I keep having reacurring dreams about this guy I went out with. He was a good guy and all, but things didn't work out, so I accepted it and moved on. But I keep dreaming about him. I want to know why?

Maybe subconsciously a part of you hasn't let go, and thusly is expressing itself when you dream...

I think the guy in your dream represents the "what if" factor.

What if... things had worked out? How would your life be different? Would it be better, or worse?

I sometimes dream about girls I used to know - or girls I see on TV - and wonder "what if..."

It's just natural to be curious about our life choices, and how those choices have made tangible differences in our lives.

Sounded very wise and apt :-)

Is the dream exactly the same each time? Or is he just in the dream each time? It would mean different things depending on which answer is correct. Could you describe the dreamin detail? Ie: where, who, surroundings, things doing... etc
