Dreaming of Bloggers...

Have any of you ever dreamed of other bloggers? Even ones you may have never met in person before? Previously this year, I dreamed of Moby before I actually decided to fly to SF to meet up with: Moby, Tony, Homer, Rob, Chad Fox, Dan, Brandon, and Kel.

I had a dream last night. When the dream sequence began, I found myself at some kind of slumber party. Well, maybe it wasn't a slumber party. Maybe it was a blogger get together. I didn't recognize any of the people there but ONE. This person is a blogger that I have yet to meet. We have sometimes knocked heads in the past. Can you imagine me knocking heads with anyone?! Presently, I have a very cordial relationship with this blogger.

My first reaction upon seeing this person face-to-face was one of elation. We simply stared at each other and smiled. I felt all the past run-ins were quickly washed away from both of us. We hugged. I tried to go behind him, lift him up, and crack his back. (something I only do for very special people). We laid on the floor together and cuddled. It was a joyous occasion. At that one moment, our minds and souls were ONE. Imagining forgiveness with this particuliar blogger was a nice feeling. I know it will come someday soon.

The human element of forgiveness was a key theme to this dream. I am the world's biggest forgiver, although it does not always happen without much foot dragging. I must first let my PRIDE subside a little first. Sometimes, I am forced to give someone the silent treatment when we run into each other in public. That is for their benefit... TRUST ME. I do this when I know that any interaction will probably not go well. I will not be able to stop my tongue from splitting in two, spitting like a serpent, and giving the individual a good tongue lashing. Until someone can lock us in a room together with straight jackets on until we straighten things out, sometimes forgiveness takes time. But forgiveness does come eventually...
