What's in a Dream?

Vanilla was telling me yesterday about her weird and colorful (not literally!) dream about me. Vanilla has this habit of retelling her stories over and over, so of course I was hearing about it until this morning...oh bother! I love Vanilla, but I really have to tune out on the second or third round of her stories... *shakes head*

Anyway, her dream about me was so fantastic (I thought it was) and quite detailed. Surprisingly, though, once I broke down the details of her dream, I found that it was a very literal interpretation of what "others" have told me about my future (which Vanilla didn't know about) -- quite accurate actually if I'll base it on what I've been told.

But really, this means nothing to me. I don't believe in dreams (the dreams you have when you sleep, that is). I take them for granted and take them as mere manifestations of my thoughts and feelings while I'm awake. Besides, they're often so literal that I don't think they symbolize anything as dreams should (or should they?). I sorta envy MissMetaphor whose dreams are very symbolic but which manifest one way or another in the "real world".

Well, as I told Vanilla in conclusion to our lengthy (and circular?) discussion of her dream, we'll just wait and see if her dream will come true.
