Intricate dreams, and
When I wake up, I sometimes
Wonder whether they are prophetic,
Whether God is trying to tell me
Something.
But today I recalled a friend's dream
That inspired her many years ago.
One night she dreamed that an
Acquaintance of hers had
Married me.
Acting on the strong urge, she
Invited both of us to a party at
Her home.
I eagerly anticipated the
Meeting.
After all, we were "meant" for
Each other.
And, in fact, the gentleman did
Ask me out.
We had a pleasant dinner,
We chatted awhile in my
Living room, and when
He left he said he would call
Again.
But he never did call, and in a
Few months he was married to
Another lady from my Bible study group.
My enlightened friend had
Envisioned the man's marriage, but
To the wrong person.
Considering the past,
I believe I will relegate my dreams to
Wishful thinking, or
Brain corrections, or
Indigestion.
