Since ancient times, people have attached great importance to dreams and built many theories about their interpretation, trying to see signs from Higher powers in dreams and look into their future. And now, in the time of exact sciences and high technologies, many have not lost faith in the mystical nature of dreams and in the morning they look for the interpretation of remembered dreams in dream books. Meanwhile, science has also made great progress in studying the nature of sleep, and modern psychologists and psychotherapists are confident that the world of dreams is a reflection of a person’s subconscious, his experiences, thoughts and feelings. Therefore, psychologists, along with dream interpreters, can explain to people far from mysticism and science why the dead dream, why in our dreams we see nightmares, return to our childhood or meet former lovers.
Both psychologists and dream interpreters pay especially much attention to dreams about former loved ones, since, unlike dreams about everyday things, they always have great meaning for a person and say a lot about his feelings and experiences. A dream involving a former lover can help the dreamer deal with accumulated emotions, take a more sober look at current love relationships, and sometimes look into the future. Let's consider how dreams about former beloved men/women are interpreted by psychologists and dream interpreters.
What is a dream?
For a normal and harmonious life, every person needs good rest - sleep. During sleep, a person rests not only with his body, but also with his soul. During this period, the brain stops its active work and can “set aside” several hours to prepare for a new busy day.
But sleeping at night doesn't mean your brain can shut down completely. Our subconscious still makes itself felt, which encourages the brain to “broadcast” dreams. For one they are calm and happy, for the other they are anxious and nightmarish. What determines what we see in a dream?
Previously, people could not explain the nature of sleep, and believed that dreams were something similar to the transition of the soul to the other world. They also believed that dreams could be prophetic, and were given to man by nature so that he could foresee his fate.
However, in modern times, the concept of dreams has changed. Modern research has made it possible to find an explanation of what dreams mean and where they come from.
It is now known that dreams are a reflection of a person’s thoughts, desires and experiences, a kind of projection of memories from real life into the subconscious.
It turns out that a dream is a certain “sorting” of information that occurs when a person is resting. During this period, the brain looks for additional ways to resolve unresolved problems, remembers feelings and experiences. Depending on what a person dreams, one can judge the problems in his life.
Since some human dreams are often repeated, they are combined into a separate group, and based on their meaning, they begin to look for the reasons for their appearance.
So, according to statistics, every second girl or woman once dreams of her ex-boyfriend. What is it for?
What can dreams about ex-partners mean?
There is no consensus on why girls or women dream about their ex-boyfriends from time to time. Different dream books explain such dreams in different ways.
Most often, such dreams are interpreted as follows:
- The unexpected appearance of an ex-boyfriend in a dream can mean a sudden meeting with the true love of your life.
- If a breakup occurred recently, and an ex-boyfriend increasingly appears in a girl’s dreams, this may promise disappointment and failure in her romantic life.
- In a case where in reality a girl is faced with an important choice, a dream about an ex-boyfriend may mean that the girl will commit a rash act.
Of course, there can be any explanation for the ex-boyfriend you dreamed about, because the most important thing is not why the young man is dreaming, but why your subconscious doesn’t “erase” him from your memory.
To understand the consequences, I’ll tell you a little about the possible reasons.
A dream about the past, with which you broke up a long time ago, by day of the week
The plot, the main character of which is a half-forgotten gentleman, is interpreted differently. Here they delve into the feeling left by the picture. This is what explains the meaning of the hint. Options:
- Loss, bitterness - soon memories will revive faded feelings. Would you like to meet and chat?
- Emptyness is a sign of fatigue. Stop carrying the whole world on your shoulders. Get plenty of rest.
- Lightness, high spirits - a long-time dream will come true. Probably, the child’s wish will come true exactly as imagined.
- Oppression, humiliation is a way out from under oppressive factors. As an option: dismissal from a boring job; promotion of a boss - a despot.
- Anger, aggression, resentment are an indication of the presence of unspoken claims. We need to clear the accumulated negative load from our souls.
Crying bitterly in a dream is a great omen. The black streak has sunk into oblivion. There is a positive period ahead.

The most common version: why do you dream about your ex-boyfriend...
I am sure that if you ask the older generation why you dreamed about your ex-partner, the answer will be unequivocal - according to folk wisdom, you dream about your ex-boyfriend because the young man is still thinking about you.
And perhaps he not only thinks, but also extremely regrets the breakup of your relationship. It is also likely that in the near future you will receive news from him or at least a call asking you to restore your old relationship.
Should we trust folk wisdom? To be honest, I doubt it. If only because your ex-boyfriend is clearly not a telepath, and most likely cannot influence your subconscious so much from afar.
Psychologists say that the reasons why you may dream about your ex-boyfriend are hidden much “deeper” in your subconscious.
Kissing with your lover
One of the most negative scenes. Kisses are deciphered like this:
- Wake you up with the touch of your lips - you will suddenly be faced with the black betrayal of trusted persons. Disappointment will be extremely bitter, painful, and unpleasant.
- Kissing passionately is a blow from colleagues or friends. They will set you up for a showdown with your superiors. Moreover, you will suffer innocently, but you will not be able to prove it.
- Kisses lightly on the cheek - trouble will happen because of an ancient friend. His activity will disrupt plans and cause confusion.
He tries to kiss, and you turn away - to unreasonable worries. A certain event will cause a negative reaction, a lot of bad suspicions, even torment. But there is no need to mope. Soon everything will be resolved in your favor.
A real-life example of why I often dream about my ex-boyfriend
It would seem that I have told you about all the possible reasons why an ex-boyfriend may appear in your dream.
However, researchers point to another reason - unintentional memory. I’ll explain what this means now. Not long ago my neighbor bought himself a new car. Returning home, I saw him drive up, and being a polite person, I congratulated him on such a pleasant purchase. We immediately struck up a conversation. We discussed how long he had dreamed of this car, and how many funny situations happened to him on the way to his dream.
On this happy note, we said goodbye, and when I arrived home, I immediately went to bed, since it had been a hard day at work. The next morning I woke up in a good mood, but in slight bewilderment - my ex-boyfriend, whom I had not seen for more than 2 years, appeared to me in a dream. We parted well and calmly, our feelings for him had long cooled down. This begs the question: why did I even dream about him?
I decided to share this question with my close friend - she is my psychologist. Hearing my indignation, she quickly found the reason for my dream. The fact is that my ex-boyfriend once had the same car as my neighbor. And when I saw his car, I involuntarily remembered my ex, which is why he, in fact, invaded my dream.
So there was no regret, no hope of restoring the relationship. These were simple memories to which I did not attach even the slightest importance.
It follows that a dream about an ex-boyfriend is still very often a simple parallel, to which we rarely attach importance, and then we look for the reasons for unexpected dreams.
General interpretation of sleep
Seeing a loved one in a dream means being satisfied with your personal life. Kissing him is an auspicious sign that indicates that the relationship has reached its highest point and is currently ideal for both partners. If the kiss took place in a dark room, this is an indicator of gossip and discussions behind your back. Someone close to you wants to quarrel between the couple and spreads unpleasant rumors.
What to do if dreams about exes become a little more frequent?
It's good if the dream about your ex-boyfriend brings back pleasant memories for you.
But it also happens the other way around: sometimes girls wake up horrified by what they saw, and try with all their might to forget what they saw in their dream. This often makes dreams about exes more frequent, and there is a need to find a way out of the current situation. What can be done in this case?
| Steps | Description |
| Step 1. Calm down and come to your senses. | Whatever you dream, do not rush to get upset. It was just a dream, not real life. Therefore, the first thing you need to do is pull yourself together and breathe a sigh of relief. |
| Step 2. Analyze whether there is a problem that you are trying to “hide”. | To understand the reasons for such dreams, you need to admit to yourself whether there is anything left from the relationship that is gnawing at you. It doesn’t matter what it is: resentment or anger, hatred or sympathy. You need to find the problem within yourself. |
| Step 3: Resolve the outstanding issue. | No matter what your problem is, the main task is to eradicate it. Analyze your mistakes and his, set yourself up for the best, and think about what important experience you gained. Use all methods to permanently eliminate the problem in your subconscious. |
It will be great if you can deal with the questions in your head on your own. But don’t worry if you can’t eradicate the problem alone. In this case, the best solution to the problem is to consult a psychologist.
Why do you dream about your ex-boyfriend or husband?
Night plot details
If you dreamed that your ex was asking you to marry him or giving you a ring, and his current girlfriend saw this and got angry, in reality the dreamer is happy with her life. She is happy with her current lover, feels loved and desired. A girl who had such a dream is capable of making informed decisions. Night dreams personify the integrity of nature and inner strength.
When you dream that your past partner cheated with someone else , you need to analyze your current relationship. The dreamer does not trust her loved one enough, suspects him of a tendency to cheat, or considers herself not attractive enough. But since in a dream the cheater is not the current lover, but the former, the sleeping woman subconsciously trusts her man.
To receive a gift from an ex and his girlfriend in a dream means the dreamer will feel underappreciated. She wants more attention, but the people around her don't meet her needs. Night images show that the dreamer is looking for love and support in the wrong places.
You should be careful: such an attitude can lead to a woman meeting a gigolo, a swindler, or agreeing to the role of a mistress. The correct course of action in such a situation is to learn to value yourself as an individual.
I dreamed about his wedding
Someone else's marriage is a good omen. If your ex-lover got married, it means you will be able to choose the right direction of development. Serious, focused work will allow you to achieve great heights.
Dancing at a wedding is a romantic hobby; crying is a great joy; secretly watching the young from the side - owning other people's secrets.
