I woke up feeling really good today. Positive. It was bizarre. But I like that its the beginning of a new year and I actually felt good, no pretty great when I woke up. All because of a dream. Here it is......

I walk into a Mighty Taco late at night with this woman I just met. It is near 2 am, when this particular Mighty Taco closes. I don't know the woman I came with too well, I had just met her recently. She is a little shorter than me, has black hair, and is cute. But we come in as friends, or at least people who have just met.

We wait in a long line. She is in front of me and orders and gets her food. I am about to order when the cashier needs to change some high bills for smaller ones. This take about ten minutes, while the woman I came in with sits and starts eating. Just when I'm about to order an old man comes up and needs to have more milk put in his glass. I'm getting a little frustrated at having to wait so long, but just sigh and let him get his milk.

While the cashier is pouring his milk I turn to look at the black haired woman. She smiles. When I turn back the guy behind had just snuck in front of me to order his food. I start getting upset and yelling at him. The cashier tells me to deal with it and I yell at her. I start going into how slow she is and how long this line has been. (At this point it seems to have been well over twenty minutes since the black haired woman ordered.)

A man comes out from the back and tells me I have to go back with him. The black haired woman gets up and comes back with me. They put us in some small room (really a closet) to wait for a minute. There aren't any chairs and we stand. She tries to calm me a down a little since I'm really frustrated and angry.

They come back get us and take us into another room. In it are three people. The man who got me from the front is behind a desk. We sit in chairs on one side of the desk, and across from us sit another man and woman. The man (not behind the desk) starts into me asking what is wrong, and why I'm so upset.

I complain about the wait, the line, the cashier, how long it was between the black haired woman's order and me being able to order, everything. To this he says to me, "Why are you so upset? Why are you doing these things that upset you? Why are doing stupid things in your sad life to be destructive? I think its because you want to die."

I jump out of my chair at this. In the back of mind I wonder if he's right. But I decide to argue with him anyways. I start yelling at him about how he doesn't know my life. He doesn't know who I am. He can't judge me on what little he knows of me. He doesn't know where I'm from, or where I'm going in life. I scream all this, and turn and walk out. The black haired woman runs after me and grabs onto my arm.

We walk through the front of the Mighty Taco where everyone had heard me screaming from the back. They are all staring at us but we don't say a word. We leave out the front doors. Its night and cold outside. As we cross the street she looks up at me and smiles. And then leans in for a kiss.....

I don't why I had such a vivid dream. Or why I was able to remember so much of it. Or why it made me so happy when I woke up. But I'm pretty thankful for it. I'm thankful I got to remember so much of it. It made for a good start to the new year. Or at least let me start the year with positive thoughts in my head.
