I'm the kind of person who notes down her dreams with the specific details and likes to talk about it. While I understand that my dreams are not real, my feelings and experiences are. What and how that dream made me feel is extremely real.
After half a decade, this man lets me know how he finds it childish and that I should stop talking about it so much. Now had I known earlier how he felt about my dreams, I wouldn't have talked to him about my dreams. Countless texts of 'I had a dream about you' and 'remind me to tell you about my dream'
I feel so ashamed and embarrassed right now! I thought telling someone about your dreams was normal. Especially when you have a dream about them, they must be special to you. This is why I used to ask him if he had any dreams the previous night.
I think what we have is a difference in topics of discussion but I find this emotionally isolating. I was too shocked to learn that it was not a safe space. I'm guilty of holding his dream self accountable for my feelings a couple of times max but I thought we were joking about it when he (fake) apologized for it.
And I get that listening to someone else's dreams can get boring quickly. It's just that I put in quite some effort into recollecting them and noting down the tiny details and telling him about it, so it feels disheartening to know that he's just not that into it.
