  • When I was around 10 -12, I had this recurring dream about a girl that lived next to my house. Just across the stream that runs behind my house, maybe two soccer fields distance.

    I used to go play with her every night in my dreams for years. Maybe not every night, but very regularly. We did all kinds of fun things, explore the neigbourhood, hide and seek, build a hut, just normal kid stuff.

    Things is, there is no stream behind my house, only a dried up ditch. Also there’s a couple other houses close by, but not in that direction. I never knew this girl in real life. But that was fine. It was probably just a kid’s imagination who wanted a close friend like that.

    But, a couple years later I met my wife. She looks the spitting image of that girl, only a bit older. Maybe my memory is playing tricks on me after two decades, but I do explicitly remember first time seeing her thinking “she looks like that girl from my dreams”.
