I still have dreams about my ex, sometimes they're good and sometimes they're bad. What does that mean?

It means your a normal person. We dream about many different things, most of which are based on our experiences. Strong experiences, especially ones with strong feelings, create memorable dreams that stay with us when we wake up. Dreaming about your ex just means that they were a part of your life at some point. It's not different than dreaming about a toy you had as a child or a sports game you were in. Even if the dreams were all good or all bad, that doesn't mean the experiences you are dreaming about are all good or all bad. In summary, I would say that these dreams just mean you are processing your feelings about your ex - the good ones and the bad ones - and you should take it as a healthy sign of emotional stability and mature dealing with your past :)

It just means, I believe, that you are still living with a hole in your life that is shaped just like your ex was, and the way you lived your life while together fulfiled you in a way that no longer exists. I also believe dreams can provide healing and restorative effects- clearly you have dreams about him because, when awake, and below the level of awareness, he is on your mind, so therefore will occur in your dreams. Also, you are trying to overcome it, and the dreams I believe are a way of your brain coming to terms with the loss that you can't control but only process internally and even unconsciously.

Romantic relationships carry a lot of powerful emotions. Our dreams are often our subconscious working through our personal traumas. It’s ok to be sad. Time heals all wounds. I’ve been through similiar experiences, and there’s no doubt it’s difficult. But as I healed through the breakup the dreams became less and less frequent. There is light at the end of the tunnel. It’s going to be ok. And if you ever need to talk about it, I’m here for you. It never feels good to keep things inside for too long, so if at any point you’d like to reach out, I would be more than happy to listen.

There is still a lot about dreams that science does not understand. One theory is that our dreams are our minds way of piecing together unresolved issues and events that happened during our waking day. You might want to ask yourself how these dreams make you feel? Writing a dream journal and comparing notes overtime might give you more clarity as well. For it can be difficult to know just from one dream. But with multiple entries you might find a pattern. Cross reference that with a food journal and a daily journal. Maybe even share your findings with a therapist.

I don't think there's one meaning that we can pinpoint this to, necessarily. However, it could point to the fact that maybe you are subconsciously thinking about your ex often. You may be worried about them. Whatever it may be, there is a high chance that you are probably thinking about them a lot, maybe even without you knowing it. I know what it feels like to dream about someone that you have loved before (and maybe still love). It is rough being reminded of that person in your sleep, where you have no control of what you dream of. But sorting through what exactly this could mean for you, and trying to figure out what exactly you might be thinking that you're unaware of, might help you actually detangle some of the inner conflicts that you may not even know you're facing.

Dreams are hard to interpret, we sometimes dream about things that never happened to us in real life and sometimes we dream about things that can never happen truely. We might dream about someone just for thinking about them before we sleep. You might still feel like the relationship isn't over yet or you are over thinking stuff. Try to dig deep into these dreams and your emotions to see what do you want to do next. If you feel like you have things you would like to say to your ex then you should, some people say it's your subconscious message for you. Yes the sayings differ but that doesn't mean we can try.

It depends on what your experience with them was. Have you moved on yet? Are you still stuck on the past and things you did with him? These all factor into how you are feeling. And don't forget, some dreams have meaning while some don't! It may be something with your brain - the best thing to do in this case is, if you can, get anything off your chest that has to do with your ex. This can be done in multiple ways like talking to them (it may be scary, i know, but who knows! It may end up helping you better understand what's going on) or even writing your thoughts and feelings (or your dreams) up on paper!

This is perfectly normal. It means that you still think about them, with is expected since you have spent time with them. It does not mean anything in particular, simply that your mind still has memories of them. Try to focus on positives to avoid bad dreams, or read a book just before you fall asleep so your mind focuses on something else! Or listen to music. As a whole, it does not mean anything, no person is all good, or all bad, and thus neither will the memories of them be. If you need to talk over how you feel, please done hesitate to contact 7 cups!

Dreaming about an ex can mean that you haven’t emotionally moved on from the relationship. I have a few reflective questions for you to answer: · What your ex represents for you? · How did they make you feel in the relationship? · What positive or negative associations do you have with this person? The people in our dreams represent either ourselves or unfulfilled wishes, repressed feelings. Dreams are symbolic. It may represent stressfully, and anxiety-ridden part of your life or symbolizes self-doubt, insecurity, uncertainty, and helplessness. At the same time, it may represent the best time you had that you are missing in the present relationship. Dreams are our way of dealing with unresolved issues. I assume because you still have many unresolved feelings, questions, or you may feel hurt, or still confused regarding your present relationship or breakup. Your subconscious mind may be still working on dealing with the breakup. Therefore, identify unresolved concerns of the past relationship, acknowledge and let them go. The dreams will eventually stop. Focus on nurturing present relationship. If you can’t do on your own, you can seek professional help. Gaining clarity on the relationship may help you to. Hope this is helpful. Rise and Shine, Apurva

First, I think that having a dream about your ex probably means that you are still thinking about them, which is completely okay. After spending so much time and energy in the relationship, it makes complete sense that you are having dreams about them. As for why you are having both good and bad dreams, I think it is because at times your relationship was good, and at times it was bad (typically, these bad moments are why a relationship doesn't work out). I think your brain may still be processing that your relationship has ended, and is going over the pleasant and unpleasant times, which is why you may be experiencing good and bad dreams about your ex. I'm no expert, but I did go through a breakup myself and, like you, had good and bad dreams about my ex. This is just how I processed what was happening.
