Why do I Keep Dreaming About My Ex?

Blog Post by TellMeMyDream.com

Dreaming of an ex means that he or she has qualities or traits you want in a relationship. As such, dreaming of your ex is simply your mind to cope with your feelings of deprivation stemming from a failed relationship. In general, the lack of fulfillment in your relationship with your ex that appears in your dreams may represent an unfulfilled purpose in your financial life, your social life or other areas in which you have not flourished for some time.

That being said, the dream of an ex could be an indicator of how you and that person feel. If you feel rejected or loved in your current relationship, such as when your ex appears in a dream, it could tell you to revive a lost connection or bond between the two of you. If you dream of your ex, you may want to continue the relationship for as long as possible, or you may want certain memories of your ex that have not been created.

If your love affair ended long ago and your ex continues to show up in your dreams, if you think about re-entering a relationship, this speaks to your loneliness. If you dream that your ex has kidnapped you, it could mean that you feel that there is no closure for you. A dream that shows your ex dead is a metaphor for how you buried your feelings for your past love.

A dream your ex misses could mean you think he has missed his chance with you. A dream he misses means you are happy with your current relationship or that you crave attention from men in general. Make sure that in your mind there is no doubt that you or someone you split up years ago are still dreaming of him and that it is time to contact your ex, even if you do not want to be with him.

You don't have to embarrass yourself by contacting him in your dreams. The biggest mistake is that dreaming of your ex means that you want him back in your life, so your subconscious mind keeps visualizing him. If you dream of a person who is tough, your partner might ask you why you seem busy.

If you continue to dream about your ex or partner it could mean that your current relationship is not going well or that you miss out on the happy, carefree timeline of your life you shared with your ex. But just because your ex appears in a dream, doesnat necessarily means that you are in it. Almost all of us have at least one ex who plays a recurring role, says Kelly Sullivan Walden, a dream expert and the author of: A Dream Dictionary of Love, Sex and Relationships.

Whether you are single or in a relationship, our ex and partners are popping up in our dreams. Dreams about exes can trigger a flood of emotions, both good and bad, and we can recall something that has passed. But it is important not to jump to conclusions when dreaming of an ex.

When you end a relationship, don't think that dreaming of an old love will cause countless emotions due to previous heartbreak. When we dream of an ex, we may not feel at ease with the end of things. If you dream of your ex for a long time, this may indicate a yearning for the past.

A dream is a metaphor for letting go of the past and being ready to move on and start a new relationship. Dreaming of someone you love is one way to transfer the lessons you learned from a previous relationship into a new one. Too much time has passed to dream of first love.

If you continue to dream of your first love, you could take it as a sign that you lack feelings of excitement, passion and longing. Conserving dreams of an ex means that the head and heart must attempt to process the emotional trauma of loss, shock, disappointment and betrayal inflicted by the self-inflicted ex. Your dreams are not about the betrayal you associate with your ex, but about the ability to move on and find closeness to your past.

This dream could indicate that there may be unresolved issues between you and your ex. It could indicate that you have let go of the past and are ready to move on. This dream could also be symbolic of the longing for the lost love you missed in your relationship.

On the other hand, it could also mean that you remember the good old days of your relationship. In this dream you meet your ex-boyfriend, your girlfriend, your ex-husband or your ex-wife. This dream may indicate fears about your new relationship or the general feeling of not wanting to return to a similar relationship, so it could mean you miss out on time in that relationship.

The dream of reuniting with your ex is not just an indication that the relationship was a time in your life when you reconnected. It is also a sign that one is ready to dedicate oneself to something new, something one is ready and willing to fall in love with. A dream where your ex is missing means that there is a deficiency in your current relationship that you want to reunite.

Knowing that you have done nothing wrong by dreaming of your ex does not mean that you are dissatisfied with your current relationship. When you dream of someone, Loewenberg says, it's more about how much you love yourself than how you handle the relationship.
