1st dream in many days

Date: 9/5/2024

I remember it was a pleasant afternoon. I met up with a friend I’ve only seen in person a couple of times. I think I was trying to stay safe and feel better. We were outside a shed or barn type building. We went inside after hugging. Then we stood in there just holding each other in that same hug. I remember being there, and rubbing his back a bit with my hands whilst hugging him. I recall we looked at each other a few times and said a few words but mostly just holding each other. Like it had been so long and we wanted to just hold on to one another. It was gratifying. Idk what it means, because I’m married and it wasn’t my husband, but I was happy to dream and not have flashbacks nightmares. I enjoy going lucid, but this dream felt very real and minutes went by where we were just holding each other. I could feel him. I could hear my hands moving across his shirt. It felt safe and peaceful. We were grateful to see each other. I awakened to the pleasant memory of this and it felt real still but I realized it was a dream and not something I had actually just done irl. Pleasant dream.
