Strange dream...

I had a pretty strange dream last night. I don't remember much about it except for the last maybe 10 minutes. I do know that in the dream, Jake and I were getting married. But, the priest or whoever was marrying us didn't seem to have everything in order and he left some important parts out (like the exchanging of the rings). So, Jake and I were standing in the lobby (I'm guessing it was of the church we were married in) and he pulls my ring out of his pocket and we exchange rings, each saying a little something while we put the rings on each other. I can't remember exactly what I said, but it was to the point of, "As long as this ring is around, I will be, too." The way I said it in the dream was a lot more romantic and poetic, but I can't, for the life of me, remember what I said.

The strange part about this dream, besides the whole marriage thing, was that the ring Jake put on me, when he first put it on my finger, appeared to have little green spikes coming up from it. I'm not really sure what significance that has, but the next time I looked at the ring, they weren't there anymore, and I remembered commenting to his mom that I thought he had given me a ring with spikes on it. I really don't know what that was all about.

But, this dream made me realize something. The wedding was a lot like our relationship...we argue quite a bit and nothing ever seems to go as planned, but at the end of the day, we're still together and we still love each other. In the dream, at the end of the day, we were married and no matter how well (or not) the ceremony went, it didn't change that fact.

I still don't really understand the point of the dream, but it did give me hope that, if we do marry sometime in the future, that we might be happy. It may be from all of the weddings that are coming up in the coming year that made me have this dream, but it kind-of caught me off guard because usually the guys in my dreams don't have a face, and this guy that I married was definately Jake. I'm not sure how to take it, so I've decided to take it as a good sign for the future.
