For the past few nights I have had a dream about an old friend of mine. She and I had a big falling out, and never reconciled our differences. She also used to date my best friend. He has also appeared in a few of the dreams.

In the most recent dream with this girl, she didn't appear until the very end. I was instead helping a girl from my high school (who I barely know) get settled and begin her new job as a creative part of a church. We were going camping, and this girl and a couple other friends went to the store to buy some supplies. While at the store, this is where i ran into my old friend. It was very akward feeling.

This girl and I haven't spoken in over 6 months. Any idea what her being in my dreams so consistantly might mean?

I think it might mean that you are missing your friend. I know that's a stupidly obvious thing to say, but we choose people as friend because we connect with them on a certain level, we have an understanding with friends and they (we hope) understand us in ways that most other people do not. I think your friend appearing in your dreams now represents a need for advice from a personality that your subconscious normally associates with your old friend.

I mean that your dreaming mind is using your friend’s image because it connects the way you feel about her with the type of advice and guidance it thinks you might need now.

Or it could be more straight forward than that, like you do actually miss her and your dreams are making up for that by having her be in your dreams so you can get an idea how you might feel if you did go and talk to her in waking life.

What do you think?

It sounds like that could be a pretty good assessment. It's just been strange, since I typically don't remember dreams, but for 4 nights in a row I've remembered my dream, and it has had her in it. Thanks for the help, though!!
