Mia lay in bed, the soft glow of her bedside lamp casting a warm light across her room. Outside, the wind rustled through the trees, but her mind was filled with thoughts of a mysterious young man who seemed to invade her dreams every night. He had deep, expressive eyes and a warm smile that made her heart race, and each encounter felt incredibly real.
As she closed her eyes, a familiar excitement washed over her. In her dreams, they shared secret glances and laughter, creating an unspoken connection that lingered in her heart. But every morning, reality pulled her back, leaving her with a longing for someone she could never truly meet.
The following morning, Mia met her best friend Neal at their favorite café. Over steaming mugs of coffee, she couldn't contain her excitement. "Neal, you won't believe the dreams I had last night!" she exclaimed, her eyes sparkling. "It was like a movie! We went hiking in the mountains, and the view was breathtaking. I felt so alive."
Neal leaned back in his chair, a playful smile on his lips. "Your dream boyfriend again? You're really into this guy, huh?"
Mia rolled her eyes but couldn't help smiling. "It's not just a crush. There's something special about him. He feels so real! It's like he understands me in a way no one else does."
Neal raised an eyebrow, teasing her. "Are you sure you're not just projecting your ideal guy onto some figment of your imagination? I mean, he's literally a character in your dreams!"
"I know, I know," Mia said, her excitement dimming slightly. "But it feels so genuine! I just wish I could meet someone like him in real life."
