Sweet dreams

A particular someone has been invading my dreams lately and I'm still not sure how to react.

The thing is, I have very vivid, oddly specific, and realistic dreams that I usually remember and so I sometimes have a hard time discerning between what really happened and what didn't. If I'm ever talking to you and I look confused, it's because we may have had a similar conversation in my dreams already. What's worse is that if you make multiple appearances in my dreams, we probably have differing opinions on our relationship. I may think that we're the best of friends because we hang out all the time in real life AND in my dreams. That means there is a potential of 24 hours of super fun time that we spend with each other, so of course I'm spilling all my secrets out to you right now.

In any case, before I woke up one morning, I had this dream that I was talking to this person about how it was Julia Child's 100th birthday that day. As we were talking about her and some of the ways that she contributed to the culinary world, he said to me, "There are two kinds of sweetness: one is of sugar itself and the other is when the ingredients mix together to sing a perfect harmony."

That was a beautiful observation but it was also so cheesy and uncharacteristic of him that I actually jolted awake knowing full well that was a dream. At least I wasn't confused in the morning for once.
