when is forever going to stop being defined by you?

I've always heard to listen to your gut instinct, but I'm starting to think mine has no common sense. However, it has a really good sense of humor...
Can my life stop being filled with strange twists or weird coincidences for one day? Just one? I'm not really asking for much! Just a simple "oh, hey! you have a normal life!" feeling.
Last night I was sitting with a bunch of friends talking about where I saw myself after graduation. I was talking about how I saw myself teaching and married. I was even talking about how there was someone who has been in my life for a while that I could really see myself marrying because he's THAT perfect for me. Then, I went to bed...
Usually I ignore the content of my dreams as weird and nothing more. I mean, how am I supposed to take a nightmare about Cruella De'Ville seriously? My dream last night broke that mindset, though.
Have you ever had a dream where you were in love with someone you knew and it was so eerily realistic you could feel butterflies in your stomach while dreaming? When you woke up, you blushed out of that little girl giddiness we all experience at some point? That happened to me, but with someone I swore I would never think about again.
I dreamed that suddenly when I walked in my house, he was there. He was looking at me like he always used to and I instantly hugged him, ignoring our past, and had those same butterflies in my stomach I had always had.
Throughout the day, no matter how hard I tried to get those stupid little butterflies to stop messing with me, I could still feel them in my stomach. So what's right, my mind or my gut instinct?
