Dream
I was at an apartment building resembling my childhood home, but it wasn't. I was with my abusive ex, and I wanted him out of the house. Somehow, my family and friends were in the house, too, and I told him to leave and to leave the keys to the house. He was adamant that he won't. I already have pressed charges against him for another incident. I started to cuss him out, and he cornered me and my sister. The middle sister in the family was to the right of us, and he got so mad at me and punched me in the stomach and face. But he did it lightly, not to physically hurt me but to intimidate me. In real life, my ex never physically harmed me, but he did become physical with me by trapping me in places, physically intimidating me, and physically touching me against my will. In the dream, I said to my sister you saw the right, and she said yes. I knew that after this court proceeding, I would press charges again for this incident and bring up what he did to me to the judge in the current case. I also now had my sister as a 2nd witness of his abuse against me. He never left the keys. I was scared he would return to my apartment at any point cause he had the keys to the house.
We went to court, and I think the judge ruled in my favor, but I couldn't remember much. I just remembered reminding myself to tell the judge that my ex refused to give back the pair of house keys, but somehow, I forgot.
The next thing I remembered was being back in the apartment building and trying to find ways to secure the doors so that even if he tried to open them, he wouldn't be able to come in. I put extra locks on the front and back doors and some sort of paper enforcement at the bottom of the doors, which was supposed to help also. However, I still felt afraid of being in that home.
I started to pack up my house, and his stuff was still there. I asked my friends and family to help me put all his stuff in a Uhaul. Some of these friends I don't recognize in my real life. But in the dream, it felt like I knew them, and they had my back. I remembered going to wherever he was staying to put his stuff in, which doesn't make sense cause the furniture would be in my place. Anywho, I remembered seeing him, and he was depressed and playing video games. Anywho, we started to pack his stuff in the U-Haul, and he didn't say much, or he couldn't say much. I remembered reminding myself to tell one of my friends to ask him to give me the spare keys to the house, but I forgot again.
The next thing I remembered from my dream was going to this beach-like bar with friends and having a good time. I was even hanging out with one of my co-workers.
