Dreams.

My colleague appeared in my dream.

Since you brought it up...
I dreamt about my former classmate, with whom I was deeply in love during my university years (and even afterward). At the beginning of the dream, I was walking through a train, not remembering where I was going or why. Suddenly, I saw her sitting on one of the seats. At first, I almost walked past her; I'm not sure if I didn't recognize her or pretended not to, but eventually, I stopped, and she greeted me first. I remember wanting to greet her in a cool, pretentious way, but in the dream, I forgot how (now I remember – I wanted to sing to her, "which came as some surprise, I spoke into his eyes, 'I thought you died alone, a long-long time ago,'" and she was supposed to finish the song), but in the dream, I forgot all of that, so I simply said, "I didn't expect to see you here" (which is also a special phrase in a way – it's not our first meeting). I don't remember what we talked about, but during the conversation, we were sitting so close that she leaned in, and I could feel her cheek against mine. At first, I moved away because I realized she was teasing me; I even said, "Don't do that," and she responded with something like, "Why not?" and continued. I stopped moving away and stroked her cheek. Then, I wanted to kiss her, or maybe I even did (but most likely, I just wanted to). After that, she said she wasn't in a hurry and could get off at the next station with me. In the end, we got off together in the middle of nowhere. She walked ahead with her bag, and I followed slightly behind. But along the way, we kept encountering fences with signs that said, "No Trespassing." She easily climbed over them, while I hesitated, and the distance between us started to increase (probably because I still remember how we walked 15 km, and despite her fragile appearance, she didn't get tired at all). Finally, after another fence, I heard someone calling us from behind. It was either a police officer or a security guard. I stopped, and he approached us. I noticed that it was an orc (in a police uniform). I expected some kind of punishment, but he said something like, "Don't worry about it; I'm an orc. We only respect guys who break the rules." So, we and my classmate continued walking. She gave me her bag, and I was surprised at how heavy it was and how she managed to carry it so easily and quickly. Then, I woke up, but it was a dream within a dream.
In that dream, we were with colleagues in some kind of shared dormitory, like we were staying in a cheap hotel or something. We were on a business trip. One of the colleagues (I had the feeling that it wasn't a colleague but a former classmate, but I had a strong feeling that I considered him a bit of a boor) was telling his dream, which was exactly the same as mine. I listened silently, and at one point, I added a correction/comment to his story. Everyone turned to me and asked something like, "Do you wish you had that dream too?" I said that I had the exact same dream. We were all surprised. I called the dreamer over and, just in case, said, "Let's at least check if it was the same girl." He came over, and I whispered the name of my classmate to him. He said that it wasn't her in his dream.
Then, the others – among the faces, I definitely recognized one of my colleagues, so I assumed the rest were also colleagues, and we were on a business trip – said that I still had a "stamp of love" on my face, or something like that, as if my face was glowing with an inner light (not literally), and it was clear that I had TRUE love. Then, I woke up for real.
I'm a little embarrassed and awkward about all this nonsense, but we're still like one family.
