So, among my various friendships and moreships and relationships and pirateships, I have one friend who, for almost a decade now⁰, I've had some minor-to-major degree of crush on them.

(This is a little unusual. My crushes tend to be VERYSTRONG...and then fade, and once they fade, they're pretty much gone forever. I almost never keep having a crush on someone over a period of years. Note that I count crush in a very different category from "person who I've built a romantic relationship with" --love is not at first sight, love is the fifty years you spend together afterwards.)

I've mentioned this to them in the past, they're not interested, that's cool, whatever¹. We're still friends, in sortof that slightly tenuous high school way where when we're actually in the same place it's awesome, but neither of us puts significant effort into keeping up with each other online. So, it's admittedly been a couple years since I last saw them, and a few months since I last spent thought on them.

And then they showed up in my dreams last night. Wearing ~*~glasses~*~² which are basically my number one sexy kryptonite^{3, 4} forever, and so dream!me was SUPER RIDICULOUS SWOONING over dream!them. And then in the dream, they rejected my advances again, and I just...yeah.

So I woke up kinda frustrated and amused-annoyed, and hoping that this isn't some sort of ill portent regarding my current short-term crush that I'm trying to make something happen with.

MOOP!

1: One of the best-ever things about being me and or poly is that when people reject me, I can go have mind-blowing sex (or whatever) with one of my established partners and it pretty much completely kills any pity-party for being rejected.

2: It turns out, thinking about it later, that they already wear glasses, so my swooning in the dream was slightly more ridiculous than it already was. But the dream!glasses were very distinctive! I guess that makes them squeeworthy?

3: Assuming "sexy kryptonite" means things that you find so jaw-droppingly appealing that your brain crawls out your ears and replaces itself with an extra drool gland.

4: Other sexy kryptonite for Kat: biting, boys in dresses or skirts, (sometimes) kilts, other...stuff? Yeah.

Only slightly related (related in the sense that it's about dreams and about my brain trying to be Ominous at me): Although I know that I tend to not dream about Woozle (I've had far more dreams with you (actually, I think you are the person I dream about the most, hm!) or Rtizy or Swinger and other people than I have with W), I only recently noticed that almost every single dream W has appeared in have been Worry About Loss Dreams. They'll start out All Right but then W'll either wander off and I'll lose sight of her (after which I'll attempt to call her on my cellphone and always be thwarted by either not being able to remember how to use my phone, not remember her number, or the technology stops working) or we'll have a fight and I'll lose track of her and try to call her on the phone, etc.

I decided the reason why this happens is because I have W In Waking Life, so there's no real yearning in the back of my head (with the cheese & onions¹) to sneak out in my Sleeping Life. But if i'm feeling insecure in my Sleeping Life, I will have Loss Dreams of her.

Which is probably not the best analogy to your dream other than to say, "Hey, I bet you still have that crush going on" which ohright, you already knew that. >.>


1: Cheese & Onions is a Rutles song! It starts:
I have always thought
In the back of my mind
Cheese&Onions

I have always thought
That the world is unkind
Cheese&Onions

Do I have to spell it out?

As someone who's dreamed about an unrequited crush before, I sympathize. Incidentally, I actually (privately) posted an account of a dream I had to my LJ earlier today, an odd (albeit only tangentially related) coincidence.
