anyone else ever had dreams of their ex?

[sammiechzxv]

Often

 

[J&L383]

Yes, monthly at least, sometimes casual, sometimes very intimate and meaningful. Sometimes even more "real" than what real is. (Those are the hardest ones to wake up from) But she moved on and got remarried and I didn't so that might explain one reason why. I wonder if she dreams about me? (Perhaps, but don't hold my breath).

NO, NEVER EVER if it is my ex.

Now some of the other fine ladies, YES!!!

Right after a breakup they would occur often. Thankfully I have found them going away eventually.

Its natural and normal. Don't worry , the dreams about your ex will stop. They always do eventually.

Not always. I still dream occasionally - perhaps once every couple of years - about someone I knew over 50 years ago. (I doubt that he dreams of me.) They are usually powerful dreams when they happen.

Human psychology and the human brain are such a complex things .Well , you never know....perhaps he does.

Dreams can project your desires, it happens. Have experienced something similar.

I think it might depend on if you find someone else

For me, I still dream of her. Not as much as when we first broke up. It used to be every night.
Now, at least weekly. Still crushed. Mostly I don't remember what they are about but I try to follow her to where she is but I can never catch up. It's cruel and painful.

i sometimes have these strange nightmares that i forget the second i wake up

 

[Pg.964]

They stopped after several months for my first relationship. And for my most recent one, I kept having dreams that they were trying to murder me and that I should be careful. I don't really believe in dreams meaning things but that person destroyed me emotionally, only lasted a few months thankfully. But I believe it's a manifestation of my fears, or sometimes it's the longing for something I had. They go down in frequency slowly over time

 

[theboy]

almost always

Dreamed about her last night again. We will see what happens tonight.

had a 3 year relationship through university that all things considered ended on good terms, but basically I got dumped. In the beginning the dreams were often and vivid. In no doubt influenced by some meds I'm on. I think its totally natural and often sucks regardless of the situation. In time they are less and less. However even years later and after other minor relationships occasionally I have a dream about her. The dreams have changed though. In the beginning we would still be dating or just post breakup. In the later ones they were always after the breakup sometimes years after. She is not the only person from my past who on occasion is in my dreams too.

In the days and months after the event I think the dreams are an emotional response. However as time goes on I think they mean less and less. But again I think its completely normal . It's cliche but from my experience time does heal wounds even if not totally. Creating new memories or intaking lots of media like movies or reading could give the mind other things to conjure up. Also this is not an endorsement however for some people weed prevents them for dreaming. Hopefully something in this rant was helpful.

Well... Good news. I didn't dream about her last night. I also didn't sleep well.

You are such a wonderful soul, you really are.

I hope that you sleep very good tonight, you so richly deserve it.

Love your posts.

Yes last night. But not in a way of missing him. I dreamed of finally telling him to fuck off and blocking him for good.

It's funny to see this thread today, because it's been a while since I've been here and today I dreamed last night about my ex from years ago.

We don't keep in touch and we didn't end on a friendly note - she hit me, hit my mother, stole my business and even spread the word to the city that I hurt her.

In the dream, she wanted to get back together with me and I threw myself off a bridge to escape... but it was a small point in an unhealthy river. I stayed under the bridge, breathing through a gap between the water and the bridge. When I ran out of air, I woke up with a fright.

I just woke up sweating from a horrible nightmare along the same lines, I wrap my arms around you and give you a huge hug and tell you that you are never alone here.

Lots of love, kindness and the knowledge that you are part of a great good on here. I leave it this way as being pro-choice, everyone can add/think as they wish on this aspect.

Still dreaming about her. Last night and two nights ago.

i had today and fuck me it was so depressing.
we got back together in the dream. just wish it could happen in the real world too. she was so sweet. not great with communicating, but i was still willing to be patient enough to see her communication skills grow with time, even if i did ask her from time to time why she did X than Y, why she didn't do X, etc. maybe i just wasn't able to express it in action properly like i should have, but the intent and will was still there.

at the same time, it feels weird too.
back when we were still together, i dreamed of her leaving me behind.
idk if this was like some future prediction or divine message, but that's what ended up happening.

i get them a lot, it's fs werid to dream of me and him happy still even though we haven't talked in ages :(

i dont dream of any of my exes, but I always dream about my ex friends. its really unnerving and heartbreaking knowing that someone out there knows me better than myself and we arent in touch anymore, plus the fact that they and I actually hate each other now lol.

i haven't dated in a few years, and I was never really someone that cared too much about committed relationships anyways, it was mostly just me getting confessed to and feeling too awkward to say no (I was sixteen I don't do that anymore!!!!!!)

Two more dreams this week.

My dreams are always crazy random. I think I saw my ex but I don't really have a lot of feelings towards him as I've overcome my abuse over time. Knowing that I'm really just into him because on a nervous system level love being treated like garbage, you start losing interest. I don't love him. I just am traumatized lol. I've also took a long way into recovering. I think I started my healing journey almost two years ago and am a psychology NERD and love learning about it so... your journey will definitely take longer if psychology doesn't fascinate you.

I wish I had an ex to dream about
