It is very likely that it has ever happened to you; wake up remembering that dream you had… with your ex. Regardless of the way the relationship ended, this type of dream arouses a lot of intrigue and curiosity. Why did I dream of him? What meaning can the dream have? These are some of the questions that you have probably asked yourself. Below we will tell you the possible interpretations that dreaming with your ex can have. Do not miss it!
Dreams reveal our unconscious worries and/or emotions
Dreams occur at night. It is then when our mind, far from resting, puts in order the information it has stored throughout the day. This level of activity raises mental images, connected to our unconscious. And that’s when dreams happen.
The world of dreams arouses great curiosity, and it is not for less. Science has spent years studying the relationship that what we dream of has with our personality, and has shown that, obviously, the relationship is close. These studies allow us to affirm that, on many occasions, what we dream of maintains a true correlation with our way of being and feeling.
On many occasions, our dreams have a relationship with those activities that we have carried out in our day. On other occasions, we dream about subjects and/or people that apparently have nothing to do with our lives. However, the truth is that the dream has occurred around a real basis. Let’s see what it means to dream with the ex-partner.
I have dreamed of my ex! What does it mean?
Do not panic. Far from being scared, you should remain calm: dreaming of an ex partner does not have to be associated with having feelings of love for that person. There are many aspects that intervene in the meaning of a dream of these characteristics. Among them, the moment she is going through the breakup, your feelings towards her and the aspects in common that you have even after the relationship has ended.
I dreamed that I got along with my ex
This dream may correspond to reality… or not. If it matches, congratulations! Your dream has been a reflection of the good relationship you maintain. If, on the contrary, you don’t get along in real life, it may show the need to improve your relationship, especially if there are common elements that you share. It supposes the need to establish points of union to be able to save other aspects of your life ( children, mutual friends, shared goods) in the best possible way.
The dream may have occurred when you already have a new partner. In this case, it just shows that there are qualities of your ex that you still like (which does not mean that there is still love) and that you want to rescue for your current relationship. Dreaming of an ex having another partner is not a reason for infidelity. No one chooses his dreams.
I dreamed that my ex was rebuilding his life
These types of dreams are interpreted much better if we pay attention to how we have felt while the story was going on. Have we felt good? If so, our grieving process is taking place in a positive way. On the contrary, if we did not like it, our insecurity problems have come to the fore. Also our desire to feel like protagonists at all times, as well as our low tolerance for loss.
I dreamed that my ex asked me for another chance
In that case, we will have to analyze what happened next. Have you given it to him? If so, perhaps your subconscious was waiting for that moment so that they could get back together. If you have rejected it, it is that, really, it does not satisfy you as a couple.
Beyond loving interpretations, other readings can be taken. Wanting to go back to a previous point in our life implies some difficulty in being able to face new situations. Insecurity can also be present as the main meaning of the dream.
I dreamed that it was me who asked for another chance
In this case, perhaps it shows the will to want to carry out a rapprochement of postures, which allows you to smooth over the hardness and get along better. Or even re-establish your relationship.
It also implies a need to take control of your life and that of others. A possessive aspect that offers confidence and courage in your movements.
On many occasions, dreaming of an ex offers us information about our feelings towards that person. Other times, these dreams tell us about our ability to forgive, to face changes and restructuring, and even our insecurities. The way in which our grief is found after the breakup can also influence what we dream about. It is very important to know exactly all the details of the dream that we have had with our ex-partner, in order to establish an individual meaning adapted to our way of thinking, feeling and living.
