Dream: The Meaning of a Kiss

I may regret posting this...

Last night's dream is one of the strangest I think I've had - although I'm not sure I can call it "strange" in the same sense as I refer to my dream of shooting up a casino with my buddy Chewbacca.

Like most of the dreams I seem to find worth mentioning, this dream featured a woman I've never met in waking life. I got the impression that the woman and I fought a lot, but, really, I barely knew her. She was definitely a pretty girl, but the dress she wore couldn't hide the fact that she hadn't shaved her legs in a couple of days - there were a couple of odd hairs poking out around her knees.

The girl sat me down on the floor and then knelt in front of me. "I have something I want to try," she said. "If two people sit very close to each other, with their faces almost touching, they'll be able to find out more about each other."


You can probably tell where this is going...


"You see," she said, "the longer two people can tolerate being next to each other, the more likely..."

She never finished the sentence. Here she was - a beautiful woman (with, admittedly, an obvious but minor physical imperfection) right in front of me, almost BEGGING to be kissed.

Give the people what they want, I always say.

Of course, that's the time the construction started outside my apartment, so I woke up before I got to see how the girl reacted to me kissing her out of the blue. Considering how long the kiss lasted before we got interrupted, though, I doubt she minded too much.

I've been thinking about this dream all day, and I've got two different theories about what it might mean:
  1. The great apartment hunt of 2011 is still ongoing. We've already passed on a couple of pretty decent places with just a small thing or two wrong (like the unshaved legs on my dream girl), holding out for something just a little better. The dream could be telling me to find those slightly imperfect opportunities, forget about the little things that go wrong, and kiss them right on the mouth.
  2. I haven't had a good snog in three years and it's time to DO something about that.
Either way, I think it's time I faced up to the fact that I've got some pretty dramatic changes coming my way.

I like that you used the word 'snog'!
