history

I dreamt that I was visiting a nice family. I had known them from when I was younger (in the dream). They had a nice cozy house, unpretentious but nice. I had known one of their sons I think. It was snowing and it seemed to be around the holidays. They were having a bit of a get together. I felt welcome and comfortable. It was such a nice feeling. A few boys showed up... now men I guess, since we were all the same age. There was something nice about re-meeting someone you knew from the distant past. You didn't have to start all over, didn't have to "be" anything... you had history and that was enough. We played in the snow a bit, snowball fight for old time's sake and then went back in the house. I went into the kitchen where one of the mother's offered me some eggnog (although it oddly tasted fruity like juice). I must have made a face, as they asked if I liked it. I assured them that it was one of my favorite drinks of the holidays. I noticed that I had tracked in some tree bits from outside. I went to go clean it up and apologize, but they were lackadaisical about it.

Then it was time to leave. I was a bit sad to leave, but also hopeful for my future. I realized something new that I had wanted in my life besides a career, a home, etc. Something much more satisfying and I was looking forward to getting it.
