Ihave this reoccurring, I think its safe to say, nightmare. In this nightmare, I am back at BYU dating my high school boyfriend. The whole time the dream sequence is occurring , I am desperately trying to explain to this old boyfriend why we should not be together. My main point in each dream is that I'm already married and deeply in love with my husband. Each dream also finds me searching for Jesse in the faces of the people that pass. At times, I even run back to our apartment complex looking for Jesse. Many times the dream ends as it should and I convince said boyfriend of the horrendous mistake that has been made and I find my true love at some nonspecific location. However, there are times when it ends poorly. The conclusion at these times leaves me hand-in-hand with the unwanted ex and Jesse walking past, not recognizing me or worse yet remembering me but choosing to walk away.
Now when I say reoccurring, I jest not. These dreams occur at least once a week and sometimes more. Before you ask, they are not brought on by any interaction between Jesse and myself and I don't eat 2 hours before bedtime. So any suggestion? What could be causing such nightmares? Need more information? Well all I can say I am very much in love with my hubby, both consciously and subconsciously, and I am exactly where I want to be (relationship wise). So have I covered all the bases that you might need to interpret my dreams. What would Freud say? Jung? I had some dream interpretation classes while pursing my degree and have some idea what various theorists would say, but you who know me best may be able to shed some light on this matter and help me end these NIGHTMARES.

I have no advice on ending the nightmares (I often attribute my own to hot, spicy food and/or eating too much). Also, my most frequent dreams are from high school days too. Why would that be?
I had repeated dreams about going back to Arcadia High School, not being able to find my locker & when I did finally find it I couldn't remember the lock combination, couldn't remember my schedule and where I needed to be. When I finally ended up in "my" class I didn't know what they were studying and I was very fearful. I "outgrew" having those dreams fortunately. Good luck.
It is amazing - I have that same nightmare! The one where Christie is with her high school boyfriend. Luckily every time I have it I wake suddenly, then being awake I know in my heart that she is a Ph.D., has Jesse (an incredibly loving & supportive husband and father)and four extraordinary children and all in her world is as it should be so I can peacefully go back to sleep.
I also have that locker combination dream. Mary Sue, maybe our lockers where more important than the guys we dated in high school? ;)
Wait a minute, I also have the locker dream. So maybe my locker, and the boy were both important to me. Or maybe I'm trying to be told to shove the old boyfriend in the locker then forget the combination.
LOVE the boy in the locker plan! Maybe you can make that happen in the next dream!
