Actor Matthew McConaughey has revealed an unusual and deeply personal experience that he says changed the course of his life and led him to his wife, Camila Alves. In his Lyrics of Living newsletter, as reported by Us Weekly, McConaughey recounted a vivid dream that ended with him ej@culating in his sleep, an incident he says prompted a major realisation about family and his future. According to McConaughey, he had gone to bed and dreamt of being 88 years old, surrounded by 22 women and 88 children, one child for every year of his imagined life. He said the women all knew each other well, adding that the group shared only positive relationships, no green-eyed monster jealousy rearing its ugly head. He described the scene as they gathered for a family photograph: They all gathered around me on the porch for a family photograph, and we looked toward a large-format box camera on a tripod at the top of the driveway. Three! Two! One! Then I came. The actor, known for roles in Interstellar, Dallas Buyers Club and The Lincoln Lawyer, said that bizarre moment turned out to be a turning point, bringing him to an emotional realisation similar to something from Ghosts of Girlfriends Past. He said he understood for the first time that he did not want to remain a lifelong bachelor, instead, he wanted to be a father and commit to a partner. McConaughey explained that after the dream he stopped searching for the perfect woman and allowed life to unfold naturally. Only months later, he met Camila Alves, describing her as the only woman he has ever wanted to take on a date, sleep with, or wake up next to. The couple met in 2006, welcomed two children before marrying in 2012, and had their third child shortly after the wedding. McConaughey concluded the story with a humorous takeaway, saying major life clarity can strike without warning: Moral of the story big life lessons can hit when ya least expect it just make sure to shower off after they do.
