Can 2 lovers meet in a dream?

Can they?
If they fall asleep together?
Can they meet, greet & dance together?

I believe they can and often do. Especially the ones who can not be together physically. It's both beautiful & tragic, dreams can quickly become nightmares. They can engrose you & trap you in darkness. Your inner self thrown into a ring, forced to face your worst fears.

Why do we dream?
Why do we have both epic tales & nightmares happen there, in the dream world?
How do we gain control?

I can usually control myself in a dream, if it starts to get scary, I can pull myself out. It's a gift I'm proud of.

But there was one time I could not. No matter how hard I tried, I was trapped in a dream, or perhaps, trapped in a world where I was faced with a Liar, a demon. There is little to no other explination for it.

It posed as people I knew, it tried to get me to talk to it. In the dream I was sleeping & became aware of the Liar 3 times. Fear engulfed my heart & I tried to wake up, each time I did, I was in my bed, thinking I was awake but instead, I was still there in that world with the Liar. When I finally did come back to my reality, it looked so much like the dream that I could not move, I just wept & wept. I finally worked up the courage to call someone & understand I had indeed returned. In the last world, his kind tried to surround me, their dark figures in the windows, taunting me, I had to yell at it, I won't speak to you!

The human mind is a great mystery, the world & time & space & dreams & memories are all mysteries...

Today, I talked about Freud & dreams with an amazing new friend. I realize I want to read his work, I've only ever read about him, not his own words. I wonder if I can find a book store open today?

It's Thanksgiving, a day to take the time out and say what you're most greatful for.

My family, including friends (old & new, past & present) and for the air I breathe.
Thank you too.
