MostRecentExGirlfriend and I were driving to some sort of wilderness park in Lake Oswego in her car (she was driving) to meet some distant members of her family, like cousins and stuff, instead of the family members I know in real life. She and I were not seeing each other, and it was the first time we’d spent together since we broke up.

As we drove up to the park at twilight, her three little cousins came running over to the car. They were two little boys about 5 and 8, and then a girl, who was 10. As soon as she opened the car door, the boys started to yell and they wanted to play with her, so she jumped out of the car and ran off with them, leaving the girl standing next to the open car door. The girl watched Ex run off with the two boys, then she turned to me. I was still getting my coat and the rest of my stuff, and she started asking lots of questions like, “Are you guys gonna get married?” (“I don’t think so, no.”) “Have you guys kissed before?” (“Uhh. . .yeah.”)

Then the dream changed, and it was late at night. Ex and I were inside a camping ‘shack’ in the park, getting sleeping bags and blankets ready to camp for the night. We were trying to decide where to sleep, and if we should sleep together or separately, and I said something like, “I think it’d be okay for us to sleep together, but we should keep talking about it; I wouldn’t want to do that if it didn’t seem like–” and her girl cousin suddenly popped her head up from a different bunk to say, “The right thing to do?” We both turned and glared at her, annoyed, because we thought we were alone, and because we were having a serious conversation.

Those are all of the specific events that I remember, but it was a pretty long dream. All of the cousins kept saying things like that throughout the dream. Not exactly inappropriate, but certainly intrusive, and we were both feeling very uncomfortable. It was driving both of us crazy.
