March 2003

I did not record this dream at the time I had it, so this is as accurate as my memory allows.

I was at Sarah's mother's condo, sitting on the couch. I was talking to Sarah (who sat on the loveseat) and she looked a little anxious.

"I know, it's completely crazy, and I've been trying to figure out how to tell you..." I said.

It seems that I was trying to explain how I ended up dating someone. When I turned to look at my new boyfriend...it was Patrick Murphy.

The truly shocking things about this dream include that: I had only seen Gaelic Storm twice, met Patrick both times, and wasn't quite a full-blown crazy fan yet...and Sarah had such a huge crush on him!! I would never move in on a guy that one of my friends seriously liked!!! And, besides, how the heck would we have possibly started dating?!

One amazing thing that came out of this dream is an entire novel!! Now, when I dream about Gaelic Storm, and more often than not, Patrick, I accept it completely...just in case it brings about inspiration again.
