I had a dream....in Portuguese.....kinda :)

For a few weeks now, I have been on an obsessive kick about wanting to dream in Portuguese. Not only would it just be freaking awesome, but it would also be a good indication of my progress. Just a couple of days ago, I mentioned my obsession to André. His response?? "You will. As you learn more, you will." Well that's all fine and good, but dang it, I want to do it now! As I woke up this morning, I remembered having a weird dream. I layed in bed; trying to recall every detail possible from that strangely inaccessible, and almost forbidden storage place inside my brain. This is my recollection:

I am in Brasil, and André takes me to a restaurant for lunch. We walk in, and an employee asks "How many?" André says, "Two." Then the guy says, "How are you all today?" André replies, "Fine." And I say, "Bem." (That was obviously the important part of this story! But, I will continue with the dream because it was just funny.) So the guy takes us to our seat, and I leave the table to go to the restroom. I walk in, and there stands a girl that I went to middle school with! (She moved to Kansas after our 8th grade year, and I haven't seen her since.) But, there she was....in Rio de Janeiro, Brasil....in the same restaurant....in the same bathroom. Then I go back to our table, and André says, "A guy named Stephen came over, and he wants to talk to you." (This was a guy I went to high school with, and I also have not talked to in a while.)

That is all I can remember. Very odd, right?? So, as I was lying in bed this morning, going through that whole scenario.....it hit me. Suddenly. I said "Bem!" Oh my gosh!!!! I said "Bem!" in my dream. Wow! I said a word in Portuguese....in my dream!! Now, you are probably thinking....ummm, it was just one word...what's the big deal? Yeah, I know it was just one word, but it was one more word than I had ever said in a dream before last night! It was a very exciting moment for me. I only hope this happens more and more. I'm not necessarily expecting it to happen every night, but hey, it wouldn't be disappointing if it did! :)
