i never thought i’d post something like this, but it’s been a recurring thing…

i’ve been dreaming about my ex girlfriend nightly for the past couple of weeks. the thing is, we split 6 or 7 months ago. when i’m awake, i honestly feel like i’ve gotten back to the person i was before we were together (well, for the most part). fyi: despite our brevity, she was the first girlfriend i had ever said “i love you” to and meant it.

anyway, i feel like my subconscious is trying to tell me something… but there’s only so much i can do about it. right after we split, we were fine. but a month or two afterwards, we had a HUGE falling out and haven’t spoken to each other since.

any thoughts? i just want some feedback on the situation to help me straighten this out. am i just over-analyzing? because i have tendency to do so…

Dreams are dreams, they don’t mean a thing. If your subconscious is trying to tell you anything, maybe it’s just that you’re ready to make that kind of commitment to someone again.

Your subconscious probably doesn’t like the way you have a bad relationship now. Also there’s a massive dependence on what the dreams are as to what the significance is.

there’s bad blood between us, but in my dreams, we’re all lovey-dovey and sh*t. and yeah, you’re right about the dependence, but aren’t you ever curious about what they might mean?

dreams are there to prepare us ,we tend to do things in our dreams that we cant face doing in real life.

When I mean what’s happening I’m mostly wanting to know if its like a hot and heavy scene or if youre just making gooey eyes in the shopping centre. Dreams are a way of being taught something, or, as that guy said, being prepared to face something bigger than us. But seriously, there’s no reason to resent her, and you should do what you can so that you don’t resent your current relationship with her.

they’re mostly just dreams of us doing things that we would do together… hanging out, and enjoying each others company. and ok, maybe bad blood and resentment is a bit of a stretch because i was the one that broke it off, but i just feel awkward trying to talk to her again because i’m one of those people who can’t maintain a friendship after a certain line has been crossed.

honestly, some people can make a friendship work with an ex and some people can’t. i’m one of the latter.

Just date someone else to take your mind off her

Some people say that what you dream at night is a reflection of what you think of at daytime. I don’t really agree with that…
I don’t know what your reason was that you split up, but I think it’s normal that you dream of her. She was your first true love. And maybe some day you will be together, nobody knows. I totally agree that there can’t be friendship after a serious relation has stopped.
I think you have to set your mind to something else, or it’s also possible that you will dream of her till you start a new relationship.
You know I always say that everything happens for a reason. If you do something wrong, you should enjoy the best part of it, learn form your misatakes, and move on.
If you really loved her, then I’m sure you regret it when it was over.
So be glad that in your normal life you can be yourself, cause there are a lot of others that can’t. You just dream about her, and they aren’t bad dreams.
So I would say, enjoy your dreams with her, for the time you see them, be glad that you can be normal in your life and move on….

I hope this helps you…
