"Are YOU The Girl I Dream About?"

Everyone has an occasional dream, but I'm one of those people who is always dreaming!  I used to have different kinds of dreams, but lately I keep dreaming of this one very special girl and it's driving me crazy, cos I don't know who she is or where she is - and I'd love to find her!

I'd like to tell you about this girl - and describe her to you.  If you recognize her, be sure to let me know, cos she's on my mind all the time now - even when I'm awake - and needless to say, I've just got to meet her one day!

THOSE INTIMATE MOMENTS - Every night when I go to sleep, I dream about this "certain girl".  Sometimes she and I are running across a meadow together hand-in-hand - and other times we're swimming in the beautiful Pacific Ocean in the glorious California sunshine.  In my dreams, we do a lot of different things, but no matter what we do we're always happy, the setting is always romantic - and I always wake up just as we are about to kiss!!

Sometimes we sit and talk for what seems like hours and we share our deepest thoughts, secrets and fears.  She never laughs at the silly things that may be troubling me.  She's the most understanding, most wonderful girl in the world.   And you know what? - at other times we don't talk at all, but that doesn't matter cos there are moments when words just aren't necessary.  She seems to sense these times - just the way she senses my moods.

SHE NEEDS ME! - The girl in my dreams is totally feminine in everything she does and says - and there's nothing phony about her!   She doesn't put on any airs and she cares for me and loves me just for myself.   She even accepts all of my faults, and she never nags or mistrusts me!  I guess that's why we never have any arguments or bad times together - no matter where we are or what we're doing.

She's a little shy, yet she has a mind of her own and she can be very independent if necessary - but she's not at all pushy!  I don't even mind it that she's a tiny bit awkward.  I wouldn't want her to be perfect!  In fact, I find it kind of nice that she isn't perfect - that makes me feel very protective toward her.  It also makes me feel that she needs me - as much as, if not more than, I need her!

HER FACE? - The strange thing about my "dream girl" is that I've never really seen her face!  Maybe that's because it's not her features that make me care about her - it's all the wonderful things she is and does that intrigue me.  I've always believed that rue love is based on more important things than what a girl looks like - and these dreams have made me realize even more how really true that is!  When and if I ever find this girl it won't matter how she looks, and I won't care if she has long or short, blonde or red or brown hair.   The important thing will be the groovy relationship we have with each other.   She probably isn't a raving beauty and she may not even be considered pretty through anyone else's eyes, but that doesn't matter either - cos as far as I'm concerned, she'll be the most beautiful girl in the world!

MY SPECIAL SOMEONE - Well, there you have the description of the girl in my dreams.  And all I know is that I find myself looking for that "special somebody" more than ever now!  I sometimes get very lonely and wish I had her for a steady girlfriend.  However, because this girl haunts my thoughts so much, I sometimes wish she'd go away - but then I think of how much I would miss her, and I drop that thought and start looking forward to my next dream!   I guess what I'm really hoping and wishing is that "my dream girl" will suddenly come to life, appear before me, walk into my arms - and just be happy being "my girl"!!
