This was a dream I had involving a girl that I’ve never met before, but I might have seen her in a movie or tv show. It was nighttime in some city. The lights were bright, the skyscrapers were shooting up all around me, and I was walking hand in hand along something like the Chicago River with this girl. I couldn’t help but keep thinking “she doesn’t like me in that way” but I didn’t let go of her hand because it made me feel safe. She had long, straight, dirty blonde, beautiful hair unlike mine. Big brown eyes, perfect bow lips, just a very classically pretty face. She reminded me a bit of Audrey Hepburn except that she was taller and quite thin. She was wearing jeans with holes in them, and converse shoes that I really liked. She was wearing a light jacket too, it was purple. Her nails were painted black, and I admired them when we walked with our hands together. To any one else, she would have looked normal, or only slightly attractive. But to me something about her made me think she was the most beautiful thing I’d ever seen in my entire life. At one point she kind of turned to me and pulled me into a hug. I don’t know why but her hair was wet, either way I kind of just nestled my chin into her shoulder. She asked me “I’ve never been with a girl, but I think I want to” and she pulled away a little. I knew she was going to kiss me, or maybe I was going to kiss her, but it was an amazing feeling. She kind of looked down at my neck or something and then asked me: “does this count as a first date?” I think I nodded. Well, right as she was leaning in and my eyes were closed, my alarm rang. I remember groaning in that dream because I could hear it, and I was still asleep long enough to watch her smile, sit down on the ground with her feet over the edge, and take my hand to pull me down too.
