The past few nights I have been having a series of odd dreams. Odd for me at least, but then, my dreams are usually fantastic adventures that have little or nothing to do with everyday life. These dreams, however, are actually more like memories.
So far, I have had only one memory-dream per night. But the memory repeats over and over, a different memory each night. Each one is a moment that I wish I had handled differently, usually because I ended up hurting someone's feelings. After the first two or three repeats, I start to be able to change things, but the changes are never for the better. I wake up miserable, feeling guilty and vaguely as if I made things worse somehow, even though it's just a dream.
I assume that this has something to do with unresolved feelings about those moments, but I don't know what more I can do. It's not like I can go back and change things, even if I managed to not make things worse as I do in my dreams. And most of the people involved I'm no longer even in contact with.
Dreams are frustrating.
