In a dream last night, I was late getting back to work from a break. Unusually, I could run in this dream (usually when I run in a dream it's like running through chest-deep water), but I had to run through a crowd, and what seemed to be a department store, specifically the sleepwear section...
I ran past a cute, short young woman with short red hair, but in running past my shirt caught on something and while trying to twist away from the snag without losing too much momentum I ended up sort of dancing with her. We laughed and in short conversation she said she had a boyfriend but had only recently started going out with him and I was already more fun. At one point I picked her up in my arms and her train of thought was completely derailed by the comfort of it. Whatever she was saying turned in to "You can hold me like this any night..." (or something similar) as she closed her eyes and relaxed.
Some nagging part of me reminded me I was still late for getting back to work, so we exchanged usernames (she also worked at Google, and usernames equate to email addresses) and something woke me up from the dream. She had an unusual name that sounded something like ebony and ivory mashed together. I can't remember it now.
