Running Into Someone You Just Dreamed About

Dream meets daylight.

You dreamed about them. Maybe last night. Maybe earlier this week. You hadn’t thought about them in years or maybe they’ve been on your mind more than you'd admit. And then today, there they are. Across the produce aisle. Turning the corner in the parking lot. In the same elevator. Your mind scrambles. Did you speak in the dream? What was the context? Are you supposed to say something now? It’s more than coincidence. It feels like the universe poked you on purpose.
