A Journey In the Head

I woke up this morning from a dream. I'm not sure how I should interpret it. It's unique in its own settings, strange as how normally a dream is in the misplacement of details, and weird as how a dream usually is hard to believe. I could vaguely recall all the details by now. Here's how it goes in a much summarized form.

There was a man who has been searching all through his life for that one personal relationship that would be his for his whole lifetime. He has been faithfully attending a community of faith for at least more than half his lifetime, and has since been enjoying much of the warmth and care from that family of friends, brothers and sisters of the same faith. There was a friend that he got to know closely even learnt more of her through the activities that were shared and even through extended personal times together. However, after some time, he realized that perhaps she is not the one whom he should pursue for that lifetime of personal relationship. This went on for some time until one day came. There was yet another friend who was a friend to both and he knew all along the history of this relationship. He then rallied together other friends to share with them this story and came up with a plan to simply get these 2 persons to come together. There are 2 details that I can't put quite together: the girl had written 2 special greeting cards on which she wrote some very affectionate feelings and emotions for the man, and the man was invited to the dean's office where he used to study and his name was entered into the Dean's list. Finally, the day came, when the man saw the 2 special greeting cards which he didn't really have the courage to open and take a look. It took him another day to consider and to finally open and read it. That was how he knew the truth from the girl's heart. He didn't open the second and threw it away.

I just felt I should record the above down and am not sure what to make of it. Sometimes, it's mind-boggling what goes on inside our head when we sleep and that continues to amaze me. Either way, I want to continue to hold on to that promise of God,

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
~ Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV)
