Just here for the pictures
So last night, Sherlock was engaged to some woman, though of course he was just using her. And she was just using him. He knew she was, but she hadn't figured out that he was and thought he was really in love with her. So to try to break him down, she decided to seduce Lestrade. A very disturbed and distressed Lestrade, as he thought the woman Sherlock loved was seducing him. Sherlock walked in as she was hanging all over Lestrade, then shrugged and walked away, leaving Lestrade completely nonplussed and the fiancee completely over both of them.
Then it switched to me sitting on the day bed in the guest room of my house and Sherlock coming upstairs in his dressing gown (specifically the camel one, yes) with mugs of tea for both of us. He sat down on the floor, leaned against the wall, and started trying to talk me into letting him set me up with someone. "No. I don't want to be set up with anyone." "No, you're not understanding me. You two would be a good team." "No, you're not setting me up with anyone." "Not him? Alright. What about John? He's not quite as well suited to you, but he's a good man, who I believe likes relationships." "No. Not John either." "Why not? You could get married." 
"And I would rather be able to drop everything and come running any time you need me than get married."

Wow! Spot on in the beginning re: personalities and intrigues of various characters :-D And the second part is so romantic ... though it reminds me of Molly and how you really want her to be able to move on but you can sense that crushing crush that you just can't get over either bc we can so relate... hehehe and come on, he came out in a robe proffering tea!!!!! such a cozy lovely scene. Sigh.
If I had that dream, I'd honestly wake up and sigh.
P.S. Thanks for the pics :-D

I do wonder what that deleted comment said.
I thought the ending part was symbolic...(?) kind of like what your mom said once that you couldn't be married because you like your alone time or to do what you want or whatnot. You couldn't watch and fantasize about Sherlock whenever you wanted (whenever he "called") if you were married. ;)
But I agree, the first part sounded like a legitimate episode, that I would watch and be annoyed by. ;)
Yes, the whole dream was kind of a cheap knock-off, with Janine and Irene Adler and John and his relationships and Molly and the fact that Sherlock was wearing the camel-colored dressing gown when he drank that tea with the eyeball in it(though thankfully our tea did not have any eyeballs - though yes, they were the same mugs).
I wonder what I would've said if he had offered to set me up with Lestrade instead of John.
And I do not fantasize about Sherlock. I gave up fantasizing four years ago. Though a husband would probably mean that I wouldn't be able to watch it as often as I do. :)
I wish I practiced such mind-over-matter.
It's not a choice for me. It's a matter of spiritual life or death in my case. Some people can handle their alcohol, others hit rock bottom and learn they need to never touch a drop.
