Answer:
The best was a dream I had the night before I officially became friends with the guy who became my third crush.
I had been desperate for close friendship several weeks before having the dream, and my desire for friendship—- specifically for his friendship—- was becoming painfully unbearable. I was frustrated with the fact that I didn’t know how to become friends with someone. I prayed about it every freggin night. I cried about it quite a bit too. The only way I truly know if someone thinks of me as a friend is by verbal confirmation, and somewhere in my mind I knew that I was hoping impossibly that a word-of-mouth-confirmed friendship could happen in college. Silly me, yeah?
I went to sleep on a Wednesday night and had the most wonderful dream.
I dreamed I had run into a man I had known in high school but hadn’t seen since (but whom I never actually knew… complete stranger in actuality). We started talking and just hung out at the arcade the dream took place in, enjoying each other’s company. It was pure joy for me to have reunited with this person and spent time just having fun with one another. That Thursday afterwards I had a real peace about the friendship issue and I was in a cheerful mood throughout the day.
Then afternoon came, and a group/club I had joined at the college was meeting. My crush was in that group (though I thought at the time I felt only platonic feelings for him… even though I kinda knew better in the back of my mind), and after the meeting was over, I thought I’d be walking to the caf for dinner with him and another person who was trying to be my friend but whom I hadn’t quite warmed up to yet. But she had to go elsewhere, leaving me with the situation of walking across campus to the cafeteria… with him, and only him.
This started a conversation that served as a second introduction for the both of us. He explained that he was an extrovert but a “shy extrovert”, and I explained that I was an introvert with Asperger’s who wanted to be more social but found it hard to do so, and that I found it hard to make friends. And he posed the question:
“Can I be your friend?”
I was actually rather stunned but I of course answered with a “yes!” A verbal confirmation of friendship? And not me asking to be his friend, but him asking if he could be my friend? Mind blown.
And the overflow of joy from that conversation warmed me up and stayed with me for the rest of the night, but it stimulated me so much that I basically shut down and could think of nothing else until I went to bed that night. I was so excited my body had no idea how to react. That Thursday was the best Thursday of my life, and it started with the chipper mood I’d had from a dream of friendship that came true the very next day.
If I hadn’t had that dream about a friendship the night before, I don’t think I’d be as optimistic about our still-casual friendship as I am now. Because it’s been a long time since I’ve seen him on a daily basis like I did back in August, September, October, November and December. I had to drop out the following semester and I’ve only seen him approximately once a month since winter break ended—- and I didn’t see him at all over those three months. You can say I’m hoping things will happen the way they did in the dream. Because of that dream I have the motivation to put effort into this still-new friendship that’s had its growth stunted due to circumstances beyond my control.
And that’s why the “friendship dream” is the best dream I’ve ever had. It encouraged me on the day I needed it most and gives me hope today for a friendship that has so much potential but hasn’t had the room to grow… yet. :)
