I have always had vivid dreams. I am usually able to remember them and dissect them, I used to write them down as soon as I woke up. Now, I don’t need to. They stick with me throughout my days.

My period has been irregular since I was fifteen but I often dream I get my period the night before it arrives. I have spoken to dead ancestors in my dreams, I have received very clear messages for action from them.

So the fact that I still dream about my ex despite wanting nothing to do with him, despite being in a happy and healthy relationship more than two years after ours ended horribly, is something that could very easily mess with a person like me.

I ask my guides for more information and I try to shield up to protect myself from his negative influences.
