An ex is an ex for a reason, but just because someone is an ex, it doesn’t mean we still don’t think about them from time to time.
In fact, often our thoughts can manifest themselves in our dreams, and we end up dreaming about our exes.
So, what does it actually mean when you dream about an ex?
Well, there could be several meanings, depending on the nature of the dream.
It doesn’t necessarily mean that you want to get back together with this person.
Obviously, you are going to wonder why you are dreaming about a person who is no longer a part of your life.
In fact, it can even happen when you are happy in a new relationship.
Today we are going to take a look at some of the various spiritual reasons why you may be dreaming about your ex.
Let’s get started.
What Are The Spiritual Meanings Of Dreaming About An Ex?
It isn’t uncommon for one to dream about their ex, and contrary to popular belief, it doesn’t always necessarily mean that you want that person back in your life.
In fact, there could be several spiritual meanings of dreaming about your ex.
Let’s take a look at nine reasons why you may be dreaming about your ex.
There are Unresolved Feelings
It could be that you have some unresolved feelings about your ex.
Now, before you jump up and say that you are no longer interested in this person, remember that these unresolved feelings may not have anything to do with romantic feelings.
There is a great possibility that you never received any type of closure when the relationship ended.
You may have a lot of feelings about that, and you aren’t happy about how things ended between the two of you.
Maybe this person decided to break it off, which came as a complete shock to you.
In this case, you are still grappling with those feelings, and you need to have closure so you can move on to a better relationship.
You’re Worried about Success in New Relationships
If you have just started a new relationship with someone else, you may be dwelling on things that happened in past relationships.
You want to make sure that things actually work out this time, and you think about the things that went wrong and right in your past relationships.
These are likely things that you think about when you are awake, as well as in your dreams.
After all, there are a lot of things you need to sort out, and this can take over your dreams as well as your waking thoughts.
This really is nothing to worry about.
If you are about to enter into a new relationship, it is likely just your subconscious trying to reassure you that the new relationship can be much better than the last one.
There are Bigger Problems at Play
We all know that in most cases, dreams are less literal than they are symbolic.
In most cases, when we dream about something, the reality is just the opposite.
It could be that you are thinking about why your last relationship ended, and how you could have done things differently, particularly if it was your fault.
Even if it wasn’t your fault, you may still be trying to sort out what happened in order to keep it from happening in future relationships.
Once you are able to sort out your feelings, learn from the mistakes made in the past, and work at not repeating them, it is likely that you will stop having these particular dreams.
You are Not Over Your Ex
While it is likely that there are many other reasons why you may be having these dreams, there is still the possibility that you aren’t completely over your ex.
It may be that you still have feelings for this person.
If this is the case, it is time for you to do some serious soul searching.
This is not something that you should just put off and hope the feelings go away.
You will need to figure out why you still have feelings for your ex, and to do this, you will need to be completely honest with yourself.
Once you are able to deal with those unresolved feelings, it will be much easier for you to move on to a new relationship.
You are Actually Dreaming about Yourself, Not Your Ex
It could be that when you are dreaming about your ex, that you are actually dreaming about yourself.
Maybe you feel that in past relationships, you have given too much of yourself and have given up many of the things you love.
It could also mean that you have been neglecting your own needs.
Maybe you haven’t been completely honest with yourself about why the relationship ended (perhaps feeling like everything that went wrong was your fault), and you have some unresolved issues about that.
It might be a good time to really analyze yourself and how you behaved in your past relationship.
That way, you will be able to see if there is anything you could have done differently, and then make sure that you do things right in your next relationship.
