Weird dreams and the past
I had a strange dream last night about someone from my past. I mention it because it struck me as being very surreal and as I woke I remembered the dream, but the details faded from memory. Before I had met sassette726 I had been engaged to someone, her name was Karen Albers. It obviously did not work out, but I have always wondered how she was doing and how things turned out for her. I hope she is well, though I know she married a few years later becoming Karen Cain and I do hope she found happiness. I'm not sure why the dream came around, out of nowhere really, but now I am left with curiosity again. What makes this worse is that the dream was about her having an LJ and me randomly coming across it. In the dream I had the user ID and that is the detail that faded from memory when I woke up. Not really sure what to think of that now.
It reminds me of another friend that I lost track of years ago. Its really impossible to tell what happened to her as her name is so generic, Allison Smith. All I remember was that she was from Peoria, IL and that she went to college in Rolla, MO where she was a Metallurgical Engineer major. Not knowing what happened to her really bothers me now and again. She was someone that I was really close to and she just faded away from me.
Sometimes the past comes out and makes you sad for no other reason than because you remember people that you cared about and now you don't know what has happened to them or if they are okay. It has very little to do with where I am in my life today, but they were part of what brought me here and for me when I care about someone and lose track of them I always carry a piece of them with me that wants to know they are safe and doing well.
*Shrug* Not all that much I can do about it.
