I have had recurring dreams of one of my ex's one who I didn't even go out with for a long time (4 months) for about a 2 years. Most of the time it was about us getting back together or just being together something like that. Last night or day technically since I work nights, I had an extemely VIVID dream to the point of when I woke up I was wondering where the hell I was. I haven't even thought about her since whenever I had my last dream about her about 2 months ago. I am getting married in a month with a girl who I have been with for 4 years but during that 4 years we had some problems around 2 years and broke up we each saw other people, mine being the ex I dream about. I ended up having severe depression during the relationship and was very needy and my ex wasn't able to handle that. We broke up on alright terms, I haven't talked to her since though since she lives about an hour away. My original girlfriend and I got back together and things have been pretty good not perfect but good. The thing that really scares me of is just the pure spike of emotion I had when I woke up. I'd maybe explain it as a combination of longing, happiness, sadness (when I wake up) and I am just reliving the emotions all over again as I'm thinking about this dream right now. I just feel so confused that is why I'm even making a thread about it in first place maybe I just need to get it off my chest I don't know but if anyone could shed some light on this for me or offer advice I'd really appreciate it.
I think that dreaming of exes is a way to process the old memories/feelings we have about them. I still dream of my exes, but I don't take it as if I'm suppose to be with them or have any specific feelings about them. I read the dream along with the symbols, and more times than not I'm dreaming of past issues along with past friends/exes.
my gf broke up with me about a week and a half ago, and i haven't gotten sufficient sleep thanks to dreams since. every night i wake up at about 3 or 4 a.m. from a dream(i consider nightmares) about my ex hooking up with other guys. every single night i am with her for some reason but she is hooking up with somebody else. i dont know what to make of it
I find that if I dream of an ex that I will soon meet someone who had the same type of traits, beliefs, and personality. If I dream of the ex-wife, then I know that I'll soon meet a woman who is marriage material, if I dream of an certain ex-lover then I know that I will soon meet a great passionate lover, etc.
