I was talking to my counselor/therapist about my week and he asks if I am still struggling with thoughts from two years ago and I said "I do not know" he then told me that in a way, I went through the same struggle as my brother. That my ex was my everything and I was grieving that loss like she was dead. I then said "Do not ever compare me to my brother. He is amazing and stronger than I will ever beI was talking to my counselor/therapist about my week and he asks if I am still struggling with thoughts from two years ago and I said "I do not know" he then told me that in a way, I went through the same struggle as my brother. That my ex was my everything and I was grieving that loss like she was dead. I then said "Do not ever compare me to my brother. He is amazing and stronger than I will ever be" He then said "What about Luna? Your ex's daughter? Didn't you want to adopt her?" I said "How did you know that? I have never told anyone that" The dream shifts a little and now the therapist is me. I ask "What the heck is going on?" He says "I am you. Your past, present, and future." He shows me random memories from my past: Me mistaking a stranger for my dad 12 years ago, to me talking with my ex about not wanting anything to do with her, to finding out my brothers best friend and everything had died. He then told me that the future was bright, and I had a lot of good memories left. He then said "I cannot show you them though" I then woke up.
This dream suggests that you have unresolved emotions from a past relationship, represented by your ex, and that these thoughts still linger in your mind. The presence of your therapist or counselor indicates a desire to seek guidance and support in dealing with these struggles. The comparison made by the therapist between your own struggle and that of your brother may reflect a sense of resentment or inadequacy in comparison to your sibling. However, the mention of Luna, your ex's daughter, and your desire to adopt her suggests a longing for a familial connection and a desire to move forward in a positive way.
The shift in the dream where the therapist becomes you may signify an internalization of your own thoughts and emotions. It suggests that you have the ability to become your own counselor and guide yourself through your past, present, and future. The random memories from your past represent significant moments and experiences that have shaped you.
The therapist's reassurance that the future is bright and filled with good memories indicates a sense of hope and optimism. However, the inability to see these memories in the dream may suggest a need to trust in the unknown and have faith that positive experiences are yet to come.
Overall, this dream highlights the need to address unresolved emotions from the past and seek support in navigating through them. It also emphasizes the importance of self-reflection and self-compassion in finding healing and moving towards a brighter future.
