In my dream I was going through all the painful feelings I have now about the possible end of our relationship. Just completely devastated and feeling as though I was losing my best friend.
Next, Im in an airport terminal getting ready to board a plane. Im sobbing because my boyfriend has passed away. I have an overwhelming feeling of being alone. There's a group of people staring at me, and a young man approaches me to help me get on the plane. He hugs me and says "Im so sorry, we all know what happened."
Flash forward, and Im with my ex boyfriend from high school and college (I had a very long relationship with him and eventually broke it off, but I thought I would marry him for years before the relationship went downhill). He was much older, and we were still in love as if we had indeed spent our lives together. He tells me he has cancer and is going to die... and Im feeling the same things I did in the first part of the dream... and then I wake up.
I know this dream is very symbolic, what do you think of it?

I am leaning toward the possibility that his passing may be something of a relief for you more than it is about fear of being alone. The decision of having to end things with him will have been "made for you" by his passing . . .
The fact that an airport is involved and you are flying -- suggests FREEDOM.
There's a group of people staring at me, and a young man approaches me to help me get on the plane. He hugs me and says "Im so sorry, we all know what happened." -- The fact that there are people who are "there" for you, is telling you you wouldn't be alone. In fact, there is a man who hugs you . . . perhaps the man you could/should really be with --

You cannot be in love with the man you are with now, you are "in love" with and need a relationship right now. It's not the man, it's the "relationship". I don't care how physically debilitated you are, you can make it without him and will likely have a better chance of managing even physically if the mental abuse is removed. Find out what resources are available to you and use them.
