I hope I can get to a similar point of freedom. Wha you describe sounds like a great release or relief and interesting that this came in a dream - from your own (and free) unconscious. How do you think this will translate into life for you? Will you continue to contact her, for example? Or do so with different purpose?

What you have written resonated with me, but from a different place. My long term therapy ended abruptly and brutally almost a year to the day. A couple of months ago, I saw her in the street. It was deeply distressing for me. There was something about seeing her physical being out there in the world which was extremely painful. I remembered that she was a person, an embodied being which I loved. All my feelings of yearning surfaced and yet she was totally unaware (she didn't see me) and making her way in the world without me and without my feelings.

Thank you for sharing this. It is good to know that things change.
