I just woke up from what was probably the most wonderful dream I’ve ever had. And no, I wasn’t having sex. Actually, since I hit 30 I’ve almost never had dream sex,<\/p>\n
I was asked out on a date. That’s never<\/em> happened to me in real life. Never. I’ve always had to be the one who asked. And usually I got the you’re a nice guy Bruce but it just wouldn’t work<\/em> answer back.<\/p>\n I won’t go into the details, but me and the object of my affections were both teenagers in this dream, and he was someone I was madly crushing on (and still am…but I said I wouldn’t go into details…). What made the dream even more enchanting was some fairly old fashioned family members were watching all this go down and gave me a signal they approved of the nice boy asking me out, once they’d had a chance to size him up.<\/p>\n It was like a slice of life from a better world, a better life. I woke up feeling Wonderful<\/em>.<\/p>\n I’m 62, going on 63 now. I’ve had my three strikes. I know it will never be. I think this must be how acceptance feels. I’m okay with the dream I just had. Better than okay. Some dreams don’t have to come true after all. They can just be dreams.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I just woke up from what was probably the most wonderful dream I’ve ever had. And no, I wasn’t having sex.
