    Non lucid. I'm surprised I remember anything, I slept like crap and my stomach hurts.

    Anyway, Danny took me and Chris to come kind of science/history museum. Reminded me of the kind my ex, Karl, used to take me and Chris. So we're walking around the place, and I notice Karl walking past us. I barely caught eye contact with him before we went in opposite directions. Danny and Chris didn't seem to notice. (A little real life back story: after Karl and I broke up, I met Danny pretty quick and we hit it off quick. A bit later Karl wanted to get back together but I had already moved on. So there was some yuckiness there in the aftermath.) So we continue on walking and I hear footsteps behind us. Without turning around entirely, I peek on the ground just behind us, and I see Karl shoes. He's following us lol! There's a small theater just up ahead that's about to play some little Natural Geographic type short film. So the 3 of us file inside and grab some seats. Karl didn't appear to have followed us inside the theater.

    Later, I have to pee. So I leave the theater real quick to go find the bathroom. As soon as I open the theater door, Karl is RIGHT there. We literally collide and I start to fall over a bit. I grabbed onto Karl's shoulders for support, and am able to regain my composure. He had the most fucked up expression. I put my hand on his face and ask, "Are you alright Karl?" He didn't answer. I continued to the bathroom and he went who knows where. When I left the bathroom (I don't remember peeing or what I did in there lol), I started down the hall back to the theater. I passed Karl AGAIN going the opposite direction. I didn't make eye contact this time and we just kept going our opposite ways.

    Later on in the dream the 3 of us went outside where they had some nature trails. Something else Karl and I used to do alot together. I never saw him again.

    (The dream was a little emotionally powerful, based on how I feel the morning after. I believe the day residue that my brain pulled this dream for came from "How I met Your Mother." Danny and I were watching it last night. We saw the episode where Ted was avoiding that one doctor ex-gf. And what happens? They end up at a restaurant where she just happens to pop in. He's debating on confronting her etc because they're relationship ended kinda fucked up too. My dream reminded me of that episode, or maybe it was actually vice versa.)

      If I may comment on my own dream, I just have to say that I probably feel on some level that my relationship with Karl could have ended better and we could have remained friends. It was hard at first because I tried to. But any time we talked it would turn into a painful, emotion conversation. I couldn't keep counseling him on the phone with Danny in the next room, wondering why his new girlfriend is spending so much time on the phone with her ex. I finally had to make the decision to spend my energy on loving Danny, not being Karl's emotional band-aid. It was a calculated decision, I admit. But I made it rationally. Karl tried to remain friends after that, on and off, texting around holidays and such. I was afraid that if I opened that door an inch, he'd come bursting through again, needing more emotional nurturing after our break-up. In retrospect, he probably really and truly at some point was just trying to be normal friends with me. If he was, then I missed it. And I suppose I regret it. Hence, the dream.
