Dream, Dream, Dream.

One girl, Two guys.

Are remembering your dreams so vividly normal? Apparently, you are not supposed to remember your dreams. Every dream has its meaning, even remembering your dreams to the point of being so vivid you can't tell the difference if it was real or a dream.

In this bizarre dream I'm in my kitchen with a guy, Matt, we've been friends since we were kids. We were just hanging out, he leaned over and kissed me. I pull back; "Wh-what are you doing?"

"I'm sorry, I couldn't help it."

"What is that supposed to mean?"

"I love you- I'm in love with you."

I have no idea how to respond to this: "Matt, I-"

"No, it's okay, I get it."

"What is it that you get?"

"That you don't feel the same back?"

"What the fuck? I never said that. You also just can't just kiss me, tell me you are in love with me. Then make me feel guilty if I don't respond the way you want. That isn't how that works."

He didn't seem to like that; "Why are you being like this? you can't tell me this then act like this after."

My phone started ringing- It was Logan. Like the Logan from Gilmore Girls, Logan. Matt rolls his eyes and leaves the room.

"Hey, are you still up for that date tonight?"

I go out on the back patio to talk; "Of course Logan."

"Alright, I'll see you at 8!" We get off the phone and I look at the time and it's 4 pm.

"What did he want?"

"Logan? Oh, we have a date tonight. He called to confirm."

"And?"

"And what?"

"Are you going?"

"Of course, why wouldn't I go?"

"Uh, Because I love you."

"I think you need to leave," Matt looked stunned. "Just because you have expressed your feelings, you can't expect me to drop everything- what did you expect? What is it you want from me?"

"Forget it, enjoy your date with Logan," He stormed out.

This stressed me out because yes, I was seeing Logan but I also did have feelings for Matt. But he didn't give me a chance to process anything. While waiting for my date with Logan, I stressed ate 12 cookies.

8 pm rolled around and Logan came knocking with Flowers. He noticed something was off. I told him everything.

"The thing is, I want to be with you. I'm enjoying myself when I am with you."

Logan wasn't too happy with how Matt confronted me with his feelings and thoughts. The way he treated me all together. After our date, he took me home but didn't stay. Said he had a few things to do.

This made me feel guilty like I was cheating, yet Logan and I are not in a relationship. I was disappointed. Maybe he sensed this, kissed me on my forehead and told me everything would be okay.

4 am my phone rings. It's the Police Department.

I go, to find out where Logan had to run off to. As I am bailing out both Logan and Matt out of Jail. Apparently, they got into a fistfight.

"What in the world is going on?"

"Don't you know? Matt loves you but can't stand you being with someone else."

Matt basically just pushes past us and leaves.

I'm unsure if that was an insult to me or to Matt. I can't tell if I did something wrong. But whatever it is I managed to get stuck in the middle of a love triangle. This does feel like I've ruined any chances with Logan.
