The Love Meter

Well, I had a dream last night. You might think what is there to talk about dreams. In my case, dreams are rare. I could say even sleep itself is rare. Yeah, I haven't forgotten the advice about drinking a glass of milk but I don't like milk!

In this dream, me and my wife are together. We are generally cleaning up the room and rearranging things. We talk and generally fool around like 2 friends who are quite comfortable in each others company. She is dressed in a black gown, sleeveless thing. I don't remember her facial features (It is only a dream). She is slim. The point is, an average woman and not a remarkable beauty. She suddenly draw my attention to the Love meter sitting nearby. The thing has got electrode/probes which one attach to the body before being kissed. The reading is noted on a digital display. She want to test my love. She attach the probes to her and I kiss her. We look at the display and it reads 40. We laugh together. I am drawn by this laughing face so close by. I see the woman, her laughing face. The lips so near. I see nothing else. I kiss her again ever so gently. Now I lose all senses. There is an unexplained gap in the dream where nothing happens. I am brought back to reality by her gasp. (Why do women have wandering minds?) I look in to her eyes and follow her look. The LM display is racing up. We see 128, 146 flashing by and as we look at it, it peaks at 178. I can say I didn't put an effort in to the test. I didn't even think about it. Like tasting something delicious, or watching something superb, enjoying some great music..She smiles at me, and lean in to kiss back. I joke that I haven't got the probes fixed on me when she snatch away the contraptions away from her and throw them away.... And then I wake up.

Later, when I am combing my hair, I watch my face closely. Sure enough, I can feel and almost see it on my lips. A mouth ulcer coming on the bottom lip close to the outside. I get them when I don't get good sleep for a few days continuously.

BTW, is it ominous getting these weird dreams so close to the Valentine's Day?
