Dreams and Figments of My Own Imagination

It's kind of strange to post this but this is the dream I had last night. It was actually very compelling so I remembered it in full detail. I'm assuming this is under the Life category because the dream is in my mind and it thus contains the subject of my being in this little fantasy. I found it funny so I decided to let everybody, who actually reads my blogs to enjoy and explore my mind.
===========================================================

I had a dream last night that I was re-living my Spring Formal Dance. However, the dance took place on a cruise to the Bahamas. The inside of the ship looked exactly like my school. Hey, it's a dream. Anyway, all the students had to have their parents join the ship and the dance. It was pretty much one big party. We enjoyed a nice dinner and a few family games at the tables. Then when the music started playing, I heard You Raise Me Up and said, "Oh, I love this song! I just wish I had someone to dance with though..." All of a sudden, when the introduction finally segued into the lyrics, I heard a voice I could never mistake. It was Josh's!

I kept second guessing myself saying, "No, it can't be Josh. It just can't be. It's a recording! I just know it!" Then my friend Ally comes up to me and says, "Oh my Gosh...LIZ!! Do you know who is here? JOSH GROBAN! He's singing the song!! Hurry up and go talk to him after he's done!" I thought this was some kind of sick joke. All of a sudden, as another singer of the band took over the mike, Josh came over to me but I didn't know because my back was facing him and I was talking to my friends Ally, Stevie and Gerard. He tapped my shoulder and I turned around only to see a handsome man with the most gorgeous blue eyes ever! I was taking aback by this. Josh said, "Hi Liz! Your friend Ally here met me at the American Idol Gives Back show and she asked if I could sing and meet you at your Formal. Surprise! Hahaha." I couldn't speak. I was completely astonished. My Idol, right there in front of me, speaking to ME! Ally then said, "Sorry Josh. She can't speak because she is just so happy you're here! We'll be right back."

Ally takes me by the arm and runs off while Josh is just standing there smiling, while talking to my friends Gerard and Stevie. Ally finally says, "Do you believe this, Liz? This is so unreal!" I hug her and say, "Thank you so much for doing this just for me! You're the best!" We share a best friend moment as many other girls would. Later on, I go to get some punch and see Josh signing autographs for a lot of my friends. My teacher even got a picture with him. Ha ha.

I go back to my table and tell my parents about what happened and they are really excited and happy for me. I tell them how shocked I was and how I couldn't even speak. It was really embarrassing but nonetheless, unforgettable. I chat with the folks for about an hour and then I hear Josh start to sing, "A waltz when she walks in the room...,she pulls back the hair from her face..." I immediately get up and go to the dance floor and watch him sing from those heart stopping vocals. As the words continued to play out of those luscious lips, he sang, "She lifts her hands up to the sky, she moves with the music, the song is her lover, the melody is making her cry...so Liz dances.." He gestured his hand towards me. My heart almost stopped. He came over to me and said, "May I have this dance?" He once again gave the mike over to the back vocalist of the band and started dancing with me. Me being 5'5'' with heels, I was his same height. I said to Josh, "Wow. This is just so amazing! I mean me here with you, DANCING! This is so surreal. You are such an inspiration to me and me dancing with you…I'm so nervous!" Josh starts to laugh and say, "Well, you shouldn't be nervous at all. I'm just a normal guy and I'm glad I'm an inspiration to you. You're a very good dancer." It was obvious that I was blushing like crazy. "Aw, thanks Josh. Can I tell you something? Just try not to get uncomfortable." "Sure! Ask away!" I was hesitant. "Well…Josh, I find you very attractive and from the moment I saw you, I knew I fell in love with you. Your voice also took my breath away." Josh paused a moment and finally said, "Well Liz…that is all very flattering to hear from you and at first, it's very cute and all, but you have to understand that I'm 8 years older than you and if you are inquiring that I should go out with you, it just can't happen." What I heard made me devastated because I knew he would take the news terribly. I said, "Josh, I don't want to go out with you. I just wanted to let you know how I feel about you." Josh felt bad that he said all those misconstrued ideas. He then said to me, "Oh, I'm sorry Liz. I didn't know what I was thinking. We can of course be friends though, right? I'd love to be your friend!" I then smile so widely and say, "Of course we can be friends! This means so much to me!" The song has ended and I hug him tightly. He smiled.

This Spring Formal was something so unbelievably amazing and I'll indeed never forget it. Before I knew it, the dance ended and I was hugging all my friends and saying, "Have a great break. See you all soon!" It was very sad leaving, but happy because this night was just so amazing. I was walking off the ship (which looked exactly like my school) with my parents and Josh runs up to me and says, "It was a true pleasure meeting you, Liz!" I hugged him again and said, "Same here. Absolutely fantastic! You are one of the nicest people I've ever met. Hey mom and dad, can I talk to Josh alone for a sec?" My parents smiled and went into the car. "Josh, you made my formal a blast. Without you, I don't know who I would've danced with. Thank you so much for a wonderful night." Josh replies, "Oh, it was my pleasure. Here's my number if you want to hang out sometime." I say, "Really? Great! I'd love to!" I give Josh one last hug and he says, "Oh, and one more thing…" Josh takes my face in his hands and gives me an incredible kiss. "Bye Liz." He smiles and walks away.
