boston.com Love Letters - "Get Out of My Dreams".

Posted by Booter (aka Diva) Dec 16 '10, 09:10

Hi Meredith,

About five years ago, I had a brief but intense relationship with a beautiful woman, "Suzanne." I had known her almost a decade prior and had a crush on her back then, and one day years later we bumped into each other and it seemed like kismet. In reality, though, it was bad timing; the relationship ended more or less amicably not long thereafter.

Now, I'm happily married to a woman who is truly my soul mate. We have a baby on the way and the future looks bright. Suzanne should be a distant memory, except she keeps popping up in my dreams.

This is happening more frequently now than it ever has over the past five years and I can't explain why. And these dreams are vivid. Suzanne appears just as I remember her, her voice is clear and articulate, and she always seems to pose questions as to why things never worked out with us. Nothing is ever resolved in these dreams, and I invariably wake up confused and angered by her intrusion, for lack of a better word.

I have not kept in touch with Suzanne, but for no particular reason we are "friends" on a certain social network. I say no particular reason because aside from the initial friending part, we have never contacted each other -- not once -- and I've looked at her page maybe twice. In one sense, I think de-friending her would be liberating because it would sever the last remaining tie -- albeit tenuous -- to Suzanne. On the other hand, in the days following a dream about Suzanne I feel compelled to contact her, but I have no idea what I would say and I doubt it would yield anything constructive.

Like you've often said, there is no such thing as closure. I believe that. I just want my dreams back.

Booter sez: I have an kinda legal prescription that might help you with this. Just give me a couple of days to contact that Vietnamese lady with the hotmail account and you'll be fine in no time.

    - Heh. It's funny how back in 1990, 1970 seemed *so* long ago. But 1990 doesn't. -- nm - mara Dec 16, 09:30 1
      - (I notice this with library books all the time. A 20-year-old book in 1990 seemed a lot more out of date than it does now.) -- nm - mara Dec 16, 09:36
She's a symbol of his fears about his marriage, that he "settled"... -- nm - znufrii Dec 16, 09:20 2

He should tell his soul mate and see if she's open to a threesome. -- nm - Loyola Dec 16, 09:19
All I know is that I'll have this in my head for the rest of the day. -- (link) - Eight Vermin a-Verming Dec 16, 09:18 [youtube]

- I think he is making the mistake of believing that if she shows up in his dreams, it is a sign or indication of a deep connection. - loosilu Dec 16, 09:15
I have the exact same problem, except it is the girl that I dated for 7 years that haunts me. - groiny Dec 16, 09:13
someone drop an anvil on this bitch -- nm - pixmas Dec 16, 09:13
How can you be married to your soul mate if you are obsessing after this woman? -- nm - amoxy Dec 16, 09:12 5
- I think you can have more than one -- nm - con_carne wants it so bad Dec 16, 09:17 3
  - of the people that pop up in my dreams sometimes, I guarantee they are not my soulmates. :) - loosilu Dec 16, 09:18 2
    - come on baby, we was made for each other! nm -- nm - Satan si Dec 16, 09:19 1
      - and then there are others who don't meet either criteria. -- nm - loosilu Dec 16, 09:20
- I think memories do pop up now and then ... and you just ignore them. -- nm - loosilu Dec 16, 09:13
what kind of answer does this guy expect, I wonder? -- nm - loosilu Dec 16, 09:12
