“So, tell me, what kind of dreams have you been experiencing?” Noah asked me as I served him a glass of Merlot.

“Well, it’s kind of a long story,” I began slowly. I was nervous about relaying them to a perfect stranger. My dreams have always felt so intimate. “I’ve had these dreams my entire life. I don’t think I have time to discuss them now. How did you find me, anyway?”

“Oh, call it a gift.” He smiled wickedly. “It is slow tonight. I bet your boss will grant you a break.”

After about fifteen minutes of working, I found time to sit with Noah. I was regretting my decision to volunteer for this. I sat in the chair across from his.

“Oh,” he said. “I was beginning to wonder.” He ran his hand through his hair. “I’m glad that you can join me. Now, these dreams…”

“I always dream about this girl with blonde hair and the brightest green eyes that I have ever seen. It’s like her soul is shining through them or something. She is beautiful. The weird thing is that, somehow, I know she’s supposed to be me. I don’t know her name. She is always with a guy. He’s tall, dark hair and muscles. I very rarely see his face. It’s just a dark spot where his face should be.” Noah just nodded his head as I spoke. “Though, sometimes I have seen his face. He looks an awful lot like this guy, Demien, which I’ve recently met. It’s so strange. I can’t quite explain it.”

Noah choked on his Merlot.

“Are you okay?” I asked, handing him a napkin.

“Yeah, it just went down wrong,” he said between uncontrolled coughing. “So Demien? What does this Demien look like?”

“He has these freaky eyes that are clear gray but sometimes turn black or even amber. I think I’ve seen sparks of purple and orange. His eyes are like a freaking sunset sometimes. I guess it depends on his mood. He probably has colored contacts like the rest of these lame people ‘round here.” I threw in that last assumption just so I didn’t sound so dumb.

“Probably,” Noah agreed, laughing. “What else can you say about this guy?”

“He is, without a doubt, well built, dark hair, high cheekbones, tall. His skin is wonderful.” I allowed my thoughts to wonder a little.

“I see. ‘His skin is wonderful’, I’m not sure what that means but I’ll take your word for it.”

“That’s my description of him. Except for his eyes, he doesn’t sound like anything unique, I guess. He is unique, though.”

“How do you feel about him?”

“To be honest, I really don’t like him,” I cleared my throat to keep from adding how much I absolutely love him.

Noah kept nodding his head.

I sat across from Noah staring off into the distance. I wasn’t sure what he wanted to talk about. There were so many topics that I didn’t want to discuss. I pondered on what I did feel comfortable talking about.

“What do you guys do in your dreams?” he said, interrupting my thoughts.
