Dream

I'm at odds right now and felt I should seek out others opinions on the matter.

Lately I've been having dreams involving a friend of mine, a friend that I had once been very close to (boyfriend). We still are indeed friends, just not as close. I haven't dreamed of him since our break up, which happened in 7th grade (around five years ago). So for me, this is rather odd.
Most of the dreams involve me going through near death experiences, he'd always be the one person in the dreams to support me and comfort me through my sufferings.

This friend of mine avoided any social media such as Facebook, Tumblr, etc. nor does he own a cell phone. So in this case, I had no contact with him since summer vacation, he'd refuse to even go on even if I had asked kindly. But after this one dream I had with his first appearance in years, I had woken up and immediately got onto Facebook only to find that he too was online.
We went into this huge conversation and I told him about my dream, ended up going through the whole story in complete detail. Then we continued into our normal conversation.

The next few days he hasn't been online, until yesterday, the morning after I had had another dream of him.

I would lay out the dream details for all of you but I prefer not to, considering I'd like to use them for actual story ideas. I might decide against this and put at least one of them up as an example.

I figured some of you may be familiar with the meaning of dreams, and maybe (hopefully) could identify the meaning/reasoning of these dreams for me.

Although you broke up with him, you are still thinking about him, and as how he supported you in rough times. Dreams are basically what you are thinking while you are asleep.

Dreams aren't just what a person is thinking about while sleeping. They can also be the person's deepest fears and anxiety as well as wishes.

@sky
I'm thinking that you're just recalling the experiences you got to share with him. It doesn't necessarily mean that you're still in love with him, although it's possible as well. 😊

@rachel215 & @safikei

Thank you both for sharing this helpful information.

I now think that because I've been struggling through some rough times in my current life, I would assume because I had normally gone to him for comfort in these times, it's because of my current state that I am dreaming of him as a way of reaching out for some sort of comfort, and he has been one of the main keys of reaching it.

If that had made any sense at all, mind me, I am having trouble sleeping.
