DS2364 DREAMING OF AN OLD BOYFRIEND

Interpretation

Your dreams are about you, and everyone and everything in a dream represents you in some way. They show your state of mind from the previous day.

Therefore, the dream boyfriend represents an aspect of you. He symbolizes an inner quality that’s part of who you are, like a talent, an understanding, or an emotional quality. So, when you think of this old boyfriend, what quality or characteristic initially comes to mind? For example, was he kind, humorous, irresponsible, or trustworthy? This is a quality of yourself that he represents. This is the part of yourself you have been identifying with and using in your waking life. Given that this is a boyfriend from 40 years ago, this may be a way you’ve expressed yourself in the past that you are drawing out again whenever you have this dream.

You noted that this dream is recurring. It will be helpful for you to notice your thoughts and attitudes from the day before these dreams, to identify when you are expressing the part of yourself that your old boyfriend represents.

Once you identify the quality or recent recurrent state of being, this will enable you to make more conscious choices about the thoughts, emotions and activities that serve you and those that do not. The action in the dream will also indicate more of what you are doing in your waking state with this particular aspect of you. When you begin using that aspect differently then your dreams will reflect such choices.
