The Dream That Found Her: A Love Story Written by the Universe

The Dream That Stayed

When I was seventeen, sleep-deprived from the stress of school and consumed by late-night thoughts, I had a dream that I could never forget.

In the dream, there was a cherry blossom tree, its petals swirling around like a spring snowstorm. Beneath the tree stood a girl I had never seen before. She had kind eyes, a calm smile, and a quiet presence that didn’t demand attention—it simply felt perfectly at home.

She didn’t say much; just one sentence, “You’ll find me when you stop looking.”

I woke up with tears in my eyes and a heart that felt inexplicably full.

Life Moved On, But the Dream Didn’t Leave

Years went by. I graduated, faced failures, and experienced success. I fell in and out of love. I missed birthdays but always remembered that dream.

Sometimes, I would write letters to that girl, expressing things I couldn’t share with anyone else. I never sent them; instead, I folded them and placed them in a box labelled “Someday.”

I didn’t believe in soulmates, but I did believe in that feeling.

The Rainy Day That Changed Everything

It had been five years since that day. It was a typical afternoon—gray skies, moody clouds, and a broken umbrella. I ducked into a coffee shop just to dry off.

She was sitting by the window.

She didn’t look exactly like the girl from my dream, but I felt it—the same quiet presence, the same warmth. It was like meeting someone I had somehow already missed.

We started talking. About nothing. About everything. The rain turned into thunder, and neither of us noticed.

When Dreams Meet Reality

Months passed by. One day, I shared my dream with her. She smiled and replied, “That’s funny. I used to dream of someone writing me letters.” We were strangers, yet we felt a deeper connection.

The Universe Has Strange Timing

We often think of destiny as a straight line. However, sometimes it curves, loops, and takes detours through heartbreak and healing. That dream? It wasn’t fiction; it was a promise the universe made to me while I was sleeping.

A Letter to the Dreamer

If you’ve ever had a dream that felt too real to ignore, hold on to it. Perhaps it’s a glimpse of your future, or maybe it’s your soul guiding you back to where you belong.

When it happens—and it will—you’ll recognise it.

You’ll feel it, just as I did.
