In my dream I see the unearthed body of my exgirlfriend, and I suddenly remeber that I killed her years ago. In the dream I have no memory of actually killing her just the feelings of guilt and the realization that I killed somebody and that I am going to somehow pay dearly for my crime in this life or the afterlife. I do not have this dream often perhaps once a year, but everytime I do it really freaks me out. Background: the girl in my dream was my girlfriend in college(10 years ago), she broke up with me (something that I thought would never happen)and I really took it hard. We dated about 2 years and were on again off again for about 2 more. I am engaged to a girl that I love and have dated for several years.
I have my own ideas about this dreams meaning, but I don't want to influence anyones opinion. Please let me know what you think.
Thanks.

Questions to ask yourself: How did you feel in the dream? How did it feel to see the unearthed body of your ex-girlfriend? How did it feel to know you were going to pay dearly in the afterlife?
Observations: Often our dreams represent things in our life- so maybe you killing your ex represents the idea that you thought you've moved on- but the unearthing shows that somehow it's come up again and you are dealing with it. Around the times of the year that you have this dream- is anything special? What date is it? Is anything connected to the date connected to her?
You have guilt, does that mean you still wish "she was alive" or that part of you wishes you were still dating her? You felt you committed a crime? Do you feel it's your fault you broke up- and wish you were still together?
Now you are engaged to what sounds like a cool girl. My only recommendation would be to take some time to mourn this ex- and then put her in the ground again. good luck.

Hmmmm. Could the hurt and resentment you felt then still be stirring around inside you? Maybe it isn't her dead body that is resurfacing, but the feelings you had for her, both good and bad. Could it be the guilt you felt for wishing her harm and a bad life? That is normal in a breakup. First the hurt and then the desire for the person to drop off the face of the earth. All part of the grieving process, anger.
I wonder if maybe there wasn't just a little bit of relief that she broke up with you. Perhaps subconciously you knew she wasn't right for you.
Or, on a really weird note, perhaps in a previous life you killed someone and carried the guilt into this life.

Sounds like you were the one to break things off. Maybe you feel guilty because you think she would be better off with you but you didn't love her enough. Don't feel guilty. We love who we love. Reoccurring dreams are important but don't let anyone else tell you what your dreams mean because You are the Dreamer!

i'm no specialist yet i imagine because you care a lot on your tooth your basically dreaming about your fears (your fearful of dropping your tooth). if you're a believer of aims telling the destiny, possibly you'll lose alot of tooth.
