Dream House Falling

I had a dream that I was with my family and I watched them go inside, except for me and patty stayed behind. As we watched the house started to collapse. First, at the very top, then the middle leaving only the bottom in tact. I think I did the right thing with George. It hurts of course, but I want to trust myself. I am breaking an old pattern. That's not easy. I need to trust this change, and learn from it. I felt the uneasiness on my part, I had to lie to please him, I had to lose weight before seeing him, I had to please him, I had to match his intensity. And you know, what? Patty was with me. She was my support. She is my support. I am thankful for that.

The house collapsing may reflect an old relationship structure or emotional pattern losing its hold on you. Because you recognized the signs early and stepped away, your mind may be processing both the grief and the disruption of a familiar cycle.

What’s especially meaningful is that:

  • You stayed outside the house.
    In the dream, you weren’t inside when it collapsed. That can symbolize not fully entering something that would have eventually become unstable for you emotionally.
  • The collapse happened in stages.
    Trauma patterns often unravel intellectually first (“something feels off”), then emotionally (“maybe I’m overreacting”), before finally settling into a deeper realization. Your dream mirrors that gradual recognition.
  • The foundation remained.
    Ending the relationship may have shaken your expectations, hopes, or confidence temporarily, but the dream suggests your core self is still intact. In fact, choosing to leave early may be the foundation strengthening.

The doubt afterward also makes sense psychologically. Breaking familiar patterns can feel wrong at first precisely because they’re familiar. Your nervous system may be used to equating uncertainty, over-efforting, or emotional instability with connection. So choosing differently can create a strange mix of relief and grief.

What you described — “I saw the signs early” — is significant. That’s not the same as avoidance. It sounds more like discernment:

  • noticing familiar dynamics,
  • trusting your perception sooner,
  • and acting before becoming deeply entangled.

Dreams often process emotional decisions symbolically before we fully accept them consciously. Your dream doesn’t read like punishment or failure to me. It reads more like witnessing an old structure collapse while realizing you no longer have to go down with it.

I'm grateful for...

- My dreams that help guide me

- Getting a little better from being sick

- Hope to find true love soon

- My health physically, mentally and emotionally

Trauma Bonding

I had a hard weekend. I was thinking a lot about if I made a mistake with George. I think it's the loss if anything. The loss of something that could have been. A boyfriend. A partner. A feeling that I'm not alone. That I have someone who cares and adores me. He thought I was adorable. He was falling for me. That's the part I miss. Not him exactly. Maybe him in the future, but I think that reality would have settled in eventually and maybe my gut would have proved me right. I am learning to trust my gut. I did with information. The feeling I had that Sunday, the not sleeping, the vaping, the snoring, the not coming when he said he would. Those were all signs by gut was holding on to. I am good at trusting my gut., I know it so well. I think about what Kat said. Is it expansion or contraction. This felt like both, but contraction when he said he would come and contraction when I said I would maybe go. That's worth paying attention to.  Now what Jenny said really hit home...

Keep Connecting

I had coffee with Fer yesterday. It was nice to catch up. She and I can relate to each other. Even when I mentioned that I liked it when men were mean because it was familiar, she got it. Justin also called and I chatted with him. I don't have feelings or that sense of attachment like before, though. That's a good thing. Just a friend. It helps to have other distractions. For example, friends, cycling, and now dating. I am going to meet JC today. So curious to what his real name is. I hope it goes well, but my expectations are low, I don't know why. Maybe because I feel like that protects me from rejection. It stings, but then I'm fine. So, I need to keep putting myself out there. Keep moving. Keep connecting.  I'm grateful for... - family - friends - my health physically, emotionally, and mentally  - feeling ok during recovery from the ride

This Too Shall Pass

Sergio asked me what I expect from him. It's a vulnerable question, but maybe more vulnerable for me that has to answer it. The truth is I don't expect anything from him. He's there, I'm here. He lives in Medellin. If we don't. turn into anything I would still be content. Because we had a beautiful connection. So, if it turns into something great. It would be work, though. If it doesn't, that's great too. I don't think he's expecting that. I am not sure what he expects from me. Sex, just support on his ride, a relationship. I don't know if it is worth asking him, or if after my question it would sway him. Maybe leave it as is and he can answer that if he wants without be asking. It has been fun though, I like the connection. The constant communication. The adventurous spirit. But, this too shall pass. Just like I told him that is what I would say to my future self If I had the chance earlier. This too shall pass, even the good things. So don'...
