"I'm standing in an airport terminal, but the gates keep rearranging themselves β every time I find my gate it's moved to the opposite end of the terminal. My boarding pass shows a flight number that doesn't appear on any of the departure boards. The terminal is packed but nobody else seems concerned; they're all walking with purpose while I'm the only one lost. I find a gate agent and hand her my boarding pass. She studies it for a long moment, then looks up and says "this flight already left β yesterday." But I'm certain I booked it for today. I feel the specific dread of knowing I've missed something important without understanding how. Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, the tarmac is flooded β planes taxiing through dark water up to their wheels. The sky is a deep amber, like late afternoon but wrong somehow. A plane takes off anyway, lifting slowly through the reflection of itself in the water below. I realize I left my luggage somewhere but can't remember where, or even what was in it. "

"I got dropped off the the airport for an upcoming flight the night before so I wouldn't be late. But then I somehow fell asleep and missed my flight. So I hurried to get to a desk to change the flight so I could still reach the connection. I was running and even climbing over a bunch of sleeping people who got very annoyed. Then I checked my watch and I was an entire day early. I had also forgotten to get everything else ready just got dropped off way early. So I started to find my way back to the entrance to finish getting all my stuff ready and try again tomrrow. "

"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. Iβll never forget that. At the time we were both hurt by each otherβs actions. It was a βtruceβ 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. "
