rcn agony auntUnfinished business. Think of your mind as a book with many chapters. Some of your chapters are fully written and closed. Past relationships being a chapter, and your relationship now being a chapter in the process of being written.

You're potential relationship with this person is not closed. It's a chapter that you began writing and haven't completed. It's not uncommon to have these dreams. I've had them too, then I wake up and wonder "why did I think of that person" Some of which I haven't hear their name or thought of them for quite a few years. It's normal to think about people in the past. Everyone we have ever cared for is stored somewhere in our brain, and you're accessing that information while you're sleeping because that's when our subconscious is most likely going to pull up information we thought we wrote off.

lovejunkie agony auntMaybe it's God's way of putting them on your mind because they are going through some trials and hardships right now and maybe you need to be the guardian angel that is praying for them to get through whatever it could be. I always think things happen for a reason. Maybe some day it will be revealed to you. Who knows. Hopefully you are not just bored in your current relationship, and starting to have lustful thoughts for another.....
