ColorsInthedark Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 Last night and this morning when I went back to sleep I had two occurring dreams of two old best friends both from middle school up until my sophomore year in high school. FYI-I am now 25 years old. Both these dreams had me waking up feeling a sense of loss and nostalgia a deep longing to go back in time and visit those moments again. Does anyone else feel like this? I feel like crap, as if I could cry. Time has gone by so much, I feel some tears coming on now. What would be a good coping method when I have dreams like this? They do happen on the regular. Thank you
John83 Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 I do the same its a bad habit of mine wishing i could live in those times forever. Just earlier today i was looking though photos the kids at various ages all happy memories with my ex and family in our first home. I would give anything to live my the rest of my life repeating the start of those times till just before it turned sour, over and over. Its not a healthy habit.

maturityassets Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 I have dreams about old friends quite often. Usually its a type of mournig of it all that it ended. I just interpret it as wondering what those past people would think of you now. Maybe if you were like you are now they would still be friends with you.
The Situation Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 I've had a few dreams lately about my ex. It happens. The key is looking forward to creating new memories. Not that I'm qualified to give you advice! It's easier to remember the good times than the bad.

Thank you I have had many such dreams...and I hold onto them. They seem so real sometimes...like dreaming I am a kid again at the park with my grandma and being able to sense the smell of the grass, the warmth of the sun, and the breeze on my skin. Of course, not all are good memories like that, but I try to find something good in the memory...such as focusing on being 18 again or something to try and redirect from the negative. I love dreams in general and these have a way of opening my memory and I just hold on to them.
