That ' s something that crossed my mind , or maybe it ' s tied to my lack of a relationship with my father ? Because the other person in the dream does feel younger than me almost in a childish way . not to say I ' m attracted to a kid , but the sense of a love is just very innocent , playful and us against the world as I said . Romantic aspect of it aside it ' s almost like an ideal relationship between a child and a parent . There definitely is a VERY strong romantic feeling there though , so maybe not . The other person in the dream is more of an energy moreorless just I wake up from the dreams with really strong vibes that it was a male , for whatever reason . So maybe you ' re not too far off with the whole projection of my younger inner self theory ? Either way , I absolutely agree with what you ' re saying about loving yourself . Thank you very much for your comment ! 3 Happy Thanksgiving
