Having dreams about an ex? Here’s what they mean

They can make you question your feelings while you attempt to understand why you dreamt about that person.

But do not fear, there may be other reasons as to why you’re dreaming about that guy that dumped you for your friend three years ago.

And according to analysis on dreammoods.com, they’re a little more reassuring than you’d think.

Dreaming about being visited by an ex

Dreaming about being visited by an ex can mean that you are reflecting on positive past experiences.

It doesn’t necessarily mean you miss that person though. It can also mean that you are encountering similar qualities in another person – perhaps your new partner?

Dreaming about getting back together with an ex 

This does not, and I note does not mean that you want to try again with an ex.

Dreams about getting back together may be triggered by major change in your current relationship and how far you have come from past relationships.

Dreams where you’re missing an ex 

These dreams can mean you miss this person, or perhaps certain qualities of the person. But it can also mean that you miss feeling wanted, or that you miss being in a relationship.

Dreams about seeing an old ex 

These can leave you waking up pretty bewildered. Why did I just dream about somebody I kissed once in Truth or Dare?!

These dreams actually indicate you wanting to recapture the excitement and freedom that youth has to offer. Either in a current relationship or life itself.

Dreams where your ex is giving you advice

Dreams about taking advice from your ex is actually just your subconscious telling you not to repeat the same mistakes you made with your ex. Pretty responsible, huh?

Dreams where your ex is missing you

These dreams could imply that you are missing some aspect of your previous relationship. Alternatively, it could also mean that you’ve finally moved on. And they’ve missed their chance. #overit

Dreams where your ex is sick/dies

DO NOT FEAR. This does not mean you are a terrible person. There’s actually pretty good reason behind it. Dreaming that your ex is sick or dying is actually a reflection on where you’re at with that relationship. It is actually a metaphor for how you have let go of the past and are ready to move on and fully devote yourself to new relationships.

Dreaming of nursing your ex back to health

Going down the nicer route, dreams where you are helping your ex recover through sickness means you’re probably still dealing with the break-up.

Try a bottle of wine and some Ben and Jerry’s.
