Dreams, anniversaries

Posted by messadivoce on April 18, 2005, at 11:44:07

I'm sorry I've haven't been posting much, ya'll. I've been doing fine, just so busy with school and I'm giving my senior recital tomorrow night, which will be a huge load off my mind. But I do read lots of posts...I hope that counts for something.

But I have been having a lot of dreams about my ex T lately. In my dreams he's close by, but I can never talk to him or else he ignores me. Last night's dream was in a department store/gym, and I was sweating on a stairclimber, and I noticed he was over in the volleyball court. I got off the stairclimber and walked into the aisle, and he was coming off the court. I said hi, and even reached out and touched his shoulder, but he just walked right past me.

I'm coming up on my one year anniversary of termination with him. Do you think I'll stop relentless dreaming about him when it passes? I hope so.

I certainly think that an anniversary would cause the strange dreams. I still dream about my T frequently but it's only been a month since I saw him. Recently I dreamed he died - it seemed awfully final. I was glad when I woke up and realised it was only a dream about loss. I suspect your dream was also about loss.

I think the dreams will probably pass eventually, but you probably need to mark the anniversary in some way. You might need to grieve a bit, but maybe do something nice for yourself as well.

However, enjoy the recital! I hope it goes very well. I'm sure it will.

I think it has more to do with your recital. You said he came last year...and it meant so much to you.

Good luck, I'm sure you will be great. And I'm sure the dreams will stop after. You could also finish the dream before you go to sleep, see him talking to you, being kind, being happy to see you. It is OK to "manipulate" things a bit.

Hugs from me. Let us know how it goes.
