Was this closure?

Lately i've been receiving facebook messages from a fake account (fake as in no mutual friends, no picture, blank profile). I have no idea who it is, and I won't speculate but it did trigger a dream: he and I were at the same conference, and I was walking ahead of him. I was so afraid he would ignore or mock me but he didn't. Instead he seemed genuinely happy, tapped me on the shoulder and exchanged pleasantries. Then we hugged briefly. Suddenly I found myself naked and alone roaming the hallways. I found a towel to cover myself and called him; he answered and sounded exasperated. "BB I gave up, I don't want to do this anymore." Then he hung up before I could say anything.

Do you feel like it gave you the closure you wanted? How do you feel about the dream?

Likely repressed emotions trying to clear.
When something is a painful as this was, we sometimes store away some of the feeling and they bleed out into dreams.
I don't know if its closure - I'm not even sure what closures is - and I don't know what the dream is about - but I would guess its feelings you have been repressing.

Lonely: not totally, no. But it may be as much as I ever get.
Skip: Its the goodbye I hoped for in real life.
