Broke up a 10 year relationship about 6 months ago. He is already dating someone else and we have cut communication. I dream almost every night with him and now his gf is also appearing in my dreams. I don’t think of them during the day but they come in my dreams, and it feels like a lucid dream. What does it mean? How can I stop this? It really bothers me because I don’t really care about them.

Likely just means you’re still processing! Start a dream log - different dream content can mean different things

It doesn’t really mean anything.. dreams recycle faces from our lives and try to throw them in situations that could give us comfort sometimes. But lucid dreaming usually occurs when you’re mind is in over drive and feels less in control of real life. It might be an entirely unrelated thing stressing your mind. But it’s not restive. Exercising during the day helps me reduce dreams at night in general including any lucid ones.

Curious to know if anyone in here has ever scored a Van Winkle bottle. Just saw the bourbon release for 2022, they claim to have more bottles this year but I can't imagine actually getting one at MSRP.

Been since May 23rd that I’ve completed my background check. Called the 3rd party company and they said the background check has been sent to the hiring company for review as of last Friday. Should I wait another day before following up with my recruiter about the status of the background check? I don’t suspect there to be any crazy thing, but I’m just anxious. I’ve just never had a background check take at or over a week. Advice?

I’m dating someone new and it is going very well. He is kind, not high strung, with great values and shares my sense of humor. It is so easy and natural to spend multiple days with him.
Still I am having doubts because I think he isn’t very “intellectual”. To be clear, he’s intelligent! He is a great STEM role that requires an advanced degree. We share a love of reading as well. However he is not really interested in world affairs, does not follow the news closely, does not have a strong grasp
