I am actually pretty happy right now. Pretty happy in the day time, that is. Last night I had a dream. A dream about a friend who revealed herself as not a friend. At least she did in the dream. This would be the same friend who launched into a who "thing" to FL about how we need to be together. I told you guys about that right? OK.

I don't recall the exact details of the dream. But I recall that in it, she was completely foul and maybe even a stalker. A bit of background on this friend. We've known each other since college. Linesisters in fact. She's a year younger than me but I never considered her a little sister. Not because she wasn't little sisterish but because I'm used to being the youngest in my regular social groups and I never like being treated that way. And, I've never had a little sister relationship even with my own little sister so why go having those relationships now?

This friend has imitated me in nearly everything I do. I get new car, she gets her parents to get her a new car. I go to graduate school, she goes to graduate school. I get electronic appliance from boyfriend as gift, she tells her boyfriend to get her the same thing. For goodness sakes, she moved right across the street from me. I get my hair done a certain way, not only does she copy but she goes to my salon!!! I think you get the picture.

I know what you're thinking: Single White Female!!! Right? I know!! Except that I'm Black but all the other variables are pretty much the same.

So you can see why this dream freaked me out. I'm one of those people that has either really abstract dreams (penis on shin) or really specific dreams. I look for the meaning in the abstract dreams but the more realistic ones' meanings are evident. Don't you think? It's obvious that there's something new she's trying to copy and hurt me in the process. I think back to any information I've given her about my life. I don't think she has ready access to any of my men--except for FL because she knows his first and last name. Damn!
