Solitary Dream Just Now

I had a dream, just now.
And I was with...someone, I don't know who.
But she was pretty, and I felt so familiar with her
Like an old shoe, or a comfy blanket.
I was in a crowd of many friends, and we were having a wonderful time and she was sitting to my left in a car - a station wagon - who has one of those anymore?
And I shared barbs and jabs in jest with our carmates, and then I looked over at this girl,
Just vaguely looking familiar, but feeling like someone I have known forever.
I lay my left arm over her body, and she hugged it.
I wonder - what is her name?
I buried my face in the right side of hers, her hair was blond, and I don't like blonds.
But I buried my face in hers, conscious of her hair and her beauty, the softness of her features, the softness of her skin, and feeling her affection for me.
I nearly kissed that right side of the beautiful face, and I was making that "Mmmmmm" sound that I make when I hold someone I love near.
I nearly kissed her, but I instead I woke up.
I don't know this gal - don't know her at all.
She's not real. She will never be.
And I miss her.
