I finally received a response from them. Yes, dreams are usually just dreams, but I’ll probably always be a hopeless romantic. 
Recently I’ve had dreams about an old friend. She and I were very close for some years. It’s one of those situations where I have no idea when the change occurred, but change she did, and I’m sure that the conclusion is already pretty clear: We no longer talk. It’s been about a year (give or take) since we’ve had any form of contact.
The dreams that I’ve been having about her lately have been interesting; “hopeful” is certainly one way to describe them, and “naive” is another fitting description. Ultimately, the dreams end with she and I making up after I realize that it was some huge, stupid misunderstanding.
The setting that I remember the most is a coffee shop of some sort, and we’re sitting across from each other while we’re having a somewhat awkward conversation. This may be a good time to point out that she lives in Japan, and in the dream I’m there.
Here’s the thing: I could travel internationally come Spring 2009. My deadline to make a decision about where I’m going is VERY soon: September 10th 2008.
When is a dream just a dream, and when could it be more of a suggestion? It’s superstitious to think that these dreams are anything other than stress produced hopeful figments of my imagination, but I’ll be darned if they’re not giving me pause anyway…
