and to add to the stress dreams...
I have had stress dreams about marriage and weddings since I was at least 14 - maybe even younger. Usually, I almost get married to a pretty decent guy, but run out of the wedding and am pursued by the wedding party who chase me for the rest of the dream.
Last night, however, I had the most bizarre wedding/marriage stress dream ever...
I dreamed that I was in rural(ish) North Carolina, sitting in the driveway of a family's home, watching cars zoom around a bend and narrowly avoid hitting me and this family. One ill-fated gasoline truck didn't make the turn, and careened off the road and burst into flames. After such, the family and I decided that sitting in the road was fun, but it was time to move on to the wedding.
The wedding... I was very much in love with this wonderful man, but I felt that our relationship was too good to be true - I could not fathom that there would be any way that he could ever return my feelings for him. So, in haste, I proposed marriage to this creature - this huge, morbidly obese and stupid female-like human. It (she?) could not speak and really didn't know what was going on. I think the only reason I married her was so that I could guarantee that I would never be alone. Anyway, we got married in the Kerr Drug (yes- the one and only Kerr Drug in Chapel Hill that strip searched me a few weeks ago). Love-of-my-life was there, mournful and pretty confused, as was the strip-searching staff of Kerr Drug, and morbidly-obese-stupid creature was there too, but I don't even remember what she looked like. My parents were also supportive, but generally confused - they helped me get into my wedding dress. Originally, I was going to wear this gorgeous (yet scandalous) red dress, but decided to wear a white dress instead. Once the ceremony was over, it was as if we were chained together and could never leave each other's company, but I never looked at her or thought of her again, and kept trying to live as if this ceremony had never happened.
I feel like this dream is pretty transparent, but what do I do about it?
blech. ha! los sueños, sueños son.
