The Right Vase

I’ve had this recurring dream a few times where I am in a department store shopping.  I am looking in the home department, for a vase or planter for my house and I have something specific in mind.  I see many other vases, the shelves are lined with them.  Some are colorful, others are drab.  Most of them are a green-ish gray color.

In my dream I am getting frustrated because I think this is probably my fourth or fifth trip to the store and all I see are the same vases and none of them are the one I am looking for.  The vases are fine, they are attractive and useful.  Each one has good qualities, but none of them are “the one”.

You know where I am going with this, right?

Clearly I must be looking for someone else to fill the now empty void of love in my life (although, in reality I am not currently doing that).

I wonder if when I find him some day, in my dream, I will also find the right vase.

Only time will tell.

p.s. count yourself lucky if you never have to go vase shopping again…
