I dreamed of my ex last night, which I seem to do once a year or so. He was suffering terrible emotional/mental anguish which showed in his face. It really hurt to look at him. I couldn't tell what was wrong and he kept rejecting my efforts to comfort him or "make it better".Finally, a little boy appeared, somewhat of a cut-out figure in the sense he appeared to be an object rather than a real person. I got the sense my ex was pouring all his love into this little child figure because everybody else he had tried to love had failed him and he was very frightened. When I woke up, I felt so terrible, such deep compassion for him, it hung with me all day. In reality, to my knowledge, he has no biological children of his own and is in a long term compatible marriage. What do you think it meant? In the chart I am Mercury, he is Jupiter, so there is no reception between us to speak of and no contact indicated (as in real life), Saturn and Venus are trining him, Venus separating, Saturn retrograding. Can anyone squeeze out any meaning from this? Is this just left over remorse from our long ago parting, or does he symbolize someone/something else? What about the child?
