Really good (past) friend

Not but three nights ago, I had a dream that I was talking with a girl that I used to be really good friends with.

We used to hang out every night on a daily basis at IHOP - usually with a small group of other friends - drinking coffee until the odd hours of the night.

In my dream - I was who I am NOW - She was who she was 5 years ago or so it seemed.

I don't recall much of the conversation I dreamed we had, but now she has a kid and in the dream I asked her about her son and she looked at me like I was a nutzo!

Very odd lol.

Most of the dreamed conversation was her and I just hanging out in a room with sky blue walls with several very colorful pictures on the wall and we did a lot of laughing. I almost felt like we were truly friends again but then I woke up.

She and I didn't really have a falling out or anything - we just kind of moved on I suppose and I do miss having her to talk to - Especially as of late as my fiancee has been working a lot lately and i've very few friends whose company I do thoroughly enjoy.

After so long, why would I dream about her and I having such a good time like we used to? Late last year I wrote on her myspace page to just say hi and she hasn't gotten back to me. Her mother has though lol.

One of the last times she and I hang out was right before my fiancee moved in with me. At the time, she and I were only dating for a month when she moved in and my friend thought it was a crazy move to make.. but I wouldn't change what happened for the world.

I do miss my old friend though, now, seemingly, more then ever

I've been out of high school for several years - all right, around 20. I still have dreams about the people I hung out with there even though I haven't seen them in over 10 years. The funny thing is that it's the ones I don't see that I dream about. One in particular died about 8 years ago but I still see him as he would be now. We didn't really hang out together, but we ended up doing a lot of things together all through school, he rode my bus (in a rural school district) and we went to the same church. To me it seems like he is a symbol of my childhood. I was happy while in school, and he was always around some where during that time. Two days after high school graduation he was in a car accident and lived the rest of his life in a wheel chair. In my dreams he is using his legs and hands, just like in school - he has aged, but not in his wheel chair, which makes me think he is that symbol more than anything else.

Well, I haven't thought about it this way. It's very possible that she is a symbol of sorts, symbolizing friendships in my eyes?

I recently wrote her on her myspace again and she's written back!! I told her of this dream that I had hehe. She told me that she will always be my friend, which was very comforting.. and offered her phone # so I could call her when I wanted/needed to talk.

I'm sincerely considering giving her a call - I absolutely miss her company and she's a wonderful person.

Thanks for the reply Robin!
