Hi everyone, first post here as I was hoping for some interpretations of this recurring dream I keep having. I think I initially posted this question in the wrong part.

I met this girl travelling nearly a year ago. Although we only were together for a short time, something about her really stayed with me and I've visited her since then. I was really into her but through circumstances, things didn't really end up how I wanted them to. Although I've been with other girls since, I've continued to think about her, and for months I've kept having a recurring dream which seems to vary somewhat eachtime.

The dream usually features her with someone else, sometimes a real person I know, and sometimes someone I've never seen before. They would usually flirt in front of me almost as if to provoke me into action, though I never would or could seem to do anything. What interested me is recently the other guy had started to be more distant and now he is not there at all, it's just me and her. The dream usually goes on for a little longer each time before I wake up, and last night it got to a point where I was walking her back to her place.

I've long accepted that it was unlikely anything lasting would happen, but I was curious as to whether my subconscious was previously closed to the idea of me and her but is now seeing it as a possibility?

Would appreciate any kind of interpretations of this dream and posts about other people's similar dream experiences.

I wonder if the other guy started out as the person you wanted to be. You wished you were with her and you were disappointed that you couldn't be.

Now that you are more satisfied with the way things are in waking life, the other guy can no longer provoke you (you aren't as sad about her being gone), so the dream is starting to change so that it is just a normal fantasy about an ex.
