"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. "
