I can’t believe I had a good dream about someone who traumatized me

The person I’ve been having nightmares about for years appeared in my dreams again, but for some reason, I dreamed we were just visiting and enjoying each other’s company. Usually just them being there in my dreams is enough to have me waking up scared, but not this time. What’s even weirder is I woke up with my heart racing and feeling anxious. I’ve had some confusing dreams before, but never with a subject that gives me recurring nightmares.

I made an entry of it in my dream journal so I can at least keep track of the last time it happened should it happen again.
