I Fell in Love with a Girl Named Alice

Date: 4/28/2020

In last night’s dream I fell in love with a girl named Alice. I was at a sleepover pool party and my Mom had pushed me into the pool. I complained that I didn’t bring any shampoo and conditioner when a girl came up to me and handed me hers. She had long, straight orange hair. I can’t remember her facial features but I remember her being soft. Feminine in every way, yet still plain. She felt like the girl next door, a childhood friend. She had a sweet smile and wore a silver cross necklace. She could speak, but she was deaf. Even still we somehow understood each other. Looking into her eyes I understood how she felt, and I knew when she looked into mine and took my hand she felt the same. By holding my hand she gave away her ability to communicate, she knew she didn’t need to when she was with me. I cursed myself for dropping out of that ASL class years ago regardless. I’ve never felt so understood and validated by someone before.
