Constant, constant the same dream, and always feeling energized and SO happy after

[Khengi]

Well, here's the gist of it: For the past 6 or so months (this is not the dream, this is the real life influencing it), there's been this girl, Stephanie. I've liked her, and she shows signs of liking me. About, say, March, they became really obvious, but she is extremely shy. She always waves at me, going out of her way when I leave her to wave, always smiles, stares at me for long periods of time, and always wants to talk to me. Sometimes it seems like she wants to just talk to me so bad and say a certain thing, but doesn't have the courage to, and simply thinks up another funny thing to talk about after a slight pause that's SO obviously thinking.

Over the more recent months, she's shown an amazing sign of liking me. Where, we know to each other that we like each other now, pretty much. She always talks to my mom and asks so many questions about me, always wanting to be around her, and always wanting to make some form of physical contact with me, seeing as she seems so shy to hug me until I opened up, now she doesn't stop! (not that there's a problem, to this day, she hasn't done or said anything that would ever anger me.)

Now here's where a slight problem comes in. The thing is, we met through Karate. Her mom is my sensei (who actually hinted to my mom, "Who knows, maybe relationships start when they're younger, and they're together when they're older," hinting that Stephanie talks about me at home). The problem isn't my sensei, no, it's the fact that she lives in Illinois, and I in Indiana. It takes a decent hour to get there for Karate (Taekwondo) on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but everytime, I'm greeted by Stephanie ecstatic, and it's mutual from me.

But the BIG problem comes here. In the fall, she may have to enroll in Bloom Trail High School. NOT. GOOD. Anyone who's lived in the Chicago Heights area knows that's one of their worsts schools. Her mom doesn't want her there, but has really no choice, she doesn't want to go... shoot, I DON'T want her to go!

But that's where the dreams come in.

You see, my mom actually owns a school (MEPA), that my teacher and her frequently talks about. Because I'm there, Stephanie always talks to her mom about going SO MUCH. It's always on my mind, literally always. I can specifically remember every day thinking and saying, "Stephanie WILL enroll," because I couldn't think of her in Bloom Trail. A nice girl like her... just no. My mom even said, "I'd give her a scholarship to be here for free, just because." So what's stopping her from getting here? That one hour drive, it just can't be done every morning, seeing as they don't really have a way of doing it because her mom also works at Rich South High School, and her mom, as much as she wants her to enroll in our school, can't handle the drive...

But lately, I've been having constant dreams of her and I at the school, just going about a normal day. My dreams are usually never supernatural with crazy dragons and such. Just normal.

The other night, I dreamed we were out in the Merrillville area of Indiana. She had saw my mom (I was with a few guys from Karate), and she made she to talk to her with the biggest smile and hugged her. Just like pretty much every session at Karate. She found her way to me, as well, as we just normally talked like we always do. I made her laugh, and it ended.

Last night, I dreamed she was at the school this time (at this dream has occurred in literally every dream and night). We did nothing out of the ordinary, but she was just there. Just there, like a student. Obviously I paid more attention to her than everyone else, but she was there! She had the uniform on and all.

I don't know... what does this mean? If I could, I'd work up all the money I could humanly make and give it to my teacher so she could live out here, but that's just a (heh, heh) dream... maybe.

Sorry for the extra long post. Just had to vent some stuff.

Hey Khengi

You're probably dreaming of this girl more and more often, because the situation is so important to you. I've had similar dreams in the past about one specific person, coming up again and again. Seeing her at your school, could be just a reflection of your hopes for how this situation will end, or if you're an optimist you could take it as a good omen.

I hope that things work out the best they can for you and your friend mano.

Good Luck.

I probably could have thought about it harder if I had more details, however, here's what I think:

You could very well be experiencing severe infatuation with this girl. However, it could also be were you attempting to deep down create an ideal situation for the two of you to formulate a meaningful relationship. In that society, there are almost all variables that you control. It's kinda like dreaming where you have set up all the situations.

However this is my other idea:

The fact that she wants to go to your school could mean that you feel like she's trying to come to you for aid. And, by dreaming that she is there, going through regular activities means that you have completed your goal thus making you a hero and probably making you seem like cloud nine in your dreams.

Thats just my ideas. I'm not really good at this yet. I'm sorry if it makes no sense.
