Ghosts of Boyfriends' Past

     This is just a personal blog post about a dream I had last night. The dream reminded me of how psychologically powerful dreams can be; this dream has been on my mind all day. The dream was about an ex-boyfriend of mine. Just when I was starting to be confident that I no longer had any feelings for him, my mind is filled with visions of us living happily together. No, I'm not sure what it means, but it has left me with a mixture of emotions. This time, versus searching the ever-handy internet, I have been interpreting the dream myself and extracting the different meanings.
   
My emotions:

• joy - naturally, I feel happy from what I saw: a near flawless relationship. But that lead to my. . . 
• disillusionment - that is not how our relationship was. Hence why it is O-V-E-R.
• strength - I felt somehow rejuvenated by this dream. It was almost like reinforcement of my past decisions. I felt better off without him.                                  

 The best thing of all that I think I gained from this dream was pure appreciation for where I am standing in my life right now. I am happy to be who I am and where I am. This dream has set my whole day off to be a successful one. So, why did I have this dream? My guess is that my ex was on the back of my mind because I was trying to ignore it. I sort of needed closure, and that is exactly what this dream gave me.  Dreams are undoubtedly part of our lives. This one has healed my mind a little bit. I also think dreams are a bit like being drunk. Everything you try to ignore or hide can come out through a dream. We all knbow, "A drunk man's words are a sober man's thoughts."
