Girfriend Dreams
Dream #1
I’m living in a second story place on a campus, but it feels like a hotel room. The floor is covered in clothes and I’m aware that someone is living there, despite the fact that at that moment, I’m alone. I’m on the phone, cooking supper (it’s noodles), talking to this Chinese girl with a cute accent. It’s apparent that she’s not from Canada and is most likely an exchange student. The nature of our telephone conversation, though mostly forgotten makes me feel that we’re more than friends, but not a couple. She makes me smile like no one has for a long time. After I’m done cooking noodles, I tell her that I have to go.

I leave the apartment and the next thing that I realize is that I’m in bed with my ex-girlfriend, Pearl. Pearl, like in real life, is a first generation Chinese-Canadian, but I get the impression that she’s quite different from the voice on the phone. She’s happy to see me, but in a friendly platonic way. Despite that, we’re in bed, naked, chatting with each other. I talk about the disintegration of our relationship, and she listens to me. The next thing I realize, a person I know from high school, Aiden comes to bed and she and him start to make-out. Realizing that I’m not registering with them, I leave.

Dream #2
I’m at my old apartment in Grande Prairie, but it feels like the present. I’m sitting at my desk, chatting online with Heather. She’s asking me questions, asking how I am, interested in my life. We also discuss how she’s doing and the conversation flows freer than I recall. She’s incredibly open in this dream, telling me stuff that she wouldn’t otherwise. It’s like we’ve found an understanding of some sort and she feels that she can confide with me, openly and totally. I feel incredibly content in my dream, as if this is what I’ve been waiting for all my life.
