The Wrong Eulogy, dream by wombknower -- Nov. 15, 2012
In my dream last night, I eulogized the wrong person during a funeral held in a busy gymnasium of high school students at play. Halfway through my speech, I realized (based on the confused looks of the audience) that I was telling touching stories about someone other than the person who had actually died. Once the realization hit, I promptly switched gears. My words were less engaging when I did, because I didn't know the deceased very well. But I was too proud to admit my mistake, so I carried on as best I could. The mourners were gracious and I, humbled.

Context: Just broke up with a new friend. Both of us felt overwhelmed by the strength an potential of our connection. She didn't have space to engage it while dealing with some other things in her life. In response, I thanked her for her honesty and courage, and let her know that I'd get back to her in a year, because that's how long it takes for me to release, regroup and return. This dream emerged the night after this event.
