I had met up with a friend I used to be very close to but have not spoken to in over a year. She was very different, well established in her career, and I was concerned that she had started seeing her horrible ex boyfriend again. I went to use her bathroom and found pictures of them together and a crib and room set up for a child. She had been with him the whole time and said she was happy with him.
Dreams about reconnecting with old friends often reflect feelings of nostalgia, unresolved emotions, or concerns about your current relationships. In your dream, the friend represents a part of your past and possibly evokes feelings of both fondness and worry.
Seeing her in a well-established state may symbolize your own aspirations or feelings of inadequacy—perhaps you're comparing her success to your current situation. Her relationship with her ex-boyfriend could express your fears about choices others make or a reminder of your own boundaries in relationships.
The presence of a crib and a room set up for a child suggests themes of commitment, new beginnings, or significant life changes. It might indicate feelings about the responsibilities and expectations that come with relationships, particularly if they seem unwise or problematic, like her being with her "horrible" ex.
Overall, this dream might indicate a need for reflection on your own life choices and relationships. It could also reflect a yearning for connection and a concern for those you care about, particularly if you believe they are making choices that may not serve them well. Consider how these aspects resonate with your waking life feelings and experiences.
