It was his father who handpicked me for him. He told me I was a lovely young woman and that I would make a good match for his son. I was single and open to meeting someone so I indulged him.

When Kofi finally got in touch with me, he didn’t need a lengthy introduction. I had already heard so much about him from his father. And the things I heard were good. Talking to him felt good too.

We were like old friends who had reconnected even though we were practically strangers getting to know each other. The flow of our conversations was seamless. “When your dad spoke to me about you, he said you were single. I know most people don’t like to tell their parents about their relationships until they’re sure it’s serious. So tell me, are you truly single?” He said he was single.

“Single and searching? Or single but not available?” I asked again. I wanted to be sure his father was not forcing me on him. He answered again that he was open to meeting someone new. I didn’t let it show but I was relieved to hear that response.

If we didn’t speak on the phone in the morning, we would text and talk throughout the day until nighttime when we would spend long hours on the phone discussing how we spent our day. The connection was great. And his father liked me. So what could go wrong?

Well, it all fell apart when I dreamt about him one night. In the dream, we were in a room together with his father. The man was saying nice things about me and it made Kofi so happy to hear them. All of a sudden a lady entered the room. I didn’t know her but somehow I knew she was Kofi’s ex-girlfriend.

Unprovoked, this lady started apologizing. Kofi then held her hands and joined her to apologize to his father on her behalf. When I saw what was going on, I started crying and singing. The next thing I knew I was running and Kofi’s father was running after me. And then I woke up. Usually, dreams don’t make sense but this one was just so bizarre and confusing.

After that dream, things changed between Kofi and me. The very day I had the dream, I called him but his energy was off. I asked repeatedly if he was okay and he said yes over and over again. The next day I didn’t call him. He also didn’t call me. No texts either.

It’s been almost three weeks now since we last spoke. I told his father about the silence. All he could say was, “Right now I am very busy looking for accommodation but don’t worry. I am praying for you and Kofi. Things will be fine.” What does that even mean?

At this point, I know Kofi has lost interest but I still have questions. How is it possible that we were fine but the moment I had the dream, things changed? Is there any spiritual meaning to this that I am not grasping? I am wondering if anyone here who understands dreams can tell me what it all means.
