In each and every single dream, one of us tells the other that they are moving to Montreal, Canada. In some dreams, I am the one about to move, in some others they are.

We do not have any connections with Montréal at all. We both live halfway across the world from Montréal. Hence, I'm very confused as to why I would be having such repetitive dreams.

I never dream of past friends, relatives, acquaintances, crushes or flings. This person is the only one who sporadically appears in my dreams once in a while regardless of what is happening in my life. It's a constant.

Those dreams seem to take place in this era. They don't seem to be memories of some distant past.

I would really appreciate an interpretation of these strange repetitive dreams.

That is curious. Montreal obviously means something in your own dream vocabulary and is connected with your past relationship, or some aspect of that relationship as it relates to your psyche, mind, or emotions.

So, what was your relationship with this person?

Could there be any unfinished mental/emotional business remaining? Did that relationship impact you in some way which remains unresolved?

If there is nothing unfinished/unresolved between you or within yourself, then what do you associate with this person? What part of yourself do you associate with this person?

What do you associate with Montreal? What are a few words that pop into your mind?

I don't really see a connection with Montreal in any way. I mean, it seems to be a great city but I don't have any ties over there.

This person is someone I had a romantic encounter with. I can't really explain whether or not we have unfinished business because the way it "ended" was slightly blurry and abrupt.

The story has impacted me greatly as the person sort of fell off the face of the earth.

Regarding my current situation, I am looking for a job, so of course, it's an ideal situation to be in. I'm very anxious so this anxiety triggers all sorts of different emotions.

That said, although Montréal might represent my need for novelty and freedom, I had two of these dreams when I had a great job, lived in a new city and made some new romantic encounters. At the time, I had nothing to complain about, I was very happy.

I also do not understand why this person appears in these dreams. The only time they appear in my dreams is when I dream of this city.

As a city, Montreal could represent part of your psychological structure, a "distant", "cold" place within your psyche where emotional energies associated with the person lie "frozen" and unexpressed, waiting to be visited and explored. Something like that.

It may be an old story and seemingly irrelevant in your life, but perhaps it has affected you in ways you are not consciously aware of or that you have not acknowledged.

How do you feel about this?
