Last night I met her again. At first it was a normal dream. She showed up at some point and started hanging out with me through the entire dream. She would talk to me, but it was like she couldn't hear, see, or interact with any other people in the dream. Like she only knew I was there. At one point I was with her, my wife, and 2 other people. We were walking into a store, her on my left and wife on my right. She put her arm around me as we walked. My wife noticed and was angry about it but I just said "she is just a friend, she's just being silly". At which point my wife didn't mention it again but held my hand. So she had her arm around me and didn't move, like she never heard the conversation, and my wife and I walked holding hands as well into the store. As we entered the door way everyone but her disappeared.

The dream was long and "normal" for quite some time. Then I had to leave for some reason, so I went to visit her in her room to talk one last time. We spoke for a minute and then things became odd for me. She looked me in the eyes and smiled. She said out of no where, "I remember you from last time too, just so you know". I asked what she meant. She replied, "in the last dream, the one where we met a few years ago. And I want you to know that I love you too. But it won't work here". I asked what she meant by here. She replied "You're still asleep. We can't just be together in your dreams, it will just keep ending. Just wake up. I love you too, just go tell me how you feel when you wake up and I swear you will be happier. I love you out there too."

Then we kissed and I woke up. I know other people have these kinds of dreams and feelings too, but I still feel really weird about it. I feel crazy for having deep feelings for a dream person who I don't think I have ever met in real life. My wife and I are not doing well, I cannot trust her after many indiscretions. And I find myself sitting here for hours today being sad, wishing so much that it was real. That I knew this person so I could just say something. Sometimes I hate the joy dreams can cause, because it's not real and can never last past waking up. I'm sure I won't see her again for a long time, if ever.

I have just never experienced a dream person knowing things like that before. It was so strange and shocking to me. It shouldn't be I know, but I have never had it happen before. It was so weird that she had full awareness of me being asleep, but I obviously did not since I was in my dream world.
