I was in medieval time, almost like a past life. I gave my willpower over to a higher power and I was caught in some type of war where I had to fight. The setting was outside at night with stars in the sky, and ocean on the horizon and I was nearby a fire. I saw an opponent coming towards me and I took out my sword. I had full confidence that I was a great swordsmen and I could take the opponent. I then battled with the person nearby the fire, that allowed us to see each other. I couldn't make out the gender at first. I ended up stabbing the person, but something in my heart told me to leave them wounded. I dropped my sword and helped the person to the ground. They ended up being a beautiful woman that I wounded. I then moved to heal them with my hands over their wound and held them close to me near the fire. The fire consumed both of us and I felt pure love overtake my whole body through the warmth of the fire. I then went to a new timeline that was modern, and in this modern day I was just myself and I walked to where the woman was working to go and see if she was ok. She was upset with me for stabbing her in this past life, she now turned into a woman in my real life whom recently lost connection with because I hurt her and she hurt me. She looked different than when I last saw her in my waking life, as she was more professionally dressed and mature now. Its as if the pain of the wound pushed us both to evolve. I just stared at her eyes with compassion for a moment and I could feel her love towards me although she kept a distance. I then woke up in real life out of the dream with a feeling of the fire overtaking my heart and my entire body was filled with love for the girl I now miss.
