About 4-5 years ago, I met a guy that I'll call 'Chris.' Chris and I became friends, and were JUST friends, for about a year. Then, one night, Chris is hanging out at my house and we're both intoxicated and we end up sleeping together. After a few weeks I come to the conclusion that he and I are 'friends with benefits.' Something that I'm not proud of, but that was where I was at that point in my life.
Anyway... Chris and I are 'friends' on and off for about a year and a half. About two years ago I started talking to this guy that we'll call 'Jay' and I haven't spoken to Chris since. Jay and I started dating and we've been together for almost two years.
I haven't spoken to Chris... I haven't thought of Chris... Last night, I had about five dreams just about CHRIS. I can't remember much... Only that I supposedly cheated on Jay with Chris... Jay and I broke up... And then Chris and I were together, and I don't mean in a 'friends with benefits' sort of way either. Towards the end of the last dream, right before I woke up again, I remember feeling really... Happy.
Which is odd. Because, like I said, I haven't even thought of Chris in two years. During the times that Chris and I were together, I knew that he wasn't relationship material. I never had any delusions about being in love with him. Which just makes these dreams even stranger.
Different people have different types of dreams. And different people dreams for different reasons. So don't rule yourself off to one of the reasons listed, it could be anything really...
It could be:
You still have feelings for him
Your mind is telling you not to do it again
Your mind isn't going to let you forget what you did
Your mind is trying to get you to do it again
etc...
Then again, it could be anything. If I had time, I could make a good list, but I don't like to get to far ahead of myself. Your really better off just waiting it off and see if it subsides. If the dreams repeat, then you might wanna take into account what if. If the dream changes, then something new has come about. Again, lots of variables, tons of results that could be right and/or wrong. But its your dream and you should interpret it how you want to. [ Psycotheis's advice column | Ask Psycotheis A Question ]

They play upon our emotions and that's how they develop. They aren't random dreams. There is always some kind of meaning to them, whether they're big neon signs saying this and this or whether they're just small things.
Could there be the possibility that feelings for Chris could've manifested over the two years with Jay? You may not know it, but you could be having feelings for Chris, I'm not saying you do, but it's a possibility and to be quite frank, I can't think of any other reasons as to why you had those dreams unless they were playing off something already there.
