In Dreams - a Roy Orbison Thanksgiving
What is it called when you have a dream about someone you haven't
seen or talked to or thought about in a long time, and in the dream
you fall in love with them, only to wake up, realize it was a
dream, but find yourself attracted to them in real life because of
what transpired in your sleep, even if you never had any feelings
for them prior? Does anyone know or have any of you experienced the
same event?
Last night I went to bed thinking of my last girlfriend whom I broke up with in January. It's been over 10 months since we split (it was a rough break-up and while I didn't want to leave her I knew I had to) and I still think about her every day, even more so at night. I still feel terribly in love with her. I had a dream about her last night - that she came back to me and we were together again. Unfortunately I was awoken from my REM utopia by the smell of holiday turkey in the oven and a cold draft on my legs. I haven't been able to shake the image of her for a second. It's been a rough day. I just keep replaying Roy Orbison's "In Dreams" over and over in my head. I wish I could find someone else (unlikely to be on OkC) to fill that particular void inside me. My bad. Here I go getting all Morrissey on you guys, haha. Happy TG.

A candy-colored clown they call the Sandman
Tiptoes to my room every night
Just to sprinkle stardust and to whisper,
"Go to sleep - everything is all right."
I close my eyes
Then I drift away
Into the magic night
I softly say
A silent prayer
Like dreamers do
Then I fall asleep to dream
My dreams of you
In dreams I walk with you
In dreams I talk to you
In dreams you're mine
All of the time we're together
In dreams
In dreams
But just before the dawn
I awake and find you gone
I can't help it, I can't help it if I cry
I remember that you said goodbye
It's too bad that all these things
Can only happen in my dreams
Only in dreams
