The other night I had a dream.
A dream about the engagement ring.
Allow me to set the scene. Okay, just kidding. I don’t really remember the scene but I was sitting in a living room minding my own business when the mister pops in and tells me how he got my engagement ring. He hands it to me and lets me try it on. I’m excited and then open the box.
It was the gaudiest thing I had ever seen.
I don’t really know how to describe it except to say that it was gold, almost big like a class ring , and the center had this piece that had “believe” inscribed on it with a small stone that I could flip over, like this:

I tried it on and the darn thing barely fit; it made a sizeable indentation on my finger. I don’t think I really said anything about liking it. The mister wandered away and I sat there, staring at my hand and finally declared it absolutely horrible. At that point I didn’t know what to do. I didn’t have the heart to tell him that I hated it but I didn’t want to wear it, let alone own it. After some indecision [I was sitting at the coffee table looking around pitifully], I finally pulled it off and hid it in his closet while he was outside. Because obviously hiding the ring in the closet made perfect sense.
The ring really left an impression on me because when I woke up, the first thing I said was, “That was one gaudy ring!” And for a few hours afterward I still couldn’t believe how ugly that ring was. You know something special happened in your dream when you have the same reaction awake that the you had while dreaming.
Thank goodness I know the mister has much better taste than the dream him. Plus, we have gone shopping together so he knows what I like so there’s really no reason to worry about getting a ring I don’t like.Whew, what a relief.
Has anyone else had a dream about your engagement ring before the proposal?
