on the morning of our six-month anniversary

"I had a bad dream."

"What happened?"

"We were walking on a pier, somewhere in Washington State, I think. It started in this glass building and the pier went way out into the deep deep water. And it didn't have railings. I stopped to do something on my phone while you and the others went ahead. And then suddenly I felt this shaking and rumbling sound, and these huge dark blue waves were getting choppier and choppier on both sides, and getting really big. I called to you but couldn't see you. Other people started freaking out. This lady fell to her knees sobbing and this Pittsburgh Steelers player (in uniform, helmet and all) just sat down, right there, he was so scared. I turned and started running as fast as I could back to the glass building, and the pier started moving. Right as I was about to get to the doors, I lost my footing and slid off the pier and into the water. I remember thinking, right as I was about to hit the water, 'Ok, so I guess this is how I'm going to die.' And then I woke up."

"Whoa, that's pretty intense."

"I know, I'm still shaking. Who knows, maybe you ended up in the water, too. We'd have no way of finding each other."

"I had a horrible nightmare last night, too."

"Really? What happened?"

"Well, I dropped my iPhone and the face completely shattered. It was so upsetting! I woke up really sad, but when I checked it, everything was ok."

"What a relief for you."

  1. When you stopped to do something on your phone on this dream-sphere glass pier, that was when I carried you. (you just got Footprints'd!)

    PS: How interesting that both your dreams involved phones to some degree. What did you stop to do??

  2. Kinda hope it was Roethlisberger.

    I'm glad the phone was ok!

  3. Wow. You guys are such a perfect match.

    I'm kinda wondering about the Steelers player. How did he get into your psyche?

  4. Footprints'd!

    actually, I'm pretty sure it was Jerome Bettis. I had been watching Who Do You Think You Are and saw him get emotional. what's really weird is that I don't believe they mentioned he played for the Steelers, so I must have picked up that tidbit somewhere in life.
