Chloe: OK, I just--I have this horrible nightmare that you are going to
rush to the bus station after Whitney leaves and profess (confess her?)your undying
love for Lana, and I'm going to be waiting at the gym all alone, and if

I objected to "confess," because it implies some kind of guilt; but it's certainly possible, if that's what you mean. I had a block, so I cheated and grabbed a thesaurus - something I don't usually do, because I'm trying hard to keep my brain working. Here are some of the options I chose: Affirm, assert, state, declare , swear, acknowledge, represent, pronounce - take your pick.

Probably a feeling. With that tense (I have), it either means I have it now (a feeling), or I have it on a recurring basis (nightmare). If the business about the bus station and the gym is a daily routine, then it could be a recurring nightmare. If it's a one-time thing, she's probably talking about a feeling.
