welcome back. i know you have complex feelings towards me sycld but contain your anger in PS threads for heaven's sake

the part that's his fantasy is her hating to see him with another girl. that's pure fantasy. yes, dream-he was saying he needs to stop pining over her, but without actually making that decision (in an awake, self-conscious state, not a dream state), nothing is going to happen.

for the record, i don't disagree that our dreams can tell us about our emotional states. what i/we said was that there is no external wisdom to be gained from dreams. it's tempting to think "she had feelings for me in my dream, so my unconscious mind is telling me that she has feelings for me", but that's complete rubbish. THAT is what we were saying.

(or made up as a fantasy.)

seriously, this cannot be reinforced enough. the relation to the OP's position is more important than the metaphysics (heh) of dreams, and the most important thing for him to hear and tell himself is that this girl is never going to return his feelings and he needs to move on.
