I had a dream about a stacey I used to orbit back in high school over a decade ago having a child, and when I woke up I felt sad thinking it should have been mine. Is this some dug up random feelings in the back of mind? Or is it just me jealous/depressed I'm not a dad/father? (I am jealous of people who married and had kids right after high school). It felt very out of left field
Subconscious echo most likely. It may speak to some forgotten desire but I'm not knowledgeable enough to tell you what it is.
