Melinda French Gates has shared a deeply personal revelation about the dream that helped her realise she needed to separate from Bill Gates after 27 years of marriage . In a recent interview, the philanthropist described how the dream provided her with clarity and courage to make the difficult decision.
The dream that changed everything: Melinda French GatesMelinda French Gates explained that she has always had a rich dream life, with some dreams taking years to fully understand. However, one particular dream stood out. She described being on a cliff alongside her ex-husband Bill Gates and their children. Suddenly, her section of the cliff crumbled away, causing her to fall into a pit, while Bill and the children remained safely on the edge.
“When I woke up, I knew—this means I need to separate and do something else,” she said. The dream symbolised her need for independence and self-discovery, reinforcing her decision to move forward on her own.
A painful but necessary decisionFrench Gates officially filed for divorce in 2021, calling the process “unbelievably painful.” She acknowledged that she had to figure things out alone, but ultimately felt the separation was necessary for her personal growth .
Bill Gates has since expressed regret over the divorce, calling it “the mistake I most regret” in a recent interview. However, French Gates has made it clear that she is happy with her new life, focusing on her philanthropic work and personal well-being.
