Came here because I had a really vivid dream about someone I had a fling/relationship with in high school. I wouldn't normally think it had any real significance but this carried some serious emotional weight.

me and this guy became close and I mean really close, I'd never felt such an instant connection to someone before, I was his first and we had a lot of bonding moments but because of the things going on in my life I had to leave and I also decided to stop the relationship/block him to spare him from my shitty family life. One of my biggest regrets to this day, tried finding him but was never able to locate him again. Tried *everything* and I'm 24 now so I've let it go but like I said, always sort of haunted me and wished I hadn't done that.

now that you've gotten some context the dream I had was this one where I had found him again, in different scenarios, ages, bodies. I don't know how to explain it but it always felt painful and familiar...just something so odd. It was long and like...more real than any other dream I'd ever really had up until this point, I don't want to make this post too long and a lot of it was kind of mundane.

It came to a point where we met in this sort of void and he told me he'll see me in the next life and this overwhelming sadness filled me when I woke up that I just haven't been able to shake it. It's not like I don't have sad dreams sometimes, this literally could just be nothing but maybe not?

can you know people from other lives or is it possible to be bound to another? I guess it can't because if we were bound then we'd still be together/at least have know each other now.

have you ever had an experience like this?

also, I don't know if this is a dumb question so please go easy on me. This is a really raw subject
