The Girl In My Dream Doug D'Elia

I meet her in a cafZ under the most unusual circumstance, as is often the case when destiny is involved. I should mention that she is, in all ways, the most perfect woman I have ever known, and being in her presence felt comfortable and familiar. But the unusual circumstance I mentioned is not her perfection, it is that I met her in a dream, and we continued to meet in that realm with regularity even while I was sleeping in the same bed as my girlfriend. Our meetings, as you would expect, were beyond my control and the uncertainty of our relationship created an obsession to bring purpose and meaning to our encounters, but crossing realms is a spiritual journey that by nature defies logic, and separating thoughts, memories, and dreams proved much more difficult than I could have ever imagined. In the end, or I could just as easily say the beginning, my life was changed in the most profound way.
