I dreamt that I was at my school eating a meal at a picnic table and just enjoying the beautiful weather alongside peers. I walked into a building and waited for my class to start and someone poked me on my right shoulder. I turned around and the person revealed himself to be a fellow Aspie from my middle-school years who was a friend.
At first, I thought he was just a hallucination, but my Aspie bro proved himself to be real. He asked me, "Why didn't you tell me what happened?" I asked him, "Dude, why are you here after all this time?"
He said back, "I just want to know what you've been up to for the past ten years and by the way bro, that girl and you are a great couple and do you want to get a bite to eat later?"
I walked into the classroom and the dream finished.
Reality:
For the majority of my adolescent years, I was friends with a fellow Aspie who like me and other misfits was often bullied by peers and ostracized by faculty. We looked out for each other, but often made things worse. We almost went to the same high school, but my Aspie friend ended up going to a different high school.
Shortly after I graduated from high school, my mom told me to never see him again because she believed he was gay. In fact, my Aspie friend was not gay because he lived a very sheltered life with his father so I don't think he would have understood LGBT people very well.
