Dreams about exes and random people
I've been in a relationship for 10 months with a man who treats me great. But in the last few months I have had dreams about other people, sometimes in a suggestive way.
A few months ago I had a dream about my boyfriend's most recent ex (I'm a bisexual female). She's actually a nice person, he's still on good terms with her. Not gonna lie, she's really pretty. In this dream I was in the salon where she works and I was flirting with her. She's appeared in a couple other dreams.
About a month ago I dreamed this one guy was seriously coming onto me. I'll try to keep details as short and to the point as possible, but recently he sent me a message out of the blue 5 years after I messaged him (at that time I thought he was pretty attractive). I had a really confusing dream about him again the other night; I thought my boyfriend was next to me at a bar but when I turned around it was the other guy. But that can be chalked up to the fact that I think he resembles him.
I've had two dreams about one guy I was seeing, not romantic or sexual in nature but about his death (he's still alive in real life). That really freaked me out. In both dreams he had some sort of infection that spread to his whole body and killed him. Last night I dreamed about him and another guy I used to see. They're friends with each other but that has nothing to do with why things didn't work with either of them; one is commitment phobic and the other didn't communicate very well and showed signs of using drugs. I don't remember much about last night's dream except it was in a dark room and they were sitting on a couch next to each other, and I was drinking pink Moscato (my drink of choice).
Even when me and my bf have arguments, even when he's yelled at me or said hurtful things, I've never had any desire to be single again or date someone else because I really do love him. However I'm wondering if romantic dreams about other people are some sort of subconscious escape mechanism when we fight? Any thoughts?
