Don't let your psyche get you down

I'm not much one for remembering my dreams unless I specifically try, so I had to think a long time before I could remember a particularly resonant dream.

To set the scene, I had ended my first serious relationship a few months prior and was just starting a new one. It was one of the first nights of the new relationship. When I fell asleep, I dreamt that I out walking in a park that was across the street from my ex's house. I came around a corner and he was there. I walked up to him and took his hand and we talked for a long time. Eventually he told me that he had made a mistake and that everything was going to go back to the way it had been before. The last moment of the dream was an overwhelming feeling of security and safety, because I was enfolded in his arms.

I woke up confused, initially thinking that the dream had been real, but realized the truth moments later. Naturally, I felt a bit betrayed by my own subconscious!
