Emotionally drained by dream

    Over the last number of months (maybe 6) I've had a few (3 or 4) dreams about a girl I used to go out with 10 years ago - when I was in college. I had one last night - hence the post.

    The history - In brief
    I went out with her (foxy minx :D) in 1993 :eek:, and she finished college and I had a couple of years to go (never managed that - but that's another story) and she went to the states never to return - which *** hurt like nothing I'd ever (or have since) experienced, and it did take me a couple of years to really get over it.

    She rang me about 7 years ago from the States, and we did clear the air. Really we got close very quickly and it wasn't by any design, it just happened. Using my high EQ :D the real story is that with issues, she felt uncomfortable with how she felt being (history) independent and ran away :(

    The dreams
    The dreams aren't naughty :) just actually meeting her, which comes across as emotionally being very intense.

    The result
    I end up completely emotionally drained - in that I seem to carry a great sadness because of the dream, yet I do feel absolutely drained from it for the next day or two, and then I'm back to normal. Now I can (generally) read people emotionally like a book, and today I noticed people looking at me feeling sorry for me because I looked so sad. Yet, I'm not sad, or depressive (to any degree), but I was carrying that sadness today, I guess I'll be back to the norm :) tomorrow.

    Normally
    I don't think about her, when I do, I do remember her fondly, but that was a long long time ago.

    The question
    Does anyone else get this? or is my subconscious messing with me, or telling me something I really don't (or should) need to know?

    Any ideas?

    Thx

    D.

    Question:

    Do you have a girlfriend?... I mean... a lover ... if not, then nothing helps you get over the last one like the next one and

    <insert over used condescending phrase[1]>

    so you see... it all works out.

    Yeah TypeDef I know what you're saying :) , but this was a long time ago, and although I don't have a g/f at this exact mo., I don't consciously know why the subconscious is acting up on this - I could easily suggest other things it could construct :D Just wonder does anyone else get this ?

    Thx
