The Curious Dreamer’s Dream Dictionary
by Nancy WagamanThe idea of working with someone as a team or beginning a process together (romantic or otherwise).
A marriage proposal can also represent a milestone in a romantic relationship (or a desire for one), the closeness in a certain romantic relationship (past or present), a platonic proposal (such as for a business partnership), feeling “put on the spot” somehow in real life.
Writing a proposal can represent a real or imagined challenge (for example, the resume you sent out last week “proposing” that a certain company hire you).
