Meaning in the Dream?

I had a dream about a week ago. most times i forget them before I can even be totally awake, but this one stuck. Here’s what it kinda looked like.

I’m lounging on my love seat which for some reason is in a loft/room in my grandparents house. The light is really soft, it gives everything in the room a yellowish tint. Her face is beautiful, just like in reality, and she is wearing shorts and a T shirt, looking like she is about ready to turn in for the night. We share the small couch, but don’t get too close to each other some how. As we get into that state half-way between sleep and awake, our boides almost touch while we try and stay comfortable…her hand reached out for mine, she’s unsure how I will react, so she does so very slowly. I feel her hands touch mine, and I embrace them with a feeling that is like relief to me. We sit holding each others’ hands for a long time. I ask her if she would like me to move to the floor so that she might have more room, but she tells me she likes to share the small space. She becomes more comfortable, she puts her arms aroound me…she nuzzles her nose into my neck as she rests her head on my shoulder, I feel her warmth so close to me, I am very happy to be next to her…we both fall asleep.

In the night we move around in our sleep. I have my arm around her, and then I move it down to my other, and rest it on her stomach…something has gone wrong. Nothing is really wrong, it is more like something is not quite right as it had been a moment before. The space we share seems to be cramped all of the sudden. I get up, go to the bathroom to discover that the water in the sink has been running since the last person that had had it on left it. It’s no big deal, I go back to the bed after shutting it off.

When I get there, she is up. She’s tidying up apround the couch, and that is when I see something that takes me aback. On her left shoulder, more like her upper left chest near the shoulder region is a larger scar. It’s huge, it is red at the top and looks infected, near the base of the swelling is a bluish color…it looks very painful. In the middle of telling her about the water running in the bathroom, I lose a grip on what I am saying, I can’t take my eyes off of her scar. My knees start to shake, tears start to swell up in my eyes, and I feel like my heart is breaking (a real feeling that wake up with in reality). I feel horrible because I can’t say anyting to her about the scar…I can’t say anything because she either doesn’t know it’s there and she is hurting, or she is pretending that it doesn’t even exist…

I wake up, I feel like crying, I actually think and feel as if I am on the brink of tears. Most dreams come and go…this one was very very real, and unlike other dreams, I remember almost all of it.

What does all of this mean?
