If you dream about someone, should you tell them?

If you've read my logs, then you'll know that I dream a lot (usually at night!). I'm not sure why but my dreams are packed with humour, action and intensity. Quite often I see people from my life, both real and virtual, in my dreams. 

Last week, I dreamt about a renren 'friend'. I put friend in hyphens because many people don't consider online friends to be real friends. My jury is still out on that but, in many ways, I feel much closer to some online friends than I do with most of my real life friends. I guess I should use the word 'acquaintance' instead of friend, at least in this case. 

The dream itself wasn't bad or wild, just a meeting while cooking with someone on my list. She wore a red dress, which seemed significant to me for some reason and there was something to do with football. I rememeber that I scored a touchdown, as a matter of fact. The next day I wrote a private message to my friend on renren and told her about the dream. No response came back. Then I started to wonder, as I always do, if I should have said anything. Maybe she thought it was weird that I messaged her. Hell, I would want to know if someone dreamt about me. Wouldn't you? It didn't mean anything, I mean I don't even know her at all, other than her pictures and a few messages. 

The week before, I had dreamt about another friend, a co-worker that I hadn't seen in years. She was actually my boss at one time. After the dream, I wrote to her on Facebook and told her what I dreamt about. She laughed and we shot a few messages back and forth. It was nice, nothing significant at all. 

So, the question of the day is: Would you tell someone that you dreamt about them? Is it important to know? You know where I stand on that. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I've crossed some cultural barrier here. Hahaha. I am always crossing some invisible barrier, right? 

I should start writing down my dreams and tell you about them. It might be interesting and revealing. Maybe someone could pick out a pattern or meaning in them. 

Thanks for reading? Do you dream? Some people don't. Let me know. I love your comments.
