Posting to see if this happens to anyone else....
Every so often (maybe once a year max) I have a really vivid dream about my ex boyfriend of over 20 years ago, and I wake up feeling sad and yearning to speak to him.
I loved my bf very much and we were also close friends before we got together, but split up as he wanted me to convert to his religion. Some of my happiest memories of my youth were spent with him.
I am married with children and v settled, I do not ever think of this bf apart from some fond memories, but these dreams hit me like a tonne of bricks - all the hurt and the missing him comes back as if it were yesterday and I find myself wanting him to contact me (this would never happen).
Does this ever happen to anyone else? What does this mean?
