Do dreams really mean anything? I dreamed of my ex from my teenage years a few days ago and can't stop having( in reality )the same feelings I had in my dream. In the dream he had a bandana covering his head. I was scared in my dream for his answer, but It was cancer. I hugged him and it felt so good in my dream and days later as I still think about this daily. He and I both in the dream and in real life are attached. Well, the last time I saw him was about 11 years ago. It is just so strange why I keep having these feelings. I would never act on it as I would not want to hurt the guy I am with now. It just seems like even when I was married, I never felt the warmth and excitement of just being held and knowing how much he wanted only me. I've never felt those feelings in over 23 yrs. It was just from a dream. This is so strange.
Record your dreams in a journal and take them to a dream analyst... I think it would be cool to do something like that!
I continually have dreams about tornadoes and saving my family from them. They are always partying and I'm trying to tell them the tornado is here. But, they never take it seriously. It's horrifying.
But, I figure that tornadoes are an uncontrollable force that threatens us, and I have to admit that I have felt powerless over our demise the past couple years.
Maybe they do have merit. I know when I am feeling stuck in life, I dream that I get stuck in the middle of a strange house and can't get out. Does not take a therapist to fiqure that one out. Perhaps you are just missing the comfort you had with him and that causes you to dream about him. But, I am no therapist, so maybe you want to check into seeing someone who does dream therapy. Or just write them down, perhaps they will make sense to you as you start keeping record of them.
Dreams can really impact our lives, can't they ?
Maybe you saw someone who Looked Like this ex and you weren't even consciously aware of it. However, your mind stored that imagine until you were sleeping. Then this memory manifested itself into your dreams.
