Dream:

I was in the fellowship hall of the church I grew up in. The lights were low and an unseen disco ball was casting reflected light the way they do. Music was playing. It felt like people were setting up for an event.
I was playing soccer albiet not very well. It wasn't a game rather I was just kicking the ball around. There was only about 5-6 others there doing random things.
One of them was a guy I went to high school with named Spiro. He was doing these crazy trick shots that ricocheted off of walls and went in the goal. He wanted to do this big trick shot and asked everyone to stand back against the wall while he set it up. He moved this girl right in front of me. The girl - let's call her Y - I used to work with and I had an attracted-to/can't-stand relationship with (less than love, less than hate). It was awkward and I didn't know where to put my hands - on her shoulders, her waist, by my side?
Someone next to us caught a weird-looking bird with a jacket and put it in a cage. The bird was big but looked like a fledgling without all its feathers and big black eyes. Despite being ugly, I felt sorry for him in the cage.

Explanations: Where I grew up there was a small pocket of folks of Greek decent. I think it was because of a Greek church in the area. Growing up, one of my best friends was from one of these families. I still see him from time-to-time and saw him last Thursday evening (I am writing Thursday morning). I haven't seen Spiro in a million years nor was I close to him back then. However, seeing my friend who was a good soccer player may have opened that memory door.
I haven't seen Y in 5 years but I still think about that job from time to time. Facebook may have prompted this. Though, I cannot recall recently thinking of her in particular.
The bird...? I did see a documentary on bald eagles around a week ago. Maybe this set that off?

Observation: I have been seeing a trend of dream content being tracked back to events or memories that may have been triggered 5-7 days previous. I really think I am onto something.

"Love is Like a Rock" by Donnie Iris. I haven't heard this one in a while. Not sure why it was in my head this morning.
