby of the repair shop.  I actually had planned on doing some shopping while I was there, but when he said that I lost all desire to go shopping.  I just wanted to be in this man's presence.

He was working, of course, but it was slow.  He had time to sit with me and chat.  I don't remember what we chatted about, at all, but I do remember how comfortable it was.  When he put his arm around me it was like the most natural thing in the world.  I hung out with him until the shop closed, I actually forgot all about my car.  It was so exciting getting to know this new person.  I could tell he was just as into me as I was into him.

Then my Sith soundtrack so rudely went off and woke me up, so I don't know what we did after that.  I tried to doze off and finish the dream but that never really quite works, you know?

There is nobody I'm interested in romantically right now, at all.  (Hayden Christensen doesn't count) Why would I dream this????  I haven't been able to reach A. this week, but I haven't tried too hard either.... I sense that we're reaching some kind of turning point, but I'm still wary of discussing it directly with him while he's dealing with the much more important issue of his mother's illness.  I invite any of you to psycho-analyze me! 

In other news.... I not only entered the HiH debate, but have actually made some supporting comments as well.  I HATE debates.  I thought I would just skip this activity but my desire to earn points for Gryffindor won out over my dislike of debates.  And you know, surprisingly, it's really fun!  It's so unlike the "personal" attack I suffered in 7th grade that left me scarred for life.  Heh. (Stad, or perhaps even meli_in_sac, remember Keith Gudhus?  I think that's how you spell his last name... hopefully I am forgiven for actually posting his full name here..... he went on to join the debate team in high school BECAUSE he had so much fun making me look like an idiot in front of the whole class!  He didn't say it in so many words of course but he referred to that debate as the thing that hooked him on debating)

I'm no good at psycho analysis, so don't trust what I say too much...

New guy in your life (me, we only started talking on livejournal recently), connection (star wars fans), fancying me (hmmm, more difficult this one, but I am working out now to become mr stud). Car fixing (ok, really clutching at straws now - I worked on my mates head gasket a couple of weeks ago), chatting about shit (easy, livejournal!)

That's my light hearted analysis, and as for the why - you haven't been able to contact your boyfriend this week, so are missing something from your life that you're used to, and therefore have this dream to fill that space.

Nice to be dreamt about of though ;-) (even if I don't wear glasses or fix cars!)

Ha!!! That's brilliant! I think you figured it out! Funny though, how you didn't even LOOK like you in this dream. I did have a dream once though where A. was Korean, yet somehow I knew it was him (he's totally white - mostly Pollock) so anything's possible! And the guy wasn't FIXING my car, he just did the paperwork and had some other guys doing the dirty work :)

[kevthejedi.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but you don't *really* know what I look like, everyone's different in person!
I don't mind getting down and dirty though ;-)

You sure that it was Vietnamese? Then it could be Nam.

Hehehe, nope, it was actually a guy I had known years before! (known professionally, not in the Biblical sense, I might add!)

I'm a smartass. Which is why I'm good at debates and secondly I may be on some people's death lists. =P LoL. You did awesomely.

Go go Gryffindor!

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

Ha ha! Smartasses rule! Do we ever find out who "won"? Is it whatever house has the most "counting" comments? Or does someone actually look at the points made and decide from there? If that's the case I lost my thread cuz I couldn't come up with anything to rebutt that Claw with before the debate closed :)

[amaelgreenleaf.livejournal.com]

No. There's no real winning or losing. The points are tallied according to the House participation and then it's posted on the monthly point count at the end of each month. Gryff 'won' last month with over 200 points. =)

Um, thanks...?

I haven't thought about ol' big headed Keith in years (well, big ego Keith, actually....wasn't it his friend George who had the really big head -- physically?)

I just I wish I hadn't read your post at bedtime. If I have any creepy dreams about middle school, I will post them in revenge. :)

Re: Um, thanks...?

Bring on the revenge!!! I love remembering the hell that was middle school!!!!
