THE DREAM in my dream me, my ex and someone else were skydiving. We jumped out of the plane and all held hands and counted to 20 before we had to open our parachutes. We hugged and stuff in the air and played and laughed. Then it was time to open our parachutes. We all pulled our cords and mine opened and the 3rd person's opened... however my ex's parachute didn't open. It was broken. I was completely frantic and so scared. Then some things happened that all went real fast (me trying to figure out how to save her). Then finally I was on the ground safely and so was the 3rd person and I was looking around trying to figure out if someone saved my ex. All of the sudden her body hit the ground with tremendous speed. I ran to her screaming and she was dead and I was absolutely devastated just crying out like I've never cried before. I woke up very upset and it took me a moment to realize it was a dream. I am still upset about it. We haven't talked or seen each other for almost 4 months. what do you think this means? should I try to become friends with her because it's better than losing her completely (as if she died).
