Cool, bugs can't hurt us while we hug! Thanks Lee.

Your dream does seem serendipitous, Lee! Hugs were our salvation there, and what some of us seem to be craving at the moment. I have had the honor and pleasure to hug three of my fellow Brokies and BetterMostians, but not nearly enough...never enough...
By the way, I had a bittersweet dream this weekend of Alma Jr.'s wedding. Ennis was in attendance there, but he was a sad figure, with the hopes and virility of youth well behind him. The spark of happiness had passed onto Junior, who looked into the future with bright countenance. Ennis receded into the background, like a gray ghost.

I think many people lack hugging even touching in general. In today's world we hardly get to hug or touch another person, especially men. So I think hugging is very therapeutic in many ways. Jack and Ennis definately lacks touching, so when they touch, sparks seem to fly. They seem so at peace when they can freely touch or hug each other. It's wonderful to have this cyber group hug. lol

It is as you say, "bittersweet" but still kind of sad. Ennis is happy for his daughter but he will always think of Jack and regrets about the outcome of his relationship with Jack. In the movie, we see him happy when Alma Jr. said she's gonna get married, but when she leaves, Ennis thinks of Jack again when he sees the two shirts. Your dream seems like an extention of that scene. It's amazing that you dreamt about that. That's exactly how I would imagine when Ennis attends Jr.'s wedding. He'll be there for her so that she could see him, but remains in the background as to avoid other people, especially his ex.

I don't remember dreaming about Jack and Ennis in many months, and I think this was the first "Brokeback" dream of mine in which another character was given prominence. I remember seeing Ennis with the shirts before the scene changed to Alma Jr. standing at the altar--Kurt remained a shadowy, indistinct figure in my mind's eye. There was a song playing in accompaniment to my dream, but for the life of me, I can't remember it. I should have written my dream down; like so many dream details, that element evaporated soon after I had awoken. What I most clearly recall is the expression of quiet, confident happiness on Junior's face.
