A Dream About the Past
What does a dream mean? If it’s about your past, love life, does it mean something? I don’t know, maybe I’m just confused or something.
Well, as few of you knows (’cause my older posts about my past was deleted), let me give you some brief fact about it. Me and my 5-year girlfriend broke up last October 10, 2008. I know it’s almost a year since we broke up, but the last time we were together was just last February 2009. She had a new boyfriend, after a month or two, I had my new girlfriend too, she’s in Kuwait right now, working. To be honest, I don’t know if I can survive this LDR thing. Anyway, let’s go on to topic.
There’s this one time last week, I can’t remember what day it was. I was so deeply asleep, I know I was that deeply asleep ’cause I dreamed, I rarely dream, I don’t know why, but that’s me. I was kinda surprised why I dreamed about my ex-girlfriend, I wasn’t even thinking about her when I slept.
The dream goes like this. Me and my ex-gf together with her mom, met in a place full of flowers around us, red and yellow ones, somewhere like a garden. And then we talked and talked, had a real and good closure, ’cause we never had a real closure, like you know, talked in person or what not. You know, something that would make things which was left hanging, be cleared. After we talked and cried, we were in a garden, probably the same garden , but her mom wasn’t around and there was kids playing on the playground, on a slide to be specific. And then we argued again. (We never had an argument when we were together, I mean nothing that big, ’till we broke up). That was the time I woke up and noticed my pillow was already wet in tears.
What does my dream mean? That until now it bothers me. I asked my best friend Daisy about it, and she said “maybe that dream means something deep ’cause you weren’t thinking of her when you slept then suddenly you dreamed about her. Maybe Tessa needs you at that very moment?” and I was like “Needs me? She doesn’t even replied on my texts”. I don’t know. Jackie told me, maybe I was thinking of her subconsciously. Maybe I was.
I don’t really know what to think. What’s your interpretation of my dream? Does that mean I still love her or something?

Definitely not you have forgotten his former girlfriend. And to understand the feelings of you who do not help either. Just think, how do you feel about the new and former girlfriend. If the former is a priority, then I think not sotit continue with the current girlfriend, and to resume relations with the former.

Hhmmm, I was researching “dreams of past love” and found your post. I keep having dreams about my ex– who was at one time the man that I considered to be the love of my life; but a man who so disappointed and hurt me. We haven’t been together in 8 years. I just got married last year to a wonderful man, and now I have been dreaming of this ex.
You have a choice.
The dreams have nothing romantic or sexual, but we are together talking and sometimes avoiding anyone seeing us. I am glad to see him each time.
I know that I don’t want to be with him, but for some reason he stays in my dreams.
Maybe we had such a strong oonnection, or we felt such a strong love at one time for these people that our subconscious plays out the “what ifs”. Or perhaps I want him to see me and know how good my life is, how good I am doing.
I have a tendency to over-analyze, but in this case I am choosing how I view it. I have a great man in my life now. So I accept the fact tht I dream of this ex who at one time I loved so dearly. In life there lies the possibility of many loves. I choose to be happy with the one I am with

Ano, deleted na ba yung previous post mo? Ibig sabihin na delete din ang comment ko dun? He-he
Your dream has no meaning to me. I think it’s normal to dream like this because of what had happened between you and her. As what you said, there were no proper breakup or hanging, right? Of course, you cared for her… All I can say is, life must to go on. Past is past…don’t try to undo if the other party is not interested.
I hope your LDR will workout. As what they say, only few of them worked out in the end. Good luck and stay focus with your new g/f.

One thing I learned about dreams… is that only you can interpret it.
Anyway, dreaming about your ex-love usually does not predict future involvement. It may be wish-fulfillment, reliving memories, or working out old issues.
and one must take note.. of the feelings the dream induced. whether you have already “let-go” and learned what you had to with the previous relationship you had.
it is good you are dreaming.. you are becoming in touch with ur subconscious mind.
and all the best with your LDR

found this meaning as well online:
1. The ex-lover is thinking about the dreamer intensely, and projecting telepathic messages towards her which she receives in her dreams.
2. Incompletions with this person that need to be resolved within the dreamer before he is truly free to move on to a new relationship.
3. Similarities between this past relationship and situations now in the dreamer’s life. Solutions to current difficulties may be resolved by the dreamer’s remembering how he dealt with the ex-lover.
It might help.

Good information, although it’s quite speculative. I don’t think we’ll ever know for sure what our dreams actually mean. Or if they even have solid “meanings” to be discovered.

@tina
Hmmm, well you’re right. Only me can interpret it. But I really don’t know.
Thanks for the meaning too Tin.. It helped me realize something.
@Dara
I agree with you, but I know dreams has to mean something, a little at least or something that reminds you of that particular person.

I guess people interpret dreams differently. A fair amount of the dreams I have seem to be of me being attacked by demons. Yes, demons and once or twice I have woken up and screamed at something to get out of the room because it has felt as if there is a presence in the room. I haven’t had one in a while I hope it stays like that.

Past is past. Let it go…

Great post. Maybe we had such a strong connection, or we felt such a strong love at one time for these people that our subconscious plays. Or perhaps I want him to see me and know how good my life is, how good I am doing.
