A dream that recurred when I was younger-
I am in a futuristic airport/spaceport. I am looking for someone. It's not anyone I know in my waking life, but whoever she is, I know that she is the love of my life. It seems that wherever I am, she has just left- she is looking for me, too, but we are following each other in circles around the place.
This dream goes on and on for what seems like hours in dream time. Eventually I find that I have arrived at the entranceway to a shuttle of some kind (maybe a space shuttle, maybe a bus). I see Her on the other side- she has got on by mistake. We start towards each other. Just as we do, the doors close. We are separated by a clear window through which we can see each other for just one moment; then the vehicle leaves, incredibly fast, taking her away from me, never to see her again.
For years, I had this dream and woke from it in tears. Right now, remembering it, I am crying, even though I hadn't thought about it in years. Wierd, huh?
I suppose this is a dream about my ideal love who never existed in reality; or maybe it was my first love who I would never get back; maybe it's the woman I'll never meet now, because (as much as I love my wife) maybe I settled for less than my ideal, out of fear of ending up with nobody at all. Maybe that's why I don't have this dream any more.
I don't guess I'll ever know now. But thanks for listening (reading?).
