Rachel's Inspiration

*Unsure of exact date*

I was in a room somewhat like a library, apparently on a college campus, and there was a hospital bed with someone in it (male).  My friend Rachel was in another hospital bed next to the guy's.  He said he was "disabled" (He was actually depressed).  He had short red messy hair (like a young Danny Elfman).  He asked her what she was going to school for (he supposed it would be something typical).  When she told him she was going for her doctorate in psychology, he had some sort of inspired epiphany.  All of a sudden he was standing and said he wanted to (go do something, basically).  He realized what he wanted to do -- Unclear whether it was a "miracle" or if he was pretending to be disabled so he didn't have to deal with society and was using it as an excuse for himself.  Rachel was awestricken.  She was amazed and inspired (thinking "oh my God).  "Lets' go", she said.  She felt like she could lead him or teach him. 

She sent me an email, which was kind of like twitter, but as I read it, I heard a clear narration of her voice talking as I read the words, which were kind of blurry.  She said she was happier than she'd ever been (can't remember clearly anymore what she said--especially the last line, which was clearer than anything else.  I actually heard her voice as I was waking up, but I didn't write it down soon enough.)  She was saying that they were together and what she was doing.  She said she still talks to Phil (almost?) every day (and that they were best friends... something like that).  All I can remember of the last line is, "I was............"
