Dear Abby and Dreams

In today's Dear Abby column, a woman wrote out of concern for her dreams. She said she often dreamed about this thing or that thing, but she never dreamed about her husband. Should she be worried? Abby said no--the pattern was that the things the woman dreamed about were all in her past, and her husband is in the present.

This got me thinking. I very rarely dream about people I know in real life. My dreams are often populated with people, and in the dream I know them, but they don't exist for real. I dream about Darwin McClary or the boys or other family or my friends only very rarely. I've always wondered why this is. Just a quirk of my brain, I suppose.
