Hi John – \u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/span>Sounds like love to me. \u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/span>I don\u2019t know how much you and your girlfriend get to see each other, but it seems like there\u2019s enough distance between you for it to be a problem. \u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/span>Do you think she\u2019s really dating someone else? Or do you think that\u2019s just your own head going crazy with worry – \u2019cause you aren\u2019t able to get over there to see her as much as you want? \u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/span>It\u2019s clear from your dream you\u2019re worried she might start dating someone. And, let\u2019s face it, the image of you two \u201cheading different directions\u201d on the escalators isn\u2019t too reassuring. I get the feeling that the distance is causing you two to drift apart – and that it\u2019s hard all around. \u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/span>The fact that she\u2019s dating a guy (in the dream) named John suggests she wants to be dating you (that\u2019s why she\u2019s with a guy named John) – but the distance is making it hard. \u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/span>Have you spoken with her yet about your feelings? If you two really are in love and really want to be together, why don\u2019t you both work on getting a car – so you can cruise back and forth and visit each other? (Five hundred bucks ought to get you something you can drive around – ten weeks of work at a part-time job). \u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/span>If she doesn\u2019t feel that committed, maybe it\u2019s a sign – that there\u2019s more than distance separating you both. \u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/span>(If it\u2019s love, why does it have to hurt so much?)<\/span><\/p>\n
