WAW w/Exit Affair or WW? - 1.5 Year Divorced (8)

[BL42]

So a weird thing happened to today...

Had a few uninvited dreams last week which I meant to post about at the time and should've because now I can't remember all the details, but...

The first one was mid last week about ExW. I was in the house we lived in together when engaged and first married (which we moved into and lived with OM2 in after physical separation). Anyway I'm in the basement playing arcade basketball with S7 and trying to get more time with him and D4 when ExW shows up with OM2 all flirty and I feel a tinge about my family and wishing it were back. That's one of those dreams were you kind of know you're dreaming but can't quite snap out of it. Definitely unwelcomed. And it's actually been quite awhile since I've had one.

The very next night I have a second dream this time about a woman I dated right after my first very long term girlfriend (9 years) and I broke up. She wasn't the only one I dated before ExW and it was more like a Summer fling really but she was hot and I definitely got attached too quickly and took some time to get over it. We had another very brief run awhile later after she broke up with the next guy, but anyway...in the dream she and I are flirting and I'm trying to win her back a bit. Again, kind of starting to wake up and realize it's not real but still not with it and dreaming.

So today...guess who reaches out to me via social media and asks "How's life?". This second dream girl! Bizarre timing, no? Is that crazy or what? We exchange a few messages and I leave it at that and then she asks "this might sound weird or inappropriate but I'd love to catch up". So I said why not, knowing I'm not attached in any way and would not pursue, and we talk for 20 mins. She's married with two kids and lives in suburbia. She tells me she married a guy who went to the same college and major as me and likes the same teams and vacations in a similar destination and jokes that he's like BL42 version 2 (which I've actually always noted to myself, but didn't say).

Anyway...she's married with kids so there's absolutely no way anything would happen. Just figured I'd mention it because A) the incredible timing and B) it just goes to show (even if there's no future potential) they always reach out and never stop thinking of you completely.
