Thank you Fee. "WE" like the story too, and are still amazed how all the puzzle pieces fell in place for us over the last 20 years. We are still wondering with every letter, how God has brought us together and how many different paths we had to go, only to find eachother!

Since I was taught, to "stay away from the bad guys" I really never considered before to get in touch with someone in prison and kept myself busy with life and everything else that comes with it. Considering that I am from Germany and just moved in 2007 to the U.S this is akward... the dream kept to come visit me alltroughout the years and when I found myself in Texas, having the same dream one more time...I knew it was my time to listen to the voice that was "calling me in my dream". I went online, found this website and the very first profile that came up had his picture. And it was like I have known him for a long time. He looked so familiar...well I wrote him and he wrote back and we both feel like we have known eachother for the last 20 years. We are so much more than Pen-Pals now. He became my friend and I know we are both FALLING IN LOVE. I believe God made us for eachother.

Didn't you just start writing him in June?

Yup, hubby and I feel the same way Too much to be coincidental.

I had a dream where I was justifying penpaling with airport security guard, and another that I was give testimony at his parole hearing and the Judge there said he had to stay in prison till he had better penmanship and stopped reusing stamps.

It doesn't concern you that after a few letters and corresponding less than a month that you feel you are "falling in love" with him?

I can understand how some people may question such strong feelings so soon after first knowing someone, especially if they haven't themselves experienced them - or have but have been played over or just not had those feelings rocipricated. But that doesn't make the other person's feelings any less real or true.

It's more important how the person deals with those feelings, I think. Love at first sight does happen, and does sometimes work out just fine.

Nope. Some people may consider it "only a view letters" but looking at the whole picture and the story itself, it does not concern me at all. But I can see why you ask me that. If it would be the other way around I would be wondering too.

i had a dream my PP didnt want to leave prison when I went and picked him up( which i cant do anyway)... he wanted to stay in there and hang out with the nurses... so I kicked all of their asses including his and walked out - head held high. Haha... but I have also had a dream that when he got released I put him in a claw foot bath full of herbsfrom a curendera and all of his years of torment , struggle and pain started flying off of him in the shape of moths and butterflies... I shared both of the dreams with him, he loved one and told me I was crazy - for the other one.. he tells me Im crazy alot... and then laughs about it... I guess I dont censor anything... and I am very unapologetic about all the rest... then there is the sex dreams.. but I leave that to our letters .

Over 30+ years I have had heaps of dreams about my imprisoned penpals. Most of those dreams have had a Wizard of Oz quality about them: heightened colour, cornfields to leap through, journeys to make, etc.
These past couple of months I've had more realistic dreams about a current penpal. I talk to Z daily (sometimes multiple times daily) via corrlinks. I take these dreams as a warning that I have become overly obsessive about him. He did some really bad things, and I'm not hoping that he will be released, ever in this life.
