I dreamt of an old friend

I dreamt of someone I haven't seen in a long time and we were talking in the shops. I just wonder what does this dream mean I haven't seen this person in a full decade so I don't understand why he'd be in my dream

What does he represent to you?

He represents someone that I really want to apologise too. I mean I feel like we have things to say to each other. I just wanted to tell him that he was right about his character analysis and saying I needed to get myself together. He is stable much more than I and I got irritated and just was in this cycle of self distraction and I just wanted to tell him I'm sorry for how I behaved and thank you for protecting me from your creepy asshole friend. Coz his friend said "what would you say if I raped you" and he was so concerned he got his number pretended to be me and told him he was scum of the earth. Basically stopped me from being in harm's way and like I know he could be a bit harsh on me but I see deep down he meant well. I just have regrets for how our friendship ended so suddenly

That's so terrible what his friend did. Though he 'protected' you, doesn't it make you wonder what he was doing having a friend like that in the first place?

So, often dreams are the subconscious coming to terms with something when the waking mind has already dealt with it. Like tying up loose ends.

In this case I'd wager the loose end is acknowledging the truth in what your friend said, but not being able to resolve it in the waking world. So the dream creates the opportunity for it. You've grown and learned the lessons the friend was teaching, and your subconscious is letting you come to closure with it.

Well said, medkev13.

In saying at that time period I was a strange and crazy person who seemed to crush on the entire friend group. Which is so embarassing to think about because they were the first ones to listen about my feelings that's when I meant that boy (Teeg) which was friends with another boy called Odin. Which at the time was interested in me, we never dated I guess because I crushed on his friend Cameron I was so dumb back then I cringe at my behaviour. I wish I understood that it was my emotional neglect that was making me attach to men like that when they gave me a crumb of attention... It's something that I wish I could tell. In saying that. Teeg the one I dreamed about defended me and he's not responsible for what his friend said that's all on Caelum who said it. He's not friends with Caelum. Caelum has autism but he should know right from wrong he got the whole conversation when I was trolling him. I trusted Teeg. Then Teeg got Braden to give him caelums number and he pretended to be me to tell him that he was the scum of the earth. In saying all this. This is why I don't date because I just have weird attachment things with men and have a liability to becoming emotionally attached over every crumble of attention they give me. So yeah I'm still very embarrassed with my conduct at highschool. Which is why I remained single... I just think of myself well it's embarrassing

When psychologists say I had borderline personality I definitely agree because at that time period I did fit into the category of borderline though people would just say that I was a promiscuous person. Even though but yeah I still cringe at my behaviour. I avoid men don't want that saga to happen again.
