It's Catching

I am learning that the more people who discuss their dreams the more dreams people around them remember. Case in point: my boyfriend Anthony seems to be recalling his dreams more vividly and frequently since I started sharing mine. The trick is to wake up and immediately talk about them.

I hope he doesn't mind me retelling his dream last night...

He said we were out at the movies and I got up to go to the bathroom and never returned. He searched for me in the theater and then in a mall. He was really worried about me and finally when he almost felt like giving up he came to my apartment and found me curled up in my bed. When he asked me why I didn't come back to my seat I nonchalantly said, "I felt like coming home."

I didn't get a chance to tell him my dream last night...

I dreamt that we had plans without each other one night. I was out by myself walking the streets for a good restaurant when I bumped into a crowd of people I had not seen in a long time. I sat down at their table to chat with them when all of a sudden Anthony walked into the restaurant and glared at me. He thought that I had made plans without him on purpose, so I could hang out with a bunch of people he didn't know. He got suspicious for no reason and blew up at me. I ran after him, but each time I would get close enough to explain how innocent the encounter was he would fly into a rage and leave me. Finally, my perseverence paid off because Anthony returned on his own accord and he fell into my arms sobbing and confessing, "I don't ever want to lose you".

Are these dreams a coincidence or very telling of our attachment to one another? It is something to think about...
