Prophecies, or I Can Tell The Future!

Yesterday morning I had the most wonderful dream! I only really remember two images, but the dream was so full, I loved it!

The first image was of me opening a large door to a house, from the inside (I think the door was green). On the other side of the door was my college roommate Alex, except he was no longer the scruffy, youthful, frazzled-yet-charming boy who stayed up all hours of the night re-playing Halo 2 (twice) that I knew in college. He was a man. And what's more, he was not alone: He was holding a very young, blond girl in his arms (she had her arms around his neck), and there was a lovely lady standing next to him, holding the hand of another, slightly older blond girl. We immediately embraced. That's when I realized what was going on: after so long, I was meeting Alex's daughters for the first time (I had already met his wife at the wedding, years before). They were beautiful girls. Perfect and well behaved and wonderful.

I think I had me a significant other as well, so the second image was of the four grown-ups (and maybe the girls, I really can't be sure) sitting around my (stunning) dining room table eating a large bird I had just roasted. We were laughing and talking and reminiscing. Oh, how wonderful it was for me and _____ to see Alex and _____ again!

And then I woke up.

The dream made me excited about growing up. I saw and felt that after so long and with the addition of 4 people we don't even know yet, Alex and I were still the same people. We could still sit with each other and be entertained and not feel strange about the time that had passed between us. It was such a comfort to me after the fitful night of sleep I'd just had.

I can't wait to meet your beautiful babies, Alex! Maybe now you'll name one after me??
