Why Syzygy

I used to have vivid dreams of my ex almost every night. I had been through the same thing with another ex bf. In that case, I was able to locate him. As soon as we spoke, I had no more dreams. But with my ex dh; there were times when I woke up believing that we had gotten back together, because we always did, in my dreams.

I was working with a therapist during that time; and he was interested in my dreams. The only thing I could figure out, was that the part of myself that matched his qualities was missing. And I needed it back.

A couple of days ago I watched this video. At about the one minute mark she talks about losing her father. And how in losing him, she had lost part of herself. "The girl he knew and loved died with him", she says. That hit me as profound. Even though there's not a physical death, when we lose someone, we lose the part of ourselves that the person knows. For example, when my own dad died, I was left w/o his view of me. No one else knew me like he did. I just have memories.



So if I had the dreams you do, I would approach it the same way. I never did figure out what it was that I was missing. But over time the dreams changed. We were no longer getting back together because I no longer wanted to.

In whatever way that man viewed you, what he loved about you, may be lost. You can find it
