In your dream you are trying to hide from your ex and his girlfriend. I can certainly understand this action, because such meetings can be very awkward, but it doesn't go like that at all. With that and the tone of the second dream, I think I know what's going on here.

When he moved away, I suspect that this broke off most, if not all, communication. But you had spent eight years with him, and still feel close to his family. This must have felt as if you lost a brother, as well as a boyfriend.

When you heard that he was going to be a dad, this put thoughts of family into your mind. Even though you don't feel ready to be a mom, you might be ready to be an aunt. You don't want to sabotage your ex-boyfriends new life - but you would still like to be a part of it. Just not the same part you played before.

Your recurring dreams seem to be saying that you feel that this is possible. In fact, it may be inevitable. They are sure to bring the new baby to meet family, and given that you are close to the family, you're likely to be included in this reunion. I think you can manage this without it being awkward, and without the past coming back to life for you.

As human beings, we not only need to love, but we need to receive love in return. So when we admire someone, it becomes our heart's fondest wish that the feelings would be reciprocated. So we tend to get dreams like this, especially about celebrities who are considered out of reach. This kind of dream is called "wish-fulfillment."

The dream can still tell us things, but they will be things about yourself. This person represents things that you desire in your own life. The same qualities that you admire in him, you would like to also claim for your own. Straightforwardness, honesty, fidelity, success, power - all are possibilities. Whatever qualities that make you admire him are qualities that you would like to possess.

In a dream, flying is generally regarded as the ultimate freedom, but I personally find that this only applies to unaided flight. Riding in an airplane, while it makes us feel above it all, is conceptually no different from riding in a bus. That is to say, you are going somewhere, but someone else is in charge, and you are trapped until you get there.

The airplane can and often does represent a company, because they tend to go together in our minds - "corporate jet".

The little black bugs sucking your blood sound like parasites - creatures which feed from a host but provide nothing in return. Considering how bad things have been for you lately, I wouldn't be a bit surprised if these bugs represented bill collectors. That's not the only possibility, but I think you would know if there were other kinds of people leeching off you.

So, if I can put this dream together from what you've told me of your life, I'd say that it means something like this: You're finally getting somewhere, and you'd like to enjoy the ride. But you're being "bugged" by people who want something from you (probably money), and they won't leave you alone.

I'm afraid that I haven't any expert advice on how to deal with that problem, but I'm sure that plenty of people at allexperts do. I think that, if you can get the people to just leave you alone while you continue to sort out your life, then you shouldn't have this dream again.
