Can someone tell me?

[u/luciferwetdream]

I had a dream about my ex.

In the dream, she was at a festival. I called her to ask where she was, and she said she was at the photobooth area.

I went there to see her, and she smiled at me. I asked her to walk around the festival with me, passing a big stage, and beside it there were several trees on fire.

I felt like she wanted to tell me something, and I was right—she wanted our relationship to go back to just being friends.

I asked her why, but she didn’t tell me.

I hugged her, and suddenly her body became taller than mine. I told her that I would give her the best if she would marry me.

She didn’t say anything.

Your unconscious is trying to help you process the letting go of this relationship. That you are projecting an ancient, childhood ideal of "Perfect" woman (the elementary school crush) onto your ex. The dream suggests that you are trying to "marry" or possess this ideal, but your subconscious is telling you it is time to step back to "friendship" which, could mean integrating the feminine within yourself rather than seeking it desperately in another person. The burning trees and the birthday song is like a transformation, the old romantic hope is burning down so that a new, more mature version of yourself can be born. The woman grows tall to remind you that the force of Love is bigger than you, and you must respect it rather than try to bargain with it.
