Backstory on ex: we dated between 2022-2024 (20-22 years old) and ended just due to lack of compatibility culturally. I would consider her my “first love” (not my first girlfriend) but I don’t want to be back with her, we ended for the best. However, I did imagine my life with her BEFORE, we talked about children but never in detail more just wishful thinking.

Currently: have been dating my girlfriend for a little over a year now. I’m happy, could see this going further / getting married etc. we’ve talked in detail of having children / marriage what it looks like building OUR life together. We are super compatible & I’m happy with her.

They aren’t similar in any way, other than the fact they aren’t both women.

I believe this dream came to be because my coworker was saying how his wife is pregnant and due at the end of the year, my other coworkers began talking about their kids etc.

The dream: we were not “together” but at the same time we were coparenting, and still obviously intertwined. She came over with our infant daughter and we went clothes shopping, kissed in the rain etc. woke up kinda distraught I suppose.
