Regret

Regrets, Feeling regret, Missed chance

Regret looks back at roads not taken, and dreams love to replay them. You might find yourself at the moment before a choice, or living the version of life you turned down. Missing the other road is normal, even when you chose well. Often it surfaces when a similar decision is coming up, giving you a second look at what you value now. Waking up relieved that it was only a dream says you're more at peace with your path than you thought.

Dream variations

• Living the life you didn't chooseYou're curious, not necessarily sorry. Borrow one thing you liked from that other life and add it to this one.
