I've Got Dreams

Took a nap today and had a dream that has me totally creeped out and upset. I know people perceive dreams like pictures: if they're not in them or no one is naked, they're not interested, but I'm going to tell you anyway.

Start dream

In a supermarket with two of my cousins. We were trying to steal a bag of chocolate chip cookies for my 30th birthday, but the place was filled with cops. Somehow we managed to steal the cookies undetected but ended up in a subway tunnel.

I was then with my father, mother and older sister trying to get to the birthday party. We were looking for the stairwell that led to the city streets but kept getting turned around. After what seemed like hours we found the street but it was pouring down raining and we had no umbrellas. I was anxious to get to the party so I looked to my right and saw Ponderosa's, which is where the party was. I went to open the door but it wouldn't open more than 3 inches. It felt like someone was holding it on the other side. I finally got the door open and everything went black. The lights came on and I was in my ex-boyfriend's living room.

I immediately pitched a fit with my sister. I kept screaming, 'What am I doing here?!' 'Why are you doing this to me?!' 'He hasn't changed!'
Her response was, 'Give him a chance... We're trying to do what's best for you... Give him a chance.'
He was standing by with a mischievous grin while his daughter excitedly talked about my birthday. I noticed two trunks near the wall. To show my sister that he hadn't changed, I opened them up to find thousands of love letters to and from other girls. As I was doing that, there was a knock at the door. He hurriedly ran past me, and once he opened it, he started whispering to the guest and closed the door behind him. I pushed past him to see a teenage boy there to pick up his daughter.

I ran to the bathroom and kept asking my cousins why they were doing this to me, and they just gave me a look that said, 'We had no choice.'

When I walked back to the living room, it was now filled with a large table, where his family members were being served dinner. He was sitting at the head of the table, dressed in a tuxedo, and to his right was his mother, and to his left was his step-mother. All she could say was, 'We're doing what's best for you.'

When I turned around I was in my house explaining my anger towards my mother and sister to my grandmother (who passed away five years ago). After I kept asking them why they would do something like that, they all gave me a look that said, 'Because you want him back.'

End dream

This dream creeps me out because I was sure that I was over him. Even before the relationship was over, I was over him. There were many months after the breakup that he contacted me to 'work things out', but I refused. But after having this dream, I'm started to doubt my feelings. I'm smart enough to know that I'm better off without him, but does this dream mean that my heart doesn't know?
