dreaming of kissing someone
The story
I've been having these weird dreams lately. I find myself dreaming about kissing a coworker, someone I barely speak to during work hours. It's strange and frankly a bit unnerving how vivid these dreams are becoming and it's making me question if there's something more beneath them or if it's just my subconscious playing tricks on me. Of course, waking up with this feeling hovering over my mind is not ideal. Work isn't affected per se; productivity's still intact but the way I interact with him does feel strained now, like I'm holding onto a secret that neither of us knows about.
In my dreams, everything feels so real - the setting is usually our office but it lacks any of its usual busyness. He stands in front of me, glancing with a soft expression that's barely noticeable during our brief real-life exchanges. The dreams catch me off guard every time because our interactions IRL are hardly noteworthy, mostly just courteous nods or small talk about ongoing projects... this makes me wonder why my mind chooses him out of all people for such intimate scenarios.
I can't help but question what's driving these dreams: Could it mean something deeper that I'm missing? Or are they just sporadic manifestations from parts of my psyche that I've yet to understand? It's hard to shake off the sensation when real-world conversations come into play as well. Talking to him face-to-face feels different now.... maybe due to an internal monologue constantly reminding itself of nonsensical night-time cinemas my brain conjures up.
My biggest concern stems from wanting things back how they were before these dreaming episodes started affecting daily life. How do you ignore such strong dream states and carry on like nothing happened while not letting any suspicions slip through your social conduct? Keeping professionalism at work has always been key for me yet here I am battling thoughts stirred by silly kisses inside imagined realities;
Maybe there’s no grand conclusion in the end aside from simply experiencing bizarre brain escapades until they fade away naturally... But wouldn’t dismissing them entirely also mean ignoring possible insights into underlying issues within personal emotions? Despite all efforts maintaining rational perspective amidst nighttime nonsense is easier said than done 🤷♂️
