While I Was Dreaming

As I was lounging in bed last night (brand new sheet set by the way) I was watching one of my all-time favourite movies - ‘While You Were Sleeping’

Another fairytale romance, where a lonely lady just past her prime falls in love with someone she doesn’t even know. Everyday as she sits in her menial job she sees him and conjures up that one day she’ll marry him.

Hilarity ensues and eventually she gets her happily ever after with his brother.. but this however is not my point.

Once again we have a whimsical romantic comedy where I identify with the slightly hopeless leading lady.

From experience I know what its like to fall in love with someone that you don’t know.  To make up a grand love story in your head. Which is easy to do when your lonely. I’ve done it on many any occasion. With people I see on the street to making up a grand illusion that the EX was actually going to propose and we’d live happily ever after.

It’s not healthy.. but then again, sometimes dreaming is better than reality. Because in reality the truth is that I go to bed every night with a banana pillow.  Not that I mind this most of the time.. but everyone needs a little break from reality.
