I wasn’t sure if it was a dream until later in the morning when I checked my phone.

I was supposed to meet a friend the day before in the park but I had ran out of credit so couldn’t text them back.

This was someone who I had known for a couple of years and when we first met we hung out quite regularly but in recent times hadn’t seen much of eachother, and they had told me a few months ago they were leaving Glasgow to return to their home country, and so we should hang out some more before they left.

I had first met them in a bar where I was sitting by myself and was in need of a pen to write some ideas down but had forgot to bring one. They were with a friend who noticed my frustration at not having a pen, and they gave me theirs. They were just leaving and so I decided to go out for a cigarette witht them as they had asked me about what I was writing and we started to talking about philosophy. 

We went out for cig and carried on with the interesting conversation, although it was mostly between the male friend, and the female who is the subject of the dream didn’t really talk much. We agreed there was some connection between us all and we exchanged numbers so as to meet up for a coffee. However, it turned out that when we tried to meet up, the female had decided that they were interested in me sexually, and so had evidently told the male friend to not come along. We went for a drink and after quite a few beers they asked if I wanted to come home with them, which I didn’t as I had not long broke up with my partner and wasn’t in the mood. They didn’t seem happy.

This went on every time I met them, the conversation would always turn to sex, and me not being interested. And so over time I stopped wanting to hang out with them as I was annoyed that they had ruined what I thought would be a good friendship between all three of us. 

Back to the dream and the text message.

They had text me the day before to ask if I wanted to sit in the park with them. I text them back after buying some credit, that we could hang out the following day. The text message from them that was in my mind when I woke up said that they were feeling a bit down, and anxious about leaving and just wanted someone to be close to, specifically that they just wanted someone to lie next to, and ‘spoon’. I thought about it for a few hours in the morning, what I would reply before realizing they hadn’t sent this text at all. I felt relieved, but decided I would meet them (today). Also, trying to decide whether I would bring all of us this up, and let them know how I felt about the whole thing. I think it will depend on what they say as I really don’t like confrontation, unless it’s absolutely necessary.
