Boys of my dreams

For some reason I have this penchant of falling – at least a short while – for guys that I happen to suddenly dream about. This is not the case where you fall asleep thinking of some person and you end up dreaming about him/her. It’s just totally random.

Just yesterday, I dreamt of this guy who was my high school classmate. I have not seen him for what – two years – and suddenly he appears in my dreams? And the dream sequence is something that looks like it was taken from a Pinoy blockbuster valentine date movie.

In my dream, I was training for a marathon – yeah, it just keeps spewing more and more impossible scenarios. So I was jogging around UP Diliman (or at least I think it was UP Diliman judging from the landscape), and I bump into this guy from my high school who had just come from a basketball game nearby. Like what are the chances.

The whole thing kind of went by as a blur but I remember several scenes where we were doing this flirtatious who-can-get-there-first kind of race all around the campus. We end up meeting with other acquaintances which results into not-so-subtle teasing and nudges. And I wake up.

I happen to believe that dreams provide clues in learning more about what’s really going on in your brain. So what is this telling me? Pray tell.

I have not even seen this person for years. Years! So why in the world did I dream about him? And why do I find myself thinking about this person – he’s not even my type at all. I must have had crushes on half of my high school class and he wasn’t one of them. This is just so random and disruptive of my normal thinking patterns. (Then again, since I haven’t had a real “crush” in a loooooooong while, this might be a welcome distraction, albeit an imaginary one.)

Somebody pinch me.
