The fact that you have been talking on and off for five years suggests that there may be unresolved feelings or issues between the two of you. The setting of the dream, at a stylist’s house, may symbolize the idea of transformation and change. Perhaps you are both in a transitional phase in your relationship, and the dream is reflecting your anxieties about where it may lead. The presence of the stylist and her children may represent the idea of family and commitment, which may be important factors in your relationship. The pictures of you, both younger and older, may symbolize the different stages of your life and how this person has been a constant presence throughout. The water damage on the cards and drawings may suggest that there have been challenges and difficulties in your relationship, but the fact that he has spoken to your family and apologized may indicate a desire for reconciliation and a deeper connection. The dream may be urging you to confront your feelings and communicate openly with this person in order to move forward in your relationship.
