Do note though that when the dreams come, you do not dream of "him" but rather you allow an aspect of you to surface. This aspect is a part of your personality that wants to deliver a message for you to contemplate in your waking time.
These words are so accurate. I believe if it's gone, let not that past cast it's shadow on you again. Let go of the past if it hasn't been productive, positive at all. Let go of all negativities.
