I keep dreaming about someone I loved. I loved him deeply. I have had dreams about him for ten years now. TEN!

I know these dreams have more to do with me than with him except I don’t know what he represents for me.

My ex-therapist said that I need to write my dreams down to understand the symbolism that keeps appearing surrounding him. I haven’t done so and I’m not sure why.

I’m just in shock that these dreams haven’t stopped.

I don’t talk to him anymore and I don’t think about him when I’m awake. It’s only in my dreams.

Has this happened to any of you?
