dreaming of past places and people
Posted on 06/05/08, 05:59 pm
The last couple of weeks I have been having so many dreams containing people and places from my past. I wonder why?? maybe there is no meaning but I am happily re-marreied for 6yrs now and I have to have major back surgery next week - but my dreams make my ex look like a nice person, the person I thought he was when I married him - I don't want him, I truly feel I am with the love of my life but it makes me want to know what my ex is like now and if he has changed. I hope that does not sound disloyal to my husband but I really think it is because there are so many unanswered questions from when I was married to him. I also dream of jobs and people I knew and have not seen for 10 or more years..do any of you belive dreams have a special meaning? at times I do then I start think it is silly to make more of it than it is...just wanted to hear what you might think.

Lately I have been dreaming that I do something and my husband will not talk to me or even let me hug him. I know that it is just a dream but it feels so real and I wake up really upset. My husband is a kind and loving man and would never treat me the way he does in my dream. Its so wierd though. I love him so much and maybe its my brain trying to work out all of the guilt I have over things that he doesn't know about with my past. -

MOST of my dreams are set in past places or--assuming I get a dream where I know the characters and not some people my brain just makes up--friends from my past.
In my case, it is usually places where I was happiest, like my grandparents' farm. College. But with the people, a lot of times it is people I have unfinished business with, friends with whom I left too much unsaid. Or friends I am still in touch with and I need to call, because it's been a while! LOL!
But yeah, a lot of my familiar-past dreams will be of places and people that I had some kind of struggle with. I was a dancer (ballet, not stripper) and I will dream about performances. I wonder if it could be that we go through some kind of struggle in our present-day life and at night our subconscious is reviewing how we have handled past struggles...or how we would haved liked to. ?? -

I am so happy to read your reply's. I think as far as my ex-husband is concerned it is really some very serious issues such as was he fighting homosexauality - interest in young girls and other horrors so much so that I had to leave, he and I had not been intimate in 5yrs of course alot of that time he was at sea but I just cannot reconcile the person I met with the monster I ended up married to and I feel guilty that I put my kids through his mood swings I still cry just thinking I may have put my children in danger, fortunelately my kids always new they could come to me and I would believe them I would never take a chance they could be wrong.
