Strange Dreams, Indeed...
I went to sleep quite disturbed last night, so I suppose I should have seen this coming. You know what I'm talking about...When you're subconscious says to you,

"Hey, you're not done with this yet. You couldn't settle this in your waking life so now I have to do it here. Damn you. You're going to be tired in the morning. When are you ever going to stop thinking?"

And so it schwas that I dreamed a dream last night:

It is very hard for me to remember how most of my dreams begin, but I know what happens in the middle. (They usually get cut off before the end, if you ever needed to have that knowledge.)

I found myself having an in-depth conversation with one of my ex's over what must have been a lovely meal in a random low-lit restaurant. We don't appear mad at each other, or upset in any way, but you can tell we're not together. I view much of the beginning from a 3rd-person perspective, but in my dreams, I also move into 1st-person from moment to moment. It would be very strange outside of the dream, but feels perfectly natural while I'm in it.

The conversation continues, but I'm really not the one talking. I say something, and gesture with my left hand, which has the Onyx on it. He catches my hand, and tries to place another ring on my finger. You know the kind...Only it has some sort of iridescent purple stone - not an amethyst - in the center. Obviously, since I'm already wearing a ring on that finger, I don't understand what's going on. He didn't try to take the other one off or even ask me to do it. I'm confused, but also becoming slightly angry that someone would try to replace what I already have. Before I can take it off my finger, though, I look down, and the stone in his ring has fallen out. It looks as if the ring might break right before my eyes. I just look at him, remove his ring, place it on the table and walk away.

Anyone up for a little dream interpretation? I'm open.

EDIT: Just so we're all clear on this...He did not give me a cheap ring. The ring was much more expensive than the one I'm wearing...What I'm saying about the ring is, when I looked away for a moment and then went to remove it, the ring had begun to rapidly decay and corrode before my eyes, probably from the second I had it placed on my finger.

ADDENDUM:

Had a moment to check out some dream interpretation sites...

Rings often symbolize promises or commitments, both literally and figuratively. However, if you have dreamed about a broken ring or one that has lost its stone this symbolizes your disappointment and unhappiness in the relationship.
I'm satisfied now.
