There is a man here, a good friend of mine and Lakota activist, who had a dream about me last night. He has been given many dreams throughout his life and says that he has the gift of interpreting them. This is the dream that he had:
He (we'll call him Teton) was at a wedding--my wedding--along with his mother and my fiance. Now Teton's mother died a few years back. She has come to him just a handful of times in dreams, always to deliver a message. He said that her coming meant that her message was important and powerful. Anyway, in this dream, there is a big beautiful wedding cake, covered in candles. Teton's mother asks him to help carry the cake, but when he does, it simply crumbles in his hands. His mother laughs at this. Apparently there is a bit more to the dream, but he didn't expound upon those details. He did say that he clearly saw what my husband looked like, which of course piqued my interest (though I shan't tell you what I learned).
But the dream disturbed me, I am not going to lie. Of course, I immediately deduced that the crumbling cake symbolizing the impending doom of my marriage or of an engagement. And since I am already terrified by the thought that I might have a bad marriage, it unsettled me.
I will admit though, that his next few predictions made me think that perhaps he didn't have such a gift after all. He said that I was going to meet someone tonight. This special person and I were supposed to me at the movies. In fact, he said in a rather cocky manner "Which movie are you going to see tonight." I was getting annoyed and snapped back "None! We are staying in Room 170!" What made me so annoyed, you ask? Well, he told me that name of the person I was supposedly suppose to become romantically entangled with--and it was the father of one of my students! I was absolutely horrified. What shocked me all the more was the fact that he attributed my horror to being caught with a secret crush. It was mortifying for multiple reasons, not the least of which being the impropriety of caring on with the father of one of my students.
Ironically, I did meet that individual tonight. He dropped off his sleeping bag for our sleepover. It was a bit awkward since I still had the 'prophecy' still fresh in my memory. However, I assure that there were no sparks flying!
So, what do you think? Would you attribute any weight to this dream?

I'll send a few goats your way for the dowry! Ha. Call you soon.
Since you asked...
Of course you should not attribute any weight to this dream, but you know that already. I think that much of what is considered prophesy consists of people who are intuitively good at making guesses and observing responses so they can follow up with more accurate guesses. I think the person in question here is none too good at his "art" and goes out way too far on a limb with his wild guesses. I think your intuition is a lot better than his. And I think you will do just fine in the area of marriage, whether or not you end up married. And I think you should try as much as possible not to worry about it, because you are an intelligent, wise, capable, and attractive young woman. But maybe you can nab those goats anyway?
