Dreams...

Did you ever have a dream that you just couldn't get out of your head after waking? I don't usually remember my dreams, but when I do I tend to dream movie-like dreams, where friends and acquaintances are the 'characters. Anyway, last night I had a dream that I haven't been able to shake all day. It was a WEIRD dream. But, one of the characters was my former boss's husband. Now let me say, I haven't talked to this boss in probably 5 or 6 years but when I did work for her, we were friends and I went on several work related trips with her and her husband, so I got to become friends with him, too. What on EARTH made him pop into my head/dream, who knows? I always try to analyze these weird-o movie dreams, but I am no Freud.

On the other hand, I've been feeling really nostalgic lately. Maybe its facebook, or the fact that Big G just had a mini-college reunion at our house. But I found myself actually missing those friends and the circle of friends that we shared. And lots of other long-lost friends have started to come to mind, and I find myself feeling nostalgic about them too.

But how do you go about reconnecting with someone you've lost touch with for so long? G says "you just call/email them and say hey, whats up, I was thinking about you." He does that sort of thing. I guess I'm a little socially awkward that way - I just feel uncomfortable. Like I'm barging in on a life that hasn't included me for a long time... What if they don't WANT to hear from me?

Funny all the things one minor character in a weird dream can stir up.
