Maybe I'm manifesting in my sleep

Manifesting a boyfriend type that is. And as an aside, the word boyfriend is one I hesitate to use, being that I'm almost 30-fourteen and all, because it sounds like I'm into really inappropriately young boys. On the other hand, "man with whom I share my bed" sounds really pretentious and stuffy, and I try not to be those things either. So, boyfriend it is in terms of terms.

Anyway, this morning I woke up at the almost unheard of hour of 6:50 (at this time of year anyway, since I wake up when the sun hits my room, in the winter I'm usually sleeping until 7:30 or so), with the distinct feeling that I'm not alone in the bed. I felt like there was an arm around me, lightly but definitely there. So I opened my eyes and checked and I was, as usual, alone in the bed. Just me and my pillow. Which is good, because I generally think it's best to wake up the way you went to sleep, especially if you went to sleep alone. At the same time, it was kind of sad; made me remember that I miss sharing my bed (and sharing my life) with someone. Which is why I think maybe I was manifesting a boyfriend type in my sleep and I just woke up too soon for him to be real.

Hmm, perhaps I should go back to bed?

If this works....

Let me know - I'll take sleeping pills if I have to. I'm man-hungry enough to try anything!
