"And I wonder..."

Once upon a time, a man and a woman were walking in the park together.

“This is our song!” she told me. I was immediately apprehensive. Usually it’s a song I’m not familiar with or in a genre I dislike.

“Yeah… you sure about that?” I ask; very cocky, too demeaning, trying to shy away from the point.

“Yes, it’s our favorite band. It’s your favorite song! This is our song.”

I had to change the subject. She was on the offense and it was so painful for me to even consider.

“This is the song that you want to be played on our wedding day.”

“…”

She looks at me but not in a way a woman looks at you for confirmation. She already knows her accusations are true and doesn’t need any confirmation.

“…This isn’t even a song”, I try and protest, “…this is the morning weather report!”

She almost immediately begins to tear up.

“ Yo...’ll nev…r …eally gro… …p and liste… to …, will …u?”

“What?” I ask desperately because she wasn’t making any sense.

I wasn’t making any sense.

5:45 AM

“…accident on I-40. Two cars involved will hold up traffic an extra fifteen minutes. Avoid if possible. Last night, the temperature will drop…”

My alarm clock introduces me to a new day promptly at five, forty-five in the A.M. so I can get a solid thirty to forty-five minutes of weightlifting or cardio before going to work in the morning.
I woke up alone this particular morning. I’m usually disturbed by dreams involving wedding bells of any kind. This was a different feeling, somehow. I wasn’t disturbed but… it didn’t feel… great…?

There are many theories based on interpreting dreams, but there are also many theories that claim our dreams have no meaning.

Dreaming about a wedding has interpretations that include:


“…symbolizing a new beginning or transition in your current life… often negative and highlight some anxiety or fear. It often refers to feelings of bitterness, sorrow, or death. Alternatively, wedding dreams reflect your issues about commitment and independence.”

Or:

“To dream that you are planning your own wedding to someone you never met, is a metaphor symbolizing the union of your masculine and feminine side. It represents a transitional phase where you are seeking some sort of balance between your aggressive side and emotional side.”

Taking such interpretations from Dreammoods.com, I choose option ‘C’ and assume dreams have no real meaning.

On the other hand... I know exactly what song she’s talking about and won’t be able to listen to it again. Specific songs, according to Dreammoods.com, are interpreted to mean:

“…that you are looking at things from a spiritual viewpoint. Your future path is a happy one with good health and much wealth. Consider the words to the song that you are dreaming about for additional messages.”

I guess that’s something to look forward to experiencing.

Do you know what song I'm talking about? She does.
