My latest dream(from last night) was sad. In it, Y goes blind in the course of helping X on a case. Seeing him in the hospital, on a bed, with his eyes wrapped tore through my heart! X feels a lot of guilt over this, but I comfort him. Later in the dream, Y adjusts quickly to using a cane, though it's hard for me and X to see him use it. I go see him teach a class, and I can see the sadness in many of his students' eyes, eventhough Y tries to make light of it by making jokes. My dream ends on that note.

This afternoon, I went to see Millie teach a class. She really knows how to get the students interested, and is a charismatic speaker. It doesn't hurt that she's got a wonderful smile. After the class, we walked to the cafeteria

"How did you like it?" she asked as we strolled

"It was great! I loved it!" I said.

She also asked me about a couple of my latest projects in progress. I mentioned a few issues I was having with one(I'm not gonna bore you guys with them), and she made some suggestions.

-------------------------------------

As we ate, she remarked that Y's dream about me dating a much younger veterinarian and having another kid had her in stitches.

"What especially ironic is that there are actually professors at -------- who are in their fifties and sixties who do have young kids!" Millie chuckled. "Maybe that was the seed for Y's dream?" She shrugged.

"Could be." I agreed.

As we ate, a few of her students came over to say hi.

We parted after lunch, as she had to meet with a disertation advisee. So, I returned to my office, to get some work done.

--------------------------------

Both of my sons were at the house for dinner. I felt happy!

"How did Millie react to Y's dream?" my older son asked.

"She found it hilarious, and figured that seeing professors my age having small kids put the idea in his head" I replied.

"yeah that makes sense" X agreed.

"Oh...right..." Y said. "A colleague of mine at the math department, just had a kid, and he's got a married daughter about X's age!"

After eating, X watched TV, Y corrected tests, and I finished a crossword puzzle.

Well...it's time for bed. Good night and good luck.

lillysmommy:

First off, your dream was very sad and heartbreaking! What you must have gone through! May you next dream be much happier.

I was glad that Millie didn't find Y's dream offensive, and that she has a good sense of humor.

As always, it's great to see that you've got a great relationship with your two boys!

----------------------------------------

DrFeelgood:You should ask Millie about doing a three way with a pretty co-ed.

Did X get evicted, and you're not telling us? He's in your house all the time! Maybe he's a closet case? That would make this blog much more interesting.

ocgirl:

DrFeelgood: you're such a tool! If you think this blog is so like, boring, don't read it...

Anyway, the dream was sad, and I hope it never comes true.

Threeways can be helpful in relationships, but everyone should be comfortable with it.

ocgirl: ignore Dr. Feelgood. He says crap like that to provoke people.

Like lillysmommy, I hope your dreams get better.

gothchick is right, trolls should be ignore. Anyway, it's good to see that Millie knows how to be a good sport.
