RE: Dream Link
There are at least four schools out on this one (in fact, probably much more!)
1) already said by others
2) you are still processing your own feelings regarding him
3) Dream impressions are difficult, because regardless of the event in the dream, what your brain receives and interprets may well be different to the actuality. For example, you may speak to a dog in your dream. The reality may be that you were visiting other beings, but because the impression of these is outside your normal frame of reference, your brain assumes a 'near match', so displays dog or other familiar item......this is very, very common, and also why many people dont remember the majority of their dreams - it has nothing to do with memory, but everything to do with Personal Power, and Frame of Reference. Everyone dreams, whether your brain can translate that information for waking consciousness is a different matter
4) Partners are the most important of relationships. This is because our relationship with a partner (note: by this, i mean the manner in which we relate, the manner in which we interact, not the mere fact of being with someone) is actually the manner in which we relaet with our inner opposite. Most relationships fail because people project onto their patrner, when in actual fact it is ALL to do with our relationships with ourselves. This is actually the CAUSE of 'attraction', physically manifested as 'chemistry', but actually, it is your soul/high self 'tickling' you to tell you this person has something to teach you about yourself (whether you like it or not!). So, in this scenario, what you and your friend are facing are a message of your relationship with your Inner Male.
It sounds like you wouldnt go back with this guy, so ask yourself, how is your relationship with yourself? Have you been feeling like youve been betraying yourself? do you feel like you let yourself down? Are you finding it hard to motivate or apply yourself? If this is the case, perhaps it has nothing to do with this person, it may be they were simply the most recent representative of your Inner Opposite, so your brain is using that image since their isnt an 'actual image' of your inner opposite.....
ANY of these, plus a plethora more could be accurate - i know this may not help you specifically interpret it, but if you intuit whats going on in your life right now, you may find one of those fits the bill...as i said, there could be quiet a few other possibilities too - dreams are rarely as simple as their face value...
