Dreaming My Dreams With You
June 27th, 2008 @ 8:31 am by Mrs. Hummingbird
What I am about to write will probably make me sound like more of a Loon than a Hummingbird (ha ha bird joke), but two years before I met Mr. Hum, I had a dream about him.
Now normally I pay no attention to dreams, but this particular one was so clear and the sensations were so strong, that I wrote it down when I woke up.
Basically, the dream consisted of me sitting in a canoe being paddled out onto a crystal clear lake. Because the sun was shining from behind the person who was paddling’s head, I could not see his face or what he truly looked like, but I felt so warm and safe and happy that I knew that this was someone that I loved.
A couple of years passed and the dream faded to the back of my mind, but I never forgot about it and always kind of wondered what it meant and what its significance was. At the time I had it, I was very single and I had never been in a canoe before, so it seemed kind of like an odd thing for my brain to come up with.
In the Summer of 2004, I met Mr. Hum by chance online. Having just had two kind of crappy relationships back to back, I told myself that if I was going to get back into the dating game, I would keep things casual and just date a bunch of people until I felt like I was ready for a relationship again.
Of course, this did not end up being the case since, on our third date, Mr. Hum invited me to go up North with him to meet his entire family. Not only was I nervous to meet thirteen of his relatives all at once, but the idea of going up North and somewhere woodsy was a little daunting since it had been years since I’d been camping.
Lucky for me, the place we were staying was a house and was gorgeous, so in lieu of setting up the tent and doing camp chores, we got to do fun things like play bocce ball and go fishing. We’d been there for a while when Mr. Hum invited me out on the lake for a spin . . . in his dad’s canoe. When we hit the lake, all the sensations were so familiar, I was having major deja vu. It was official - this was the guy.
It’s been six years since I had that dream and four since Mr. Hum and I got together. He was the first person I said I love you to, the only person I have ever said I love you to, and tomorrow, I’m saying it again in front of everyone else I love. It’s a pretty awesome feeling.
See you on the other side, ladies.

Miss Hum, how wonderful to read of your lovely story, I too had a dream similar in that the feelings and the light source was behind his head. I did not know this could be a Good Sign truly until this moment. Thank you for sharing and May God bless your union………

oddly enough, i had a dream about my now-husband back when he and i were both dating other people (and barely knew each other at work). we were on an abandoned road and everyone who had been with us disappeared…he held me tightly and told me he loved me more than anyone else in the world. like you, i felt so safe and happy and i knew this was someone i wanted to spend my life with. crazy stuff!
WOW…I’m also teary eyed over your story!
Congratulations Miss Hum!! Have a wonderful day tomorrow!

Are shorts considered too casual for your wedding’s dress code?
