You know, I can't exactly tell you just because I don't know the situation you were in with them. what I can say is that our brains are very complex and special organs, when are brains bring something up it might be because we have not found closure with that person. Or you just really want to talk to them and you miss them. Usually, your ex is someone you had a significant relationship with so it is completely fair to have those dreams about them. It might just be your body's way of saying you still aren't over them yet etc. Hope this helps!

This means that you are subconsciously thinking about him and this is normal. Whenever someone is coming and going through your mind this type of thing happens. It is your way of remembering the past. It is not bad. Try to think of this as a healthy way of your minds healing process of moving on from the past. I have had dreams like this and it can help give closure to any kind of relationship good and bad. Good Luck on getting to work this out in this sort of way. I still have dreams now and then of my ex who I lost contact with. I lost my daughter and he was her dad and he was deported. Then I lost all contact with him because I became ill. I still have these dreams.

Could you tell me more about this dream? The answer to this most likely lies within you. Dreams can be ways that our subconscious mind attempts to communicate to us. The answer to this interpretation lies within you as its meaning is unique to your experience. Take some time to meditate on the idea if you choose to to understand its meaning. It may bring you to some wonderful and bad memories but I believe in time you may find the answer to it. We are here to help listen and guide you though these thoughts. We are not here to tell you.

At night, your body is at rest but your brain is very active. While we don't entirely understand why we dream or even how the brain works, we know that, at night, our brains spend time processing and organizing information that you take in throughout the day. When it comes to dreaming about your ex, it's probably because some part of your brain is still thinking about them. Maybe you didn't have closure at the end of the relationship. Or maybe you have small events throughout the day that trigger memories, good and bad. Smells, tastes, sounds, events, significant dates, even passing by a person who vaguely resembles your ex can jog your memory. Some of those triggers may be connected to good memories, some bad. A lot of times, we feel pressured to "get over" exes and stop talking about them, holding on to memories or things, and stop even thinking about them. At night, however, your brain has free reign to think about and remember whatever it wants. That could be why you are still dreaming about your ex.

More likely than not, it means it's something that you're thinking about a lot. A lot of times after a relationship ends you can think up a bunch of different scenarios regarding your ex. But in the end, it's what happens while you're awake that's important - to keep a level head and think through actual events that have happened. If you really want to, you can keep a dream journal of all your dreams, but otherwise enjoy the fact that your brain is getting good relaxing sleep. If it bothers you, you can try reading a book before bed to get your mind off of your ex and think about other things.

It means that you are still thinking of your ex. Even if you aren't doing it consciously, your subconscious mind still fixates on what you and your ex had. Usually, dreams are compiled of things we think about, our emotions we feel. Since you are having good AND bad dreams about your ex, it only means you mind is acting out your emotions. How your ex made you feel. How you feel about your ex. All of the good stuff. Probably, you need to dig deeper into yourself and figure out why you still think about your ex so much to the point where you are dreaming of them.

I once had a breakup and would have multiple nightmares of her in a single night. Other nights I had good dreams of her. It’s your brain’s way of compensating for their lack of presence and what you both had. Sometimes they are bad because you are feeling sad, angry and hurt. Other times you may have had a breakup, but in a healthier way and you have hope you may get back together or you still love them and you have good dreams. It’s important to not allow these dreams to convince you anything about the situation, person or affect any decisions thereof.

It would appear there are unresolved feelings towards the person. Mixed emotions. Acknowledge them in waking life as this might help your subconscious when you are sleeping. They have said the last thing we think about is what we dream about. I would encourage people to take an hour before work to read or take some time for more calming activities before bed to try and clear the mind of their worries and concerns to ensure the best night sleep if possible. Journaling is also a good tool to think about your victories for the day and once you have identified those you can think about them and fall asleep thinking of the great things that happened to you that day!

I think that it can mean multiple things. Sometimes it can mean that maybe you're thinking about them and you can't get them out of your head. But sometimes i think that dreams are just dreams and that's it. Dreams are your subconscious and you can't control them but maybe it means that you miss them a little? I think it depends on how you feel about them and the best way to find out is to reflect on yourself and your own feelings. I think that it is the best way for us to learn about why you're experiencing certain types of feelings.

It’s normal to have them. It can be signs that you miss your ex or it can be somewhere in your unconscious mind. It may happen that there are some issues left to be discussed and it may be nothing. It’s not about anything good or bad until it is bothering you too much or causing a lot of distress. Many times it’s just about cherishing your past. You can’t deny the fact that your ex was a part of your life just accept that fact and it’s fine to have it. Don’t take it too much , you may talk to your ex if possible and if not go and talk about it to your friends who care find new things .
