[国际新闻] 英国一男子醒来联系梦中电话号码找到爱情

日月光

现年24岁的戴夫·布朗是英国米德尔塞克斯郡海尔菲尔德市人，5年前的一天晚上，戴夫和朋友们外出消夜，当他喝醉酒回家后，立即倒头就睡，并在入睡后做了一个梦。当第二天早晨戴夫醒来后，他已经忘掉了整个梦的内容，但他仍然清楚地记得梦中的一个手机号码。戴夫对记者说：“那是个手机号码———07903 142365，这个陌生的手机号码在脑海中越来越清晰。我当时想，这会不会是我昨天晚上新认识的某个朋友的电话号码？所以我向这个手机发出了一条短信：‘嗨，我们昨天晚上见过吗？’”

　　戴夫说：“当米歇尔回电话后，我立即意识到我们此前从来没有任何联系，我们也没有任何共同的朋友———所以说没有任何理由可以解释她的手机号码为什么会突然出现在我的脑海中。但从那以后，我们就经常发短信联系，成了一对好朋友。几个礼拜后，我决定和她去见上一面。”
