It's rare that I remember a detailed dream, but that happened this morning. I'm recording it here because I want to remember it.
There were 3 people in the dream other than me. A girl, about 5'3" with really soft blonde hair, straight, which fell to just about the middle of her neck. Her face was really bright and happy, and when she smiled, you could only see the ends of her teeth. The other two characters were her grandparents, two face-less old people who seemed to care a lot for her and were quite protective.
I don't remember the circumstances that got the girl and I involved with eachother, but I remember she seemed really thrilled about me. It was almost a given that we were really into eachother and just decided to go for it. One scene of the dream was us walking down a long hill in the middle of the road (a road from reality that is usually quite busy) with her grandparents in tow, a comfortable distance away. They were walking in an embrace, pleased with what had developed between her granddaughter and myself. The girl and I were walking down the hill and she took my arm and put it around her shoulder. I guess that was all the validation I needed, and from that point on we were really comfortable with eachother.
The dream had us doing some other stuff, I think a restaurant was involved or something. Eventually, it was time for me to get back to my place. We were in my old neighborhood in Clarks Summit (with a few liberties taken by my imagination on the layout) and a stern rainstorm had begun, complete with a bolt of long, jagged lightning across the sky. I was about to cross the road so I could head up my street to home, when suddenly my legs gave out. In the rain, I was struggling with paralyzed legs trying to cross the road in the rain, when suddenly, the girl appeared again, prepared to help me get across.
Unfortunately, the shock of not being able to use my legs tore me out of the dream and I realized it was all fiction. It was nice to experience that full, undoubted acceptance though.
