Having a boyfriend yet dreaming of being with an opposite-sex friend? By Anonymous | Published on December 18, 2024

I've been living with my boyfriend for over two years, and recently, our relationship has entered a period of monotony. My boyfriend feels quite secure in our relationship and usually doesn't initiate plans for us to do activities together or try new things. My sense of security is lower, making me sensitive about our relationship. Lately, because of my busy work schedule, I've been thinking less about things like strengthening our bond, and we both just go to bed, eat, and go to work. I've had dreams about a former classmate I liked recently (we still keep in touch occasionally, and he knows I liked him before and that I'm now with a boyfriend). In the dreams, I can feel that he likes me too, and I enjoy being with him. I want to be closer to him and spend more time with him... What should I do? Has anyone else experienced this? How can I adjust it properly?

Hello, I'm Strawberry!

The questioner has recently had two dreams about a male classmate he used to like. This is because he has entered a period of emotional flatness with his boyfriend. The questioner feels very strange and troubled about such dreams. He feels that his dreams seem to have let his boyfriend down a bit. However, he is excited to see what will happen next!

In a relationship, the feelings between lovers can be divided into the following stages: the honeymoon period, the adjustment period, the boredom period, the friction period, the dull period, and the dependence period. The questioner said that he and his boyfriend are in the dull period. But there's no need to worry! This is just a phase that every couple goes through. It's only when two people have overcome all the trials that they can truly understand the value of mutual understanding and tolerance. And it's only by working hard to maintain the relationship that they can appreciate each other's intentions and sincerity. So let's give it a go!

Maybe more people chase romantic love, but there's nothing better than being together and living a simple life. Ordinary care makes us feel warmer. Romantic love is unforgettable, but it's just a fleeting bloom. True feelings are warm and real!

Do you have a boyfriend, but you dream of wanting to be with a friend of the opposite sex? It's a common fantasy! Has anyone experienced this? How do you adjust?

Let's make up for that regret!

The other person is someone the questioner liked before, and the other person also knows that the questioner likes them. I'm excited to find out why you didn't get together in the first place. During school, the feelings between classmates were pure and beautiful, a testament to the innocence of adolescence.

The questioner and her boyfriend are going through a dry spell. At this time, she gets in touch with a classmate she used to like. In reality, you are not together, which is more or less a pity for the questioner. But guess what? The dream may be a scene that the questioner has fantasized about a long time ago! So, the unachievable scene can only be fulfilled through dreams to satisfy her regret at that time. How exciting is that?

Let's talk about how we can bring our standards for a partner into our relationships with other people!

The questioner said that her boyfriend is more laid-back about the relationship, so he isn't as proactive in planning or doing things with her to improve it and keep things fresh. The questioner is the opposite. She is beginning to feel insecure in the relationship, but because of her busy work schedule, she doesn't have time to improve it, which is gradually drifting apart.

The questioner has recently had two amazing dreams about someone they used to like. The other person knows that the questioner used to like him, and you are still in contact. There's a saying that not getting what you want is always for the best. Perhaps it's because you haven't been together yet, so from your contact, the questioner feels that the other person is still very good and the person in your heart is more or less an idealized version of who they really are.

In the heart of the questioner, there are certain standards for the other half. The questioner cannot see them in her boyfriend, so she subconsciously projects this hope onto this classmate she used to like, simply because he is someone you used to like, and you are still in touch. The way you get along in your dreams is the standard the questioner has for her partner in reality—and it's a great standard!

● Look for the problems you have with each other and communicate!

The questioner said that he and his boyfriend are in a period of monotony, but as long as they find the right way to get along after this, they will enter a period of dependence, when they will become more dependent on each other—and that's a good thing!

The questioner's boyfriend is pretty resilient, so he hasn't noticed that the questioner has some thoughts about the relationship. As the one with low sense of security, the questioner has the chance to take the initiative to communicate with her boyfriend about the problem. It is said that communication is the bridge of a relationship, and your relationship can be warmed up through communication.

The boyfriend the questioner needs the questioner to point out is not necessarily bad. Think about what attracted you to each other in the beginning. That infatuation may have faded after the honeymoon period, but you are still you, and the good things about you are still there. It's just that some weariness in life has made you lose the desire to appreciate each other, so you see more of the other person's flaws. But don't worry! This is something you can easily fix.

I really hope my answer is helpful to the original poster! Best wishes!

Good morning, Thank you for your question. Best regards,

You inquired about dreams, and I am pleased to share my insights with you.

I hope this is of some assistance to you.

1. Regarding dreams of being with a friend of the opposite sex.

The relationship between you and your boyfriend is currently experiencing a period of stagnation.

The relationship between you and your boyfriend has reached a point of stagnation.

You recently had a dream about a male classmate with whom you had a previous romantic interest.

You have expressed some concern.

There are numerous theories regarding the study of dreams.

I have experienced a comparable dream myself.

I have also devoted considerable time to reflection on this matter.

I would like to take this opportunity to share with you the following:

Each individual is responsible for interpreting their own dreams.

It is important to note that even if two individuals have an identical dream, the underlying meaning may be entirely different.

Dreams provide insight into aspects of one's personality that may not be immediately apparent.

Dreams can provide insight into aspects of one's personality that may not be immediately apparent. They can reveal hidden desires, intuitive insights, and judgments that may not be consciously recognized.

When a relationship enters a period of stagnation, it is not uncommon to experience a sense of dissatisfaction.

For instance, you may desire to be liked or to become closer to another individual.

This is why you may have had this dream.

This does not necessitate a continued affinity for the former male classmate.

It is possible that this is a wish of ours.

If we were to consider the possibility of sobriety, would there be a chance that you and this male classmate you like would get together?

If we were to make a choice, would you select this male classmate or your current boyfriend?

Following such an exercise, it may be easier to move forward.

It is not uncommon to form a strong attachment to a male classmate in dreams or imagination.

There is no definitive answer.

Mr. Zhu Jianjun suggests that when it comes to dreams, one can attempt to experience and understand them from the whole to the parts.

The first step is to assess the overall atmosphere of the dream.

Secondly, the theme of the dream should be tentatively determined.

Step 3: Identify any recurring elements in the dream.

Step 4: Focus on the unique elements of the dream narrative.

Step 5: Use associations to gain further insight.

Finally, identify images with more obvious meanings.

In some cases, the specific person depicted in a dream may not be the primary focus, but rather an image that represents a subconscious concept.

It may also indicate that we still have unresolved feelings towards the male classmate from our past, which are influencing our current situation.

This does not indicate that the relationship between you and your boyfriend is in jeopardy.

2. What adjustments can we make to our lives in light of the dream?

2. What adjustments can we make to our lives in light of the dream?

You indicated that your boyfriend perceives the relationship to be more secure, whereas you feel less secure.

You indicated that your boyfriend perceives the relationship to be more secure, whereas you feel less secure.

Have you ever considered the source of your concerns?

What steps can be taken to enhance feelings of security?

What strategies can be employed to navigate the current phase of the relationship and rekindle passion?

I believe this is a topic worthy of our consideration.

It is a common misconception that dreaming about the opposite sex indicates a loss of love.

We anticipate a closer relationship.

In light of these considerations, what steps can we take to strengthen our relationship?

Should you consider creating something new, or perhaps engaging in an activity with your boyfriend?

These are all methods of achieving personal satisfaction.

Please disseminate these materials.

Best regards,

Gwendolyn Hayes The more one explores different philosophical and scientific ideas, the more inquisitive they become.

I understand your feelings and it's completely normal to have those dreams about someone from the past. It might be a sign that you're seeking excitement or connection in your life. Maybe you could talk to your boyfriend about how you feel and suggest doing something new together, like taking a class or going on a trip.

Rebecca Crown Failure is delay, not defeat. It is a temporary detour, not a dead end.

Dreams can be so vivid sometimes, but remember they are just reflections of our subconscious. It sounds like you're feeling unfulfilled in some way. Have you considered discussing with your partner ways to bring novelty into your relationship? It's important for both of you to feel excited and connected.

Margot Miller Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out.

It seems like your relationship has settled into a routine, which can happen over time. The dreams may be highlighting your desire for more emotional intimacy. Perhaps you could explore what's missing in your current relationship and find ways to reconnect with your boyfriend.

Martin Jackson In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.

The fact that you're having these dreams suggests there might be an area in your life that needs attention. Instead of focusing on the dream itself, try to identify what aspect of your relationship or personal life you wish was different and address that with your partner.

Zephaniah Miller Teachers are the custodians of dreams and the guides to reality.

Dreaming about someone from the past doesn't necessarily mean you want to be with them; it could be about nostalgia or longing for a part of yourself that feels lost. Consider sharing your feelings with your boyfriend and see if you can rekindle that spark between you.
