I had a dream...
I want to say it was Thursday two weeks ago. I'm trying to eliminate all sorts of worthless scraps of paper, so I'm translating the strange scrawl that I wrote when I awoke to memorialze the dream. I don't remember much of it except what I told Stephanie at the time: it was all people from the group i was in at Great Shepherd after college. They were a good group of people; it's a real pity that I've lost touch with all of them.
Here's what I remember: Gas was $1.89/gallon but somehow $2.02/gallon elsewhere -- prices that are presently unheard of. There's something about someone named Monica on the piece of paper... I don't know anyone named Monica and there wasn't anyone like that in the small group.
Now, the clearer part.
I saw Mark from small group and he suggested that we get together the upcoming Monday. I was kind of hesitant, because I think I'd already made plans with Stephanie. Slowly but surely other members of the small group appeared in the dream, the Kerricks and Lindsay. I particularly remember the Kerrick's baby. Another strange memory was that everyone caught on to the fact I was hesitating to say okay to hanging out with Mark on Monday. And one of the women (either Lindsay or Sarah) in the group asked, "so who's that girl you've spending a lot of time with recently?" I answered "Stephanie, she's my girlfriend."
There's two more details I wrote that aren't coherent with this part. One is that I said Sarah realized I have a girlfriend, and there's no sense of "realizing" when I stated it clearly. Second there is an odd detail about the pastor's wife indicating I should make myself clearer or something.
And finally the odd two word fragment "ask out." This is the most inconsistent piece of it all in light of the clear part. I think most of the time dreams are just how our brain adds and stores memories interacting with our mind in some weird way because it's not normally awake at the time.
I welcome any thought on this.

I remember Alex Kirk, but who was Mark Williams. I knew the Mark Williams from the chai house, but when I try to see Mark's face I see Alex Kirk. Who was he?
OMG, as far as the gas prices you dreamed the future.
I believe dreams do contain information we need in our life.
"ask out"......look up the word "scout" and see if any of the definitions might pertain to your current life situation.
After waking up from a dream....don't worry about what can't be recalled.....only what you remember is important.
I'm not saying God speaks in dreams, or that we should obsess over dreams. I believe they are simply nature's way of telling us things we need to know, and they can help us problem-solve.
