“I had the strangest dream about my boyfriend!” We can learn a lot about our relationships from our dreams. The joys and frustrations of our everyday lives are reflected in our dreams, which is the time when our subconscious mind works through the events we have experienced during the day. If you find yourself dreaming about a relationship, this indicates that that relationship is occupying a large amount of your waking conscious activity, and that you are dwelling on it in your thoughts. The things you dream about the relationship are, of course, significant as well. If you dream of fights and conflicts, this indicates problems you are having in the relationship and the need to find positive ways of resolving your conflicts.
