She asked him if he wanted to be with her. No wild emotions, just a deep and loving question.
He thought about it for a while and later that morning - he told her that he wasn't sure. What he did know was that he did not like the way his life and his career was going ( they had moved from La - to Wyoming 2 years earlier, as a job promotion.)

He told me this story some several years after this dream and conversation.

Then he said - he knew that he didn't like his job and she sat with him while he thought about all this. Then she looked at him, and told him she wanted him to be happy - and that if he knew he was now realizing that he was in the wrong job, in the wrong part of the country - that she wanted him to go in and quit today ! And they would move back to Louisiana - no matter how much they might lose on their house and move back. And that is EXACTLY what he did.

That very day, re resigned. That night he told her how relieved he felt, and how free he now felt. He told me that they stayed up most of that night - just holding each other and - get this - celebrating his decision and their resolve to do what made them feel happy and content. The next morning - he told ( now 2 days after the original old GF dream ) that he thought about his old GF - (which was like 10 years ago - fyi) and realized that when he was dating her - he felt free in his life - and what he really wanted was that feeling of freedom and total love. AND HE had with Her - his wife. That was it. His dream was message from an angel to be happy. The whole thing, had almost nothing to do with his old GF.

When he told me this story - about 4 years after they moved back to LA - we were driving at night on a business trip - and it was about 11 pm at night. I was actually the one driving and when he finished he was crying, and he told me how much he loved his wife. I told him I had to stop the car and get out and breath -- as I felt overwhelmed with how much Love his wife has for him. I also asked him is she had any eligible sisters - as I wanted to be in relationship like that !

Her Love for him was a hundred times bigger, stronger and better than his dream of an old GF.

Isn't that something ! I get chills even now telling this story - and this is something that happened over 10 years ago. Love solves all. Be the love you want, desire and deserve in your whole life.

P.S. - they are still happily married and are one of my favorite couples on the planet.
