What Dreams May Explain

Sometimes dreams help out more than you think. Dreams often reflect a time or event that has happened in ones lifetime. I know this topic is going away from my original theme of posts but I felt it was my obligation to express my feelings on how I perceive this dream. It started out in my old apartment in Illinois. I was lying on my bed when I woke up in my dream. Next to me was my ex who was sleeping next to me in our apartment that we shared. Usually when one of us wakes up before the other we would wake the other person up. As I tried to wake her up whom I couldn’t. I could tell that she was sleeping due to the fact that she was wrapped up in the blanket which she usually hogs. Confused on why I couldn’t wake her up it became apparent to me that this is a dream. We had been broken up for some time and haven’t lived with each other for more than a year. When I came to this conclusion her body disappeared and a sadness feeling overwhelmed me. All of a sudden these two people appeared and started to cheer my up. Although their faces were not clear to me but I knew that these two were people I trusted and felt very comfortable with. They instructed me to pack up and begin our trip back home. That my time here was done and that I need to move on.
At first I didn’t know what or how I should perceive this dream. It has been months since I had any dreams that involved her. We haven’t spoken to each other in months. Maybe something I did during the day must have triggered this scenario. In no way this is an attempt to rekindle my relationship with my ex. After our last conversation about two months ago we said some harsh words to each other and things ended badly. I guess we tried to convince ourselves that we could still be best friends but in reality that is hard to do with any long relationship. There is too much feelings and memories one needs to put away to be able to function with that person as a friend. Even though I feel that I have moved on, there must be a part of me that is holding on to something in my past.
