Dear Dream Momma,
I hope you can help me. Last night I had a very significant dream. My boyfriend kept turning into a rabbit, then back into a human. When he was a rabbit, he would turn very mad, out of control, eat sharp objects and do other things to endanger his life.
I spent a great deal of time trying to manage him. I became aware that while he was with me (as a human) he was treating me like a princess, but I had found out (from one of my university professors!) that behind my back he was calling me names like a whore, and said I was promiscuous.
In the same dream I went to visit my newly married best friend who had just come back from her honeymoon where she flew over all of these dangerous places, including Afghanistan. Despite this she was blissfully satisfied, and her new house was looking small, but beautifully decorated. Although she had only just gotten married, she had a 20-week-old baby.
In real life I have a boyfriend of one year with whom I am currently in a long-distance relationship. He gets frustrated with me for asking if he cheats all the time. I also have a best friend who got married two weeks ago. She has no baby.
Dear Rabbit’s Girlfriend (RG),
