Why Do I Dream About My Ex - Reasons Why You Keep Dreaming Of Your Ex
Sleep is the best for most people, in part because it gives us a chance to rest and dream. But sometimes dreams can cause a lot of stress, especially if you dream about someone you'd rather not think about. The next thing you know, your ex is standing in front of you.
Even if a relationship ends for the best, we still have to grieve the person and relationship. During sleep, our brains analyze the unresolved information from the day. You can even dream about your ex-partner dying, not because you want her to, but because you're mourning the "death" of your relationship.
We may dream about a former spouse if we're unhappy with how things ended. Breakups rarely happen as planned, regardless of who wants them to. You may regret your words. You may regret your actions. They may have offended you. Before you go for your phone to message your ex for "closure," consider the following: we can reconcile with an ex without talking to them. Dreams can help us reach closure alone.
My medical experience suggests this is the least likely scenario. If someone hasn't moved on, they usually know it and talk about their ex while awake. Nightmares can also occur when a person is out of touch with their emotions and hasn't moved on from their ex.
If so, you should reflect on your lifegoals. It's important to examine why the relationship ended, what didn't work for both parties, and whether you want it. After a relationship ends, people tend to romanticize it or want to get back with someone they know.
When You Dream About Your Ex - What Does That Mean?
It's normal to dislike some aspects of a new romantic relationship. Even if the new love is great. You may miss your ex's emotional or sexual support. If so, the dream may be pointing to an unmet need so you and your current partner can discuss it.
If you dream that someone misses you, it means one of your ex-partners wants to get back together. This individual will try everything to win you back. He or she may return to your life gradually.
If your ex contacts you or tries to talk to you at unusual hours, they may still be thinking about you. Social media use is another key indication. They may like you if they didn't unfriend or block you.
If you want to decipher your REM sleep messages, keep a dream log. Write down any dream memories as you wake up. If you have nightmares about your ex, you may notice recurring motifs. Write down your dream feelings and how you responded.
It's natural to have dreams about a former partner, even if it's only once in a while for the rest of your life. This does not imply that you still adore them or that you haven't moved on from the relationship in any way, shape, or form.
Dreaming about a former partner could be an indication that you are feeling lonely, that your current relationship needs some work, or that you are going through some inner upheaval.
Dreaming about an exisn't typically cause for concern, but you may want to think about seeing a therapist if you continue to have regular, recurring dreams about them that are upsetting long after the breakup.
