arrepentimiento

Regret in a dream is the dream's image of backward-looking honesty about a fork already taken. Regret is not the same as guilt; guilt is about what was wrong, regret is about what would have been better. The dream brings regret when something in your life has reached the stage of being clearly seen as a choice that should have gone the other way — and the choice is no longer available to remake. Regret faced with steadiness is the dream telling you the lesson is being absorbed for the next fork. Regret converted into self-attack or into denial is the dream noting that the honest read is being avoided, and the same fork will be presented again in a new form.
