I dreamt about you.
Last night, it was.
Strange.
Surreal.
Unhinged.

Images of you.
Filling my head.
Disguised.
Mis-shapen.
Quite mad.

Your face so huge.
Your baguette smile.
Kisses.
Caresses.
Nightmare.

I guess we dream about them because that's the only way they get visitation rights?

Maybe they visit us to remind us to start living, them being the alternative.

Maybe you ate a baguette that disagreed with you? Or perhaps he/she did, it caused an allergic reaction with the result that their face puffed up to the size of a weather balloon, floating them out of your bad dream, allowing you to return to the slumber of a new-born babe.

Or perhaps it served to remind you why you chose not to be near them anymore....perhaps giving you a direction for other decisions perhaps.

.......but probably, I have no friggin' idea

I like the economy of language, but power of expression, so very much. Write on.

I thought that worked well.

Loved the "Baguette smile".

Thanks guys. Not sure where baguette smile came from, but the person I dreamt about has a very wide grin and I did have a baguette for lunch that day...and I'm slightly barking mad....

The bit about the dream which I didn't include was too surreal for any serious writing, though I may have to write something else just to include it - the person in question had a nose full of processed cheese slices! Weird...
