Ex-boyfriend
Background: Two years ago, I left a sexually abusive relationship with a guy named Zach. It wasn't until very recently that I was able to forgive Zach for what he did in order to move on.
The other night, I dreamt that I was riding in a horse-drawn wagon. I was sitting up front next to Larry the Cable Guy. Then I realized that Zach was sitting on the other side of Larry. Then it was just me and Zach talking. He was flirting with me, and he noticed my ring and asked if my father had bought it for me. I tried to tell him it was my engagement ring, but I couldn't talk for several minutes. When I finally managed to say it, he looked at me funny. I said "Ol' dude" (which is how he used to refer to the guy I was with before him, who is now my fiance for real.) He tried to kiss me, but I refused, even though I somehow found myself attracted to him. I remember thinking that I'd finally figured out what attracted me to him in the first place. The last thing I remember about the dream was someone discovering him lying on top of me (nothing else going on), and the person made a joke about it.
