Ok, technically speaking it was Dr. Doug Ross. And, while I don't know who dumped whom, I have strong suspicions based on the "well-just-look-at-him" factor.
I had a dream last night, undoubtedly inspired by ER teaser commercials that don't show Mr. Clooney. For some reason I was outside the hospital on a cold, rainy night, waiting for a cab, when Dr. Ross appeared. We had one of those poignant, sweet moments that former lovers share (in movies and on TV, but never in real life, at least not in my experience). You know, the "are you happy?" and "what's new with you?" questions.
Why did I dream about George Clooney? Hell, look at him! The real question is, why did my memory of the dream pop into my mind as I was doing leg lifts at the health club?
According to dreammoods.com, the rain may be a metaphor for tears, crying and sadness. (Naturally, because I somehow let him get away.) Since night is often synonymous with reflection and new beginnings, I think this means that Dr. Doug and I are finally over one another.
Or it could all just mean that those NOAH WYLIE! ERIC LASALLE! ER commercials are just too damn ubiquitous.
These are the thoughts and observations of me — a woman of a certain age. (Oh, my, God, I'm 65!) I'm single. I'm successful enough (independent, self supporting). I live just outside Chicago, the best city in the world. I'm an aunt and a friend. I feel that voices like mine are rather underrepresented online or in print. So here I am. If my musings resonate with you, please visit my blog again sometime.
I'm so sorry! I hope you're able to move on.
ReplyDeleteSorry for your loss. I love ER. I'm gonna miss it...
ReplyDeletei just found your blog from MBC :) I never watched ER actually. Too busy watching my soaps and trash reality shows. Cute blog!
ReplyDeleteI saw the title to your post in my reader and came over to see if you were OK.
ReplyDeleteHow ya holding up?
He dumped you for me, was that the dream???
ReplyDeleteGeorge truly felt bad for this as I have his first hand account of it.
ReplyDeleteI have a love hate relationship with ER and now that it's ending, seems to be a better show. (Although, they could do without the life and death patient every week....)
