I have some incredible dreams.
I'm one of those lucky people who gets to experience amazing things like flying over the Great Barrier Reef or wandering the streets of Paris in my dreams.
I often have such exciting dreams I can't shake the feelings of them all day long.
Of course, this also extends itself to the men in my life.
I have dreamt I have been on dates with the strangest people, or kissed someone very inappropriate, and of course been swept of my feet by the current guy I have a crush on.
Because I am such a vivid dreamer, I sometimes have dreams where my emotions are so incredibly real and strong that I wake up in tears or smiling and feeling so in love.
Dreams are incredible; they can be a lovely way to experience something you might not do otherwise, and in the relationship world they can help you move through things.
If you've broken up with someone and just wish to be with them just one more time, a dream can help you do this without the pain that doing it in reality would bring.
But sometimes, dreams can be incredibly painful.
Years after a break-up, a dream about an ex can still evoke gut-wrenching emotion, as if the break-up was only yesterday.
When you thought you'd moved on from someone to have such a powerful dream about them is very unsettling. You start to wonder if the dream means something - as if maybe you're not over them after all.
I had a dream the other night about two guys I recently had strong feelings for and it had me wondering about its meaning for days. Maybe dreams like this exist to help us navigate through our feelings. They open up different avenues for us to explore and make us look
at things more honestly or from a different perspective.
I'd like to be romantic and believe that a dream is a wish your heart makes, but too often they are senseless and crazy and just don't mean anything.
But if you can get some meaning out of a dream and it can help you work through a problem, then maybe they are of some value after all.
