<human>: Provide a brief overview of the text.

We dated for about nine months and broke up when I left for a semester abroad. It's been fifteen months since the break, and I haven't seen her since, but I still have dreams about her 2-3 times per month. This is especially disconcerting because I don't typically remember *any* of my dreams other than the ones she's in. I have not told anybody this, because it seems that it would come off as weird and creepy.

Of these dreams, two-thirds of them typically consist of me standing indefinitely in an indistinct room with her standing at the other side, looking at/through me, and I am incapable of communicating with her in any way.

In spite of the fact that she was the one who decided she didn't want to see/talk to me ever again, she recently initiated a very brief (4-message) text message conversation in which she notified me that A)she missed me and B)she never really appreciated me. At this point I don't know if it's better for me to try to continue not talking to her just because I dread regressing into the emotional entanglement or if I should swallow my pride and try to engage her in conversation.

Everyone grows up looking for the girl or boy "of their dreams," but for me the literal interpretation falls short. I feel like my subconscious is mocking me and I can't make it stop. Any advice?
<bot>: I still consistently have dreams about an ex-girlfriend I haven't talked to in 15 months, and she recently sent me a text saying she missed me. Advice?
