I feel like I don't know you at all, physically.

That's a quote from my dream last night. It was a rather odd dream in which a person who I am good friends with, but have no interest in romantically, gets professes some rather romantic feelings for me. It was particularly strange because while the setting was far from realistic and all kinds of characters background characters were interacting in places and with people that didn't make any sense, all of the protagonists (particularly myself and said friend) remained very true to character. That is to say, he was awkward and cute in a very lost puppy sort of way, and after he professed his love I told him that he was adorable and that I thought he was a great person but that I was very much in love with my boyfriend and, consequently, nothing would ever happen between the two of us. He took it rather well.

All of the scenes outside of our interactions were completely surreal. I was in places that I didn't know with a very random cast of characters that was entirely unlikely for this particular plot. Yet, the scenes with us in them were spot on, aside from the fact that I very much doubt this person has any feelings for me at all. It was also one of those dreams that I remember almost perfectly after waking up which is rare.

Anyway, I thought that line was particularly good. I mean, the fact that I write dialogue in my sleep cracks me up to begin with. But the fact that I remembered this one line word for word, and the fact that it barely makes sense makes me particularly happy. It would make more sense if this character had simply been referring to sex, but he wasn't. His character in the dream (much like the person in real life) would be more interested in romance than sex, so it was a very funny turn of phrase (and yet something I feel pretty sure he would have said).

And I now look back at this post and think... and who besides me would give a shit? I'm not at all sure. But, I felt the need to write about it, and since it would appear that no one really reads this anyway, I guess it doesn't matter. Hopefully I'll be writing more later having to do with things other than obscure dreams in which real people proclaim their imaginary love. Until then...
