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

I find you never stop caring about an ex even after a long time, weather you had good or bad times at the end of the day you must have cared about that person to be together in the first place

Dreams are very tricky because one dream can mean lots of different things depending on the person that's dreaming it. But it sounds to me that might still be holding to feelings for your ex. The good may symbolize the fact that you want him in your life because you remember the good that you two shared, but the bad dreams may be there to serve as a warning as a reminder as to why you guys broke in the first place and it may be a sign that you should continue to move forward and not attempt to reconcile..

Dreaming about someone who has been important to us is perfectly normal. You may have unresolved feelings towards this person which only you can say, but rest assured that it is not an unusual occurrence.

It means that you obviously still have some attachment to them, which is completely understandable! It takes a while to get over someone you've been intimate (not just sexually) with. AKA Best friend/partner. Subconsciously, whether you realize it or not you may think about them and how their life is. They also could be memories just rehashing themselves in your dreams, trying to analyse them!

If you constantly have dreams about your ex that could be good or bad, seems like you miss the thought of them. Maybe not the relationship itself, but it just means you aren’t over them entirely like you thought you were

The mind still thinks it wants your ex to be the one. dreams are just the mind's ways of replaying old memories and trying to keep yourself occupied during sleep.

Well when I was going through my break up and I still dreamt about my ex I felt it was perhaps that there were unresolved issues or feelings there. Sometimes it was just that I was simply thinking about my ex. What do you think the dreams mean?

Well dreams don't always mean something. So don't overthink them too much. Mostly dreams are just a reflection of what our subconscious mind sees and hears on the previous days. I would suggest you have a session of introspection to see if you still have feelings for your ex. Don't base your feelings on the dreams you have.

I think dreams about your ex mean that you still have an emotional connection to them and that you still have an relationship to them, be it purely one of worry or even still lingering romantic feelings.

It means they played a prominent part of your life. I've had dreams of my exes, my primary school teachers, a random person I saw on the bus once... sometimes you've just got to chalk it up to the brain doing its thing. But think about why you're concerned about it, maybe you've been thinking about your ex a lot? What are your feelings towards your ex? I think those questions might turn out being more important.
