I have a recurring dream that I am looking for my boyfriend but I can never find him. My boyfriend and I aren't having any relationship issues at the moment and we are both quite happy.

Well, since I don't know you, I couldn't really say, but dreaming IS the brain's way of sorting through all the information and stuff that constantly goes through it-- even subconcious stuff. That's why people don't always get their dreams. Because it's stuff they don't really think about day to day-- just things in the very backs of their minds.

(I once had a passing thought about a friend one day, and then she bacame a prominent point in a dream that night. That's all it takes for something to get blown up like that, I guess.)

Are there no underlying issues at all? Then maybe that's just what you're afraid might happen for some reason. Just a guess, though. Hope you figure it out.

Well our relationship was rocky in the beginning but everything has become very good and we are both happy now. Both times I had this dream I woke up and my boyfriend had left the room so that it was an intense pain in my heart until I saw him and then at that moment I broke down into tears both times, he has become pretty worried about me after that.

Have you had someone else very meaningful in your life abandon or leave you? You could be fearing the loss of another person whom you love so immensly.

You woke up with him gone after the dream, or that WAS the dream?

Things that are happening in real life at the time you are asleep affect what you dream. It might even be that you felt him leave and had that dream as a result.
