I can help.

Face the facts.

The dream did really happen, and so you might say it caused your depression to appear, but it (imo) is not the source of your depression. The depression comes from darkness within yourself. Your belief is that you were meant to be together forever, this conflicts with the reality of the situation (as it is now) and your sorrow is spawned. Your attempt to believe in a reality other then the truth removes you from the world and from life.

A dream about the girl you LOVE? Present tense? You make it sound as if its over, but still use present tense.

To keep on living you have to fill yourself with light. When good things are inside you, good things will come out. If your full of positiveness and light you will realize that you are only so much of the entire universe and despite your ability to make choices, much of your fate is beyond control. When these things happen you will either see it through light goggles, or darkness goggles.

Gut reactions are not the only choice. This was a great link from Verk: http://www.yahooka.com/forum/51377130-post18.html

By accepting and understanding the line between what you can change and what you cannot you will discover you are on the road to being most who you are.

if you are sad over the dream, and become depressed then yea.


but you aren't asking that, you are asking how to get over her. the best way is to just move on man, keep living on.



btw, use periods, coherency helps alot.

and lol at the other dream

Can dreams cause depression? I would say no. Can they make you sad? Yes. Over a prolonged period of time? Doubtful. A dream isn't persistent in your life enough to really effect your mood so drastically and consistently as to become depressed unless it was reoccurring.

What I would say is that your dream reminded you of a possible outcome that did not come to be. The absence of this in your life is then what causes the depression. You think of how things could have potentially been (and this is always biased in these situations, usually focused on the good parts) and how this differs from how they are. Causes desire, discontentment, etc. You wanna pretty much fill your life with other things and make it, on it's own, so good that even without that potential addition you're still happy.

Life moves on, and basically you have to move with it. So what does that mean? Do stuff. Get out, get your mind off things, move on and focus on you. Take care of yourself, stay true to yourself, and you'll find someone who integrates well with that. It's just a matter of time. Till then, take this as a learning experience but don't let it bring you down too much. Become happy WITHOUT anybody, and you'll find someone who you can be happy with. That's the key.
