Why am I thinking AND dreaming of my past?

[yellownana]

Is it because i'm not happy about my current life? I thought it was ok, although we have our ups and downs.

I find myself dreaming of the people that were in my life etc.. And then when i wake up, i miss it and wish i was back there.

Does anyone else get this?

I dream about my one-day-to-be-ex-husband very regularly - last night in fact was the last time I dreamt about him. We have been separated now for 4 years, but I still dream about him more than anyone else. And, I am very happy with my current life and don't want to reconcile with him.

We did spend 16 years together, happy times, traumatic times.... but it is weird how I dream about him every week and yet have only dreamt about my current (3 years) boyfriend about 4 times in that whole time.

I often dream about past times and how I wish sometimes I could go back there. I'm not particularly unhappy with my fella. Perhaps it's just a case of the grass is always greener syndrome.

Grass is geener makes sense, as my life has changed a lot since then.

Mine too and not in the way I would have thought. Not necessarily a bad thing though, just different.
