"I have this same dream over and over. I had moved in with my girlfriend of a year and things were great until they weren't. Things would get heated and the frequency was increasing. She has some trauma and some trust issues. Was never 100% open with me about her emotions but expected me to be 100% open with her. Eventually things got so bad I moved back home. 1300 miles away. We spent a year trying to reignite things but it never happened. It got worse. I was on egg shells and at the time she was a coworker. THat made things worse. We ended things and i left that position. We still work in the same industdry and she is the executive director of the non profit we worked for. That's the back story The dream is a different setting every time but the theme is the same. At the beginning of the dream I see her and by the end of hte dream we are going to be meeting each other or spending time together but it never happens. The dream closes out with me still wanting to spend time with her. Some times I see her at the beginning but I don't actually see her face. maybe just the back of her head. The dream happens about once every 2 weeks. I had a new dream last night. In real life we were at. It was after the initial break up. I think we were flying to Canada. We met in the airport and we were waiting for someone. She was sitting next to me on my right side. She slowly reached over and wrapped her pinky around mine. I’ll never forget that. At the time we were both hurt by each other’s actions. It was a “truce” of sorts. I dreamed this experience last night. I think it was the first time we touched in a dream post break up. It's been about 2 years since the initial break up and almost a year since I stopped working with her / for her. "

"So I was getting ready to go on a trip and I was gonna head to the airport, needed to meet up with my family, like my father and mother and siblings to get to have dinner before the trip. So I realized that I needed to pack some more things out of my camper and so I met with them. Didn't eat dinner yet, but... So I started running around that route and when I was running... I was running like a monkey or something, like with my feet and then I'd go under my arms and pull myself up, then go back to my feet and go with my arms and the road started getting steeper and steeper and eventually I realized that I was up high on a cliff and the cliff was like way above the ground and I was kind of scared, I was hanging on to like a rung and the rung became loose and one of the bolts fell off it so then the rung was dangling there. There was a guy behind me who was climbing up, like I was looking down at the water trying to think if it was deep enough that I could drop back down to it because there was water below me, but the guy below me, I asked him if he had an extra nut for the rung so that I could tighten it back up, but he didn't have one and he fell, like his rung just snapped off at that point and he fell down and he seemed to be pretty badly injured so I didn't want to fall down off the rung anymore and I just wasn't really sure what to do at that point so I was just dangling from the rung and then I woke up."
