The meaning of dreaming about your ex may vary according to the type of dream you have about him or her, it may even imply that you are feeling bad, sad or insecure about your relationship in the moment when you have those dreams. Likewise, it can also mean that something does not fit you with respect to your ex, something that is damaging the relationship.
But when dreaming about your ex, you can experience different emotions, they can be disturbing, stressful, and they can even become nightmares; but they can also be very beautiful, satisfying and joyful dreams, hence its meaning may vary. For these reasons there is no general interpretation of dreaming about your former partner, boyfriend or husband because the meaning will depend on the context of the dream, existing some reasons more frequent because of what they happen, like the ones we will break down next:
There were issues pending at the end of the relationship: These issues can be of an economic, family or intimate nature, and they remain unresolved or said, so it is very possible that you have dreams where there are discussions, fights, conflicts; or they can be erotic dreams, which may imply that there is still interest or love for that person.
The separation has not been overcome: Generally when the separation has not been overcome, dreaming about your ex can be frequent due to the accumulation of emotions and feelings that you still have inside, so only you have the solution.
You have a new partner: One of the most common reasons to dream about your ex is when you have a new relationship because the subconscious reveals a guilty feeling, above all when the other person says he / she has said that he / she still loves you, usually presenting comparisons between the former and the new partner.
You live thinking about the past: If you spend your time thinking about the past, it’s normal to dream about your ex since you can evoke situations from your previous life and often call nostalgia and melancholy.
Now, after knowing some of the most frequent reasons to dream about an ex, we will deepen in relation to what each dream means:
Dreaming that your ex visits you: It means that you are raising awareness about everything related to the previous relationship, about the good and bad times, the causes of the break, etc., even if you already love another person. On the other hand, it could mean that your current partner shows a personality similar to your former partner.
Dreaming about new outings with your ex: This does not necessarily mean that you are going to return with the former partner, but that changes are coming to your life in the field of love or friendship.
Dreaming that you miss your ex: This dream does not imply that you miss him / her, or the life with him / her, or his / her presence in your home, but that you miss the situation as a couple because you are feeling alone and you need a person by your side. It can also mean that you miss some details of that person, without meaning that you want to return with him / her.
Dreaming that your ex advises you: This dream can mean that you should make a deep reflection of the possible mistakes of the past, both those committed by your ex and those committed by you. So it is a sign that you should reconsider some important details of your life as a couple.
Dreaming that you have a relationship with your ex: It means the acceptance of some aspects or characteristics of the personality of your ex-partner; however, this does not mean that you want to return with him / her or even want him / her.
Dreaming that your ex misses you: By dreaming that an ex misses you, you are clearly at a time in your life when you have overcome the separation and you may be open to starting a new stage with another person.
Dreaming about your ex’s illness or death: Do not worry because this does not mean that he / she is going to die or get sick, but that it is time to close the cycle and accept the separation once and for all; you are already prepared for it.
Dreaming that you kiss your ex: A kiss from your ex can mean two things: first, that you want to return with him / her, but if you already have a new partner, it could mean that you are missing some aspects of your previous relationship, which are not necessarily referred to your ex, but to events or situations of the relationship such as the family, the places you frequented, and so on.
Dreaming that your ex already has a partner: This clearly means that you’re jealous and you’re still interested in your former partner, that you hope to return with him / her; but you must reflect on this and measure the consequences.
Dreaming about someone with whom you had a short relationship: This dream could be indicating that you live new experiences, that you feel free, with a desire to live moments and fall in love. You must be attentive to the signals that the universe sends you.
