Then I had another dream (I think it was a continuation of the other one) where me and my *dream* gf were in a living room with my nephew, some of his friends, and my mom and dad. And we were all watching TV and that. And what was REALLY nice was that I was able (and felt comfortable) to be sitting close to my girlfriend like a real couple would. In the dream my mom was in the kitchen getting something and I was kinda worried thinking whether or not I should sit close and just be or if me and my gf should just separate so we don't make my mom uncomfortable. But in the end I was just like eh, who cares? "I like sitting close to you and I'm comfortable with you and I don't care who knows it." So, my mom walks in and sees us (knowing full well that we're together) and she just smiles at us (like she's genuinely happy to see us together), sits down, acts normal and just starts talking about whatever to my dad. In the dream it was like a relief. It was like I had been accepted, WE had been accepted. It was such a nice warm feeling I can't even explain it :)

It's amazing what your dreams can make you feel. Now, if only my dreams would come true ;)
