I'm loving the collaboration with all concerned. Yup, this is the way it used to work.

I think what we have to decide what story we're trying to tell. Did someone die? Is it a past love? Could it be both? Maybe someone in the military? but it's certainly someone the writer knows.

Should this be a love song? Should it be a song about loss? I don't know why I'm always killing ppl in my songs hahah.

Or it could be a child that was lost, and the writer sees them growing up in their dreams ?.. (dang that would make my cry just writing it)

It's all about the "showing" not telling, so the listener can apply it to whatever's going on in their life. (kinda like THE DANCE)

I guess the meet me here same time, same dream is almost a pleading to the person to please show up in their dreams.

That's my 2 cents, but I'm loving this conversation. Maybe the bridge should be something like.........

"when the day comes and the sleeping ends
we'll see each other and then
I'll never have to dream again............

"It Mattered to THAT One"
