Hi, i've just had a very strange dream, and I wondered if you could help me understand it.

It featured my first love, a new potential girlfriend, and a girl who I know but I'm not interested in. It's a little sketchy, but please try and help me analyze it. Firstly, I can remember at one point (first whatever reason) my first love and I bumped into eachother. Conversation between the two of us seemed a little awkward. She went upstairs to get changed, and a short time after I followed her, to find her taking her clothes off on my bed, leaving her in her underwear. I crept up behind her, turned her round, said... something, which she smiled at (a huge grin that I used to adore), and then we proceeded to make out.

A little later on in the dream, I find myself with a girl who I know, but I'm not interested in. Nothing happened between us, but I knew in the dream that we were going out. Suddenly, she finds out that I still have the intention of sleeping with my first love (That would never happen, obviously), to which she rightly gets very mad at me and leaves. A short time later I run into a girl I fancy and talk to her, which makes the other girl really jealous and she argues with us. A similar encounter happens shortly after in which me and the girl I fancy hug eachother, and the other girl tries to break it up and punch her!

I'm really struggling to remember the order of these events, but another part of the dream I find strange is that at one point I go to my first love's house (the relationship was long distance, so this would mean traveling 200+ miles) to see her, and her family (in which case would be for the first time since our relationship ended in June '07). I spoke to her mum about how I think me and my first love are getting back together. There was also a short sequence where I look at a photo of her father (who died before Christmas '07) and he looks clearly unwell.

That's about all I can remember. For the record, I truly feel like I am over my first relationship ending. I dwelled on it for a very long time after we split up, but I've dated since then, and while I miss the relationship a great deal, I have got on with my life. But then if I am over it, why did I have this dream?

PunkyPippi agony auntSome people see dreams as premonitions, and others see them as crap.

I think dreams process things your mind sees and thinks about at random. I think you're nervous about having a new relationship, and you're wondering if you're really ready for it. The old girlfriend there is the insecurity that your have in wondering if you're really over her--- you are presented with the most wonderful of opportunities (to sleep with her), because your mind says "what would you do????" Sorry, but any guy with a pulse in his body in his dream would sleep with her.

The girl you don't fancy being there is probably just a random image your mind conjured up.

The girl you fancy now being there is the other part of your mind saying "you're ready to move on."

If you say you're over the 1st relationship, you are. Don't let this dream affect that.
