I'm in a relationship with whom I believe (and my current bf also) is my soulmate...

I often wish that I was able to control my dreams, but sadly this is not the case and it means that we sometimes just have to put up with the things that we dream at night. It can be hard when we don't know why we dream the things that we do, but one of the things that you should remember is that just because you are dreaming about somebody doesn't mean that you have any kind of feelings towards them. Try to think about other things before you go to bed, as often this can encourage your mind to dream about other things.

I agree with you about me needing to think of other things before i go to bed as it will help me dream of other things...but its crazy though, as long as I was with my ex, I don't think of him at all so i dont why I am having reoccuring dreams about him. But like you said, i just need to put up with it, and put it away i guess.

you are still unable to forget means those are not unwanted thoughts. they have a special place in your heart.

are you saying that you are still dreaming your past lover or ex? and you have your current boyfriend now? well I think that's only a dream. maybe your ex has something in your mind or maybe you just remembering the past and comparing it to the future. well I can't see any wrong here. as long as your not cheating your current there will be no problem.

So, the question being? Are you wanting to know why you're having them or how to rid yourself of them? I've had the same issue and have been with my soulmate for 13 years but from time to time, have a dream of an ex. Yes, it's disturbing but I did what any modern computer junky would do, I looked it up and what it could mean. There's many different angles to look at it...one being, that person could be thinking of you or two, you have unresolved issues with that person or three, it could be just a familiar pattern with a present lover to that of your past love. I wouldn't really be too offput by this as disturbing as it can be. I'm sure our present loves have had similar dreams of their exes. Dreams I think can be overanalyzed and I feel people put too much stock into believing they really define something. I know where I am and how happy I am now and wasn't with the past, it really doesn't even weigh on my brain anymore. Time will help you deal with the shock of having these dreams. I think it's natural.

you are perfectly on the money and i think you are right...maybe we do overanalyze dreams...i was kinda brought up around most dreams to have meaning but its probably just nothing...I am happy with the guy that i am with now, and wouldnt change any aspect of him for the world, and dont intend on looking back. Thanks much for your input this has really helped me breathe a little! :)
