" I had the most bizarre dream last night. I was getting married again! I have no idea to whom (please be Viggo Mortensen please be Viggo Mortensen please be Viggo Mortensen), but it was my wedding day and I was getting ready. One of my neighbors was my maid of honor, and I was rummaging through my closet for my wedding dress. The neighbor pulled out my old wedding dress, and I said &amp;quot;No, I can&amp;#039;t wear that. That&amp;#039;s my old dress. Don&amp;#039;t I have anything new?&amp;quot; She replied that no, I hadn&amp;#039;t prepared anything else (her exact word \u2013 &amp;#039;prepared&amp;#039;) and that I&amp;#039;d have to use the old one. I balked in serious dismay \u2013 I didn&amp;#039;t even think I could fit it anymore. It wouldn&amp;#039;t work. It wasn&amp;#039;t right. I was overwhelmed with just how wrong it felt getting married in my old dress. I turned to my bridesmaid neighbor and said &amp;quot;That&amp;#039;s not me anymore. I&amp;#039;m not the person who wears that dress anymore.&amp;quot; And then suddenly I was awake. Like I couldn&amp;#039;t stand the thought of being in that dream one minute longer, I woke myself up. And there I sat at 2:17 am, wide awake and wondering what I was trying to tell myself. I tried to get back to sleep, but it was useless. I got up, poured a mug of tea, walked around the house a bit, and then finally decided I needed a good think. One part of the dream seemed to stick with me, rubbing me wrong. I didn&amp;#039;t have something new and beautiful to wear to my next wedding because I hadn&amp;#039;t prepared anything. I was stuck with the old, trying hopelessly to make it fit when it so obviously didn&amp;#039;t anymore. When it was so obviously wrong for me to wear it. I guess my subconscious is trying to tell me that I need to stop trying to fit myself into the old me. Just like my marriage, the life that the old me used to wear is gone now. I have to figure out and prepare a new life for me to slip into. One that&amp;#039;s fresh and beautiful and fits me like a glove. I need to wear it and feel great in it, and the rest will come. Maybe even Viggo Mortensen. Ya gotta have a dream, right? "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
