Seven Dreams ‘Til Tuesday

Oh, to dream a thousand dreams and never see them manifest. To dream is to yield a mighty weapon with the mind. To dream is believe with all the heart that anything is possible, without the struggle of faith. To dream is the inward belief that you are capable of everything without the rationale of the mind. In your dreams, you can be anyone. In your dreams you always get the prince and the dream house. In your dream it doesn't matter who you are, because wonderful things always happen. In your dreams, you don't have to worry about "possible."

Let me tell you about my dreams. In my dreams, there is a prince. And yes, he's handsome. I don't want a macho rowdy guy, I want the sensitive type. You know the guy that even if he's had plenty of "girlfriends", he still remembers the first girl he liked, he remembers her name. I want the guy that is willing to talk to me as an equal. I don't want to be beneath or above him. I want us to be partners. In my dreams, the guy is by no means perfect, just perfect for me. He's funny, sweet, and caring. In my dreams, the guy never buys me flowers. The guy buys me books. In my dreams, the guy takes me on spontaneous trips to Mexico. The guy brings me home to meet his all too willing parents. The guy lets me wear his clothes. In my dreams, the guy never pressures me for sex. In my dreams, the guy can do sixty pull ups before ever breaking a sweat. In my dreams, the guy likes to take me to fancy restaurants where I can wear floor length, backless, red gowns and he wears a tux. In my dreams, all of this is possible.

My dreams are only the typical "girly" dreams, however. In my dreams, I am wildly successful. I have degrees and honors. I have recognitions and awards. In my dreams, I am a doctor, a lawyer, and a psychologist. In my dreams, I am special. I am fabulously wealthy, wonderfully rich, and fantastically well off. In my dreams, the money does not matter. I give a lot of it away. I personally finance outings into the Amazon jungle to vaccinate children, to Africa to plant schools and orphanages, to china to smuggle Bibles. In my dreams, I go to Europe for complicated study programs, to Israel to walk the Way of Suffering. In my dreams, the President calls me personally for weaponry programming. In my dreams, I am a profiler in collaboration with the FBI. In my dreams, I perform complex surgeries on brains, hearts, and nerves. In my dreams, I am a federal prosecutor. In my dreams, I am a shark. My dreams are wonderful and countless.

"Here we are, all of us, basically alone, separate creatures, just circling each other, all searching for that slightest hint of a real connection. Some look in the wrong places, some they just give up hope because in their mind they're thinking 'Oh there's nobody out there for me,' but all of us, we keep trying over and over again. Why? Because every once in a while... Every once in a while, two people meet and there's that spark, and yes, Bones, he's handsome and she's beautiful and maybe that's all they see at first, but falling in love... falling love... that's when two people become one"
