I dream of Angela

[swestrup]

I just woke from a long and pleasant dream. It involved many recurring elements such as my parent's house in Kelowna, which I've never actually seen. It also included a visit from Angela Lee my highschool sweetheart. In my dream it was clear that she's one of those recurring elements, as in the dream I was able to recall fragments of other dreams she's shown up in, some clearly going back many years.

I know I've been dreaming of my parents house, in many incarnations, for as long as I can recall but I hadn't realized I'd been dreaming about her as well. If I was to try to psychoanalyze my dream then my best guess is that my parents house shows up when I'm concerned about my financial stability. Angela appears to represent unfinished business as I never really achieved closure with her.

I'm not about to speculate on what, in my dream, my parent's naughty french maid was supposed to represent but it certainly made the dream more, uh, colorful.

"Angela Lee" is an incredibly common name, so I'm surprised you found anything potentially relevant on google. That might be her and it might not. The face is vaguely similar but not very close. Then again, its been over 25 years since I saw her last so she could easily have changed.

You tell me. Do you think that could be the same person who once looked like this:



Way back when I looked like this:

You I'd recognize from your eyes - the spacing and shape, which this photo shows well - almost everything else is subject to change without notice anyways... but lucky you, a 'mustache' in high school.

My daughter laughs every time she sees my highschool photos - she's never seen me without a mustache, white though it is now... maybe I should give her a scare and shave it for a month or two...

Holy Jesus! Do you look different in this old photo. I'm certainly bookmarking this entry and saving that photo.
It certainly looks like it could be the same Angela, looking at the little picture on her real-estate website. Her hair could have been bleached to make it lighter on her current website photo, and it does look dark at the roots. Her eyes look lighter than in the old photo, but you never know. From the face, it could be the same person.

Knowing that you like the oriental look, I was expecting an exotically-beautiful oriental, especially with the last name "Lee". However, she does look good in that photo!

That picture makes her hair look darker that it was. Here's another picture that better shows her hair color (She's the one in the middle, of course):

OK, even better. What about her eyes? Did the yearbook (I guess) photo make her eyes look darker, too? Did she in fact have blue eyes? Even if she didn't, she could be using tinted contact lenses in the real-estate photo, and be the same person.
Also, could you give me the year of your photo (of you) so that I can save that with the photo?

All of these photos are from the end of the school year in 1981. As for the color of her eyes, I have no idea. Being color blind I've long since taught myself never to bother to remember the 'color' of anything as no one will every agree with what I thought I saw anyway.
