This morning I woke up around 3 from what may be considered a nightmare. In the dream, I had, for some reason, agreed to marry a very good friend. I loved him, just not romantically. In the dream, I guess I decided that I needed to stop waiting for Mr. Right, and settle for Mr. Right Now. It's all a bit hazy, but I think that I figured that being married to a good friend I wasn't in love with was better than not being married at all.
Anyway, immediately after the ceremony (which I don't really remember, I just remember thinking, "Well, now I'm married..."), I had this sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach. I suddenly realized that I was trapped. I would need to be a good wife to the guy I had just married, and would never be able to be with someone I truly loved, if I ever found him.
It was pretty weird to wake up from. I lay there thinking, "What am I going to do? I can't get a divorce. Maybe an annulment? What does the First Presidency think of those?" It took me a couple of moments lying there to realize that it had all been just a dream, and I was as yet unfettered by such a choice.
I'm very curious as to what this dream meant, if anything. Any suggestions?

heh... "unfettered".
ReplyDeleteit means you are getting to that age where you are starting to worry that you will never marry...welcome! look forward to many more similar dreams
I had that dream about five years ago, except instead of a good friend, it was someone I had just met and became friends with very quickly. He looked like Mickey Rooney, which meant he was about a foot shorter than me.
ReplyDeleteIn my case, I think it wasn't worry that I would never marry, but worry that I was incapable of love.
