Dreams and friends

cybermuleWell, I'm starting to remember more dreams with more effort put into writing them down. But I should make a note of them right away, otherwise I forget.
Last night's dream was cool - I had this great friend staying with me. I knew them already (although IRL I don't recognise who it is), but it was the first time I actually met them, and they were staying at my house. We had to battle an evil witch (she looked like the one from "Big Fish"). The great thing about it was that this friend just accepted that that's what we had to do, and we were of one mind - really similar ways of thinking and planning and dealing with the crisis.
I occasionally get this dream about a "super friend", and I guess it bothers me as I've never really known that sort of friendship, and I'm wondering whether it's unrealistic. Don't get me wrong - I have friendly/romantic/familial relationships with various people, and I love them all dearly, but I never have that feeling that this is "the one", any sort of romantic or platonic soul-mate. I'm not sure if there's something wrong with me (it often makes me feel like a bit of a bitch, despite my deep love for those I care about), or whether it's just a ridiculously idealistic notion. Other people seem to get that feeling of extreme emotional/intellectual closeness, just not me. Hmm. This isn't morose or self-pitying, just observational. I might just return to it later :)
Anyway, the rest of the dream (or maybe the second part - I'm in the habit of waking up early at the moment, then drifting off for another hour later) involved fighting with an infected vampire gerbil :D The only notable point (about from the silliness of that) is that it was in the same kind of stately-home place that I keep having as a dream-setting recently.

Re:
Date: 2004-02-04 02:25 pm (UTC)Ah - I reread that and saw that it might be interpreted as negative. You probably didn't take it that way, knowing that I was likely to just have been entranced by two "particular"s in one sentence, but I thought I'd just be certain :)
What I really meant to say was pretty much as you said yourself - that it was a more grey area than I'd originally suspected.
