"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. "
