Quick dream

[sistermagpie]

I wanted to throw this dream out to anybody who is interested and has thoughts on these types of things. My writing partner had it last week. I don't often show up in her dreams, though when I do she says I'm usually myself and play a fairly positive role. She tends to dream in very bold metaphors, and usually I can get a sense of what the dream's about. The other night, though, she had this dream and it turns out it's a recurring one.

It's very simple: We are both children in the dream, and I have stopped speaking to her.

That's it. One thing she knows is that it is a "fear dream." So it's about some kind of fear.

I figured I'd just throw it out to see how that simple thing struck people--it feels almost like a fanfic challenge, doesn't it? The only details I'd guess I'd add about our real lives is that in reality we obviously talk a lot. Oh, and also she is about 20 years older than I am, so being children is something we never did together.

The rejection really does seem to be something that goes along with us being children, and the "not talking" does sort of make me think of, as over-used as this word is, a "muse." Like, not that I am her muse but that when we talk together we produce books for children.

There's something about losing a friend as a kid that's just so much more primal than losing a friend as an adult, and it seems like that's definitely more what the dream is about.
