The dream started with a girl I used to love . We had been separated for a long period , but somehow, against all odds, we finally crossed paths again. Things just clicked, and we got back together. We made plans to go out and see a movie, and naturally, her elder sister came along with us

Even though we live in Pune, dream location was in Mumbai. We went to board a crowded Mumbai local train, and as soon as we stepped inside, I spotted a very close friend of mine ,let's call him 'A'. The girl knew him too.

I sat down next to him, genuinely confused, and asked what he was doing in Mumbai. At first, he dodged the question and said something I can't quite remember. But after some pushing, he finally admitted he was seeing a girl and was in a relationship ,

I was completely shocked. This is a guy who has always been fed up with relationships , the absolute last person I’d expect to be dating anyone , Naturally, I reacted the way any best friend would: "Saale, mujhe batata hi nahi!" I threw some generic, friendly abuses at him for keeping me in the dark.

I looked over at my girl. She smiled, looked right at 'A', and announced, "We are together again now, too."

Then, she reached over and took my hand.

Her fingers and palm were smaller than mine, and it just looked incredibly cute. She gently slipped her fingers between mine, fitting them perfectly like a key & a lock

I cannot overstate how powerful this felt. A wave of absolute warmth and peace washed over me. It wasn't just physical contact , I’ve never experienced anything like it. No kiss, no hug, no physical intimacy could ever come close to the pure, unadulterated romantic feeling I felt in that split second of just holding her hand. It felt entirely perfect.

My friend 'A' then handed her a Pokemon keychain as a gift. I laughed and told him, This just happened yesterday for us, unlike you, who’s been secretly dating for God knows how long!

And right at that moment, I woke up.

I was left lying in bed, feeling incredible but incredibly confused. I know exactly who my friend 'A' was in the dream, but I cannot confirm the identity of the girl. Was she the girl I actually loved in real life? Or was she that cute classmate from way back when I was a kid? My mind blurred her face, leaving me only with that lingering, unmatched feeling of her hand in mine.

PS: I have actually never been in a real relationship in my entire life. I did have a situationship once, but that is a completely different, massively complicated story. It’s a vast, wild ride from the POV of a guy who has been insecure his whole life. If this post gets enough upvotes, I’ll drop that story next.

Has anyone else ever woken up missing a girl from a dream they can't even identify ?
