nightmares Posted December 25, 2004 Share Posted December 25, 2004 Hello, I'm 24 years old. There was a guy I dated a bit in High school. I had it for him pretty bad, I guess you could say. But I haven't seen him or talked to him in 7 years. I must have been pretty obsessed about him back then since he's STILL popping up in my dreams, fairly regularly (lately once a week, sometimes once a month - at least every 3 months.) My dreams aren't really anything special - they usually involve us being together in some way. Nothing memorable. I very rarely think about this guy when I'm awake, except for after a dream. I'm perfectly happy in a relationship - I'm engaged to a wonderful guy who I love. I'm just wondering when the hell this is going to end, if ever?? It sort of bothers me because I'm really happy in my relationship. It must just happen because I spent so much time back then thinking about this guy. I didn't think it was THAT bad of a head trip I was on... Anyone haunted by dreams of "the one that got away?" How long has it been for you? Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Spock Posted December 25, 2004 Share Posted December 25, 2004 I won't offer advice on WHY he's popping up in your dreams-unresolved issues, perhaps-but if the sex was particularly good it's not uncommon to play it back in your head even years later. Link to post Share on other sites
nightmares Posted December 26, 2004 Share Posted December 26, 2004 Thank you for your reply. The dreams aren't about sex, though. And I never had sex with this guy - I was a virgin back then. It was your typical high schoolish relationship, otherwise.. you know - we liked each other and tried a couple times but didn't have a whole lot of communication. My dreams are usually about us being together or just deciding to try things again. I don't expect anyone to be able to interpret WHY I'm having the dream... I'm pretty sure as to why. He's one of the few guys I was involved with that I didn't dump. The idea of seeing him still sort of intimidates me. It just hardly seems normal to still be having these dreams about it, is all. It's enough to drive me crazy! Thanks again. Has anyone else had dreams like this for such a long time? Link to post Share on other sites
