I sometimes have dreams where I receive information on other people.  I find these dreams useful in that I have a guideline to gauge how I should react when I am interacting with them.

I was speaking to a close friend.  It was a friendly conversation over nothing in particular.  I heard a voice speak and knew it was her ex-girlfriend’s.  The comment was about what we were speaking of.  The conversation continued and the ex-girlfriend came into view and stood with my friend.  The girlfriend made another comment about the subject we were on, a different one.  She smiled and looked like she was really enjoying herself.  My friend looked very happy as well. I thought to myself, “Oh, these two are back together.”  Maybe a good thing, maybe not.

In this dream, I am shown that my friend will either reunite with her former girlfriend now or in the near future -OR- the girlfriend she currently has is basically like her ex-girlfriend.  I believe the dream is referencing her current girlfriend and that the current girlfriend is similar to the old girlfriend.  I notice this when I hear certain comments she makes which reflect her beliefs and feelings.

It would make sense for my friend to be attracted to the same type of person, as it tends to be what all of us do.  For example, if you like someone who is masterful and takes control, then more than likely that is what you will be attracted to every time.  The next boyfriend/girlfriend might be a better or worse version of this.  Hopefully you will work on improving yourself and will attract a better version. If my sister-in-law matured herself, then she would most likely pick a more mature version of her ex-girlfriend to be with.  This could mean that there is a better possibility of the relationship working out.  But if she picked the same version of her ex again, then there will definitely be unhappiness ahead.

The gauge for me in this situation is to leave certain issues alone if the subject comes up.  With this particular personality type, I could cause problems by trying to continue a conversation that makes them uncomfortable.  They would feel as if I was judging them.  I don’t want to cause problems for my friend, as she is very happy, and so I will keep my mouth shut when I realize I have wandered into difficult territory.
