Hi, hope I'm not posting too much - I'm just full of so many questions and here is anothery...

Every now and then I dream of the first person I fell in love with.
He was straight and I'm gay. We weren't good friends - because I met him at high school before I came out I made a real mess of interacting with him and I think he was under the impression I was crazy. Years later I did explain the situation to him which he was fine with - boy was that a liberating feeling.

Anyway, every now and then I dream about him. Somtimes we are friends, sometimes it's as if we were back at high school.

I was just wondering if his appearance has any signifigance? I've not seen him in years and it isn't as if I think of him a lot.

Could it be he is my ideal? He was certainly everything I found attractive - red hair, pale skin...

I have been with my partner (also a redhead) for 11 years now and we're ceratinly happy - we have our ups and downs as any couple do...

So why does Leif, my first love appear in my dreams?
Thanks.

It's perfectly normal to dream about your first love. I don't think anyone ever forgets their first love completely. Memories of them always lie in your subconscious, and they are certain to pop up from time to time.

Unless there is something in particular about your first love's personality or looks that symbolizes something to you--for example, if he was very stingy with money the dream might have to do with money--otherwise it's just a memory, nothing really to be concerned about.
