Royal Dreams

 I usually don't remember my dreams so that I'm remembering so many lately isn't typical.  But I had an interesting one last night.

 

I dreamed I was at some event.  It was somewhat casual - not jeans and t-shirt casual but also not designer gown either.  I was walking through areas that looked to be under construction and decided to sit at a dining table.  I didn't sit at the head of the table but I sat next to the head of the table seat.  No one else was at the table yet.

Then I realize, the Queen of England is headed right towards me and sits at the head of the table next to me!  I greet her saying something with the "your royal highness" or something in it.  At first I wasn't going to say anything else because I didn't think we were allowed to speak to her unless spoken to first but I couldn't stand it and I finally leaned in and said I was so sorry to hear about Phillip.  It was loud in the room so she indicated she wanted me to repeat what I'd said.  She leaned in and put her arm around my back.  I brought my arm around her and then remembered how Michelle Obama got ripped apart for doing something similar during a visit so I pulled my hand back.

I repeated what I'd said and she started to ask something that I interpreted as her asking if I'd lost anyone and I started rambling about how I was married for eight years but got a divorce and how it wasn't exactly the same thing.  She was kind and said it was still a loss.

She spent a good while amiably chatting with me - very kind, very present.  When we got up to leave the table, I asked for a hug!  And she hugged me!

I woke up thinking I had violated so many protocols!  But also that she seemed just so kind and giving.  It was a nice type of dream.

There was another part of the dream with a man who reminded me of Chris Noth as Mr. Big in Sex and the City.  He was kind of detached and left me wondering why he was in my life.  That's all I really remember about his role in the dream.  

Clearly the Queen leaves a better impression.  👑
