When people enter a relationship, it leaves an impact on both lives. It's almost certain they will have dreams from time to time. Just because you dream about an ex, it doesn't mean you want to get back together or are still in love with the ex. You have to pay attention to the details. I am married and had a dream where he said he wanted a divorce.
I thought about getting back in touch with my ex as soon as he said it to try to get back together with him, but after a few minutes, thought it over. My husband and I worked things out.
In the dream, it was telling me to stop thinking about the past and focus on life now. I spoke on another site to a woman who had a dream that her ex came and took her away while she was out with her real life fiance. In the dream, she still felt like she loved him. In that dream, it seemed like she still wanted to be with him, but it is more likely she is having doubts about being with her fiance or she may be subconsciously picking up red flags in ways he's similar to her ex.
In retrospect, she may still have feelings for the ex but it's more likely there is a subconscious reason she doesn't want to be with him.
If you ever have a dream about an ex, never stress out and think that it's trying to tell you you still love them, try to find the deeper meaning behind it. Chances are it's trying to tell you to stop thinking about the past or stop regretting something about the past. Other times it maybe telling you that you may want to reevaluate the relationship you're in currently.

Five years after my divorce, I dreamed of my ex, and told him all the things I wanted to tell him before. I bawled him out, said my piece, I gave him it all. He just sat there and took it.
When I woke up the next morning, I felt so good. The best feeling I have had in a long time. I said everything that had been bottled up in me for years. It was finally out of my system and I could move on. On a side note, I didn't have those panic attacks when he came around to see the kids anymore. Now that is some cheap therapy!I am still dreaming about different exes. Some I still have an emotional attachment to others I am over but my curiosity may peak and I may be filling the blanks on their whereabouts.
No matter what you think or will admit to yourself, your dreams reflect more of your inner subconscious. The truth to your feelings are closer in your dreams than in reality.
That doesn't mean you are hung up on your exes but it might mean there was a connection there and still is.
I don't necessarily dream about this ex, but it's a small world where I live and one of my roommate's friends knows one of my exes I dated back in 2008 before I have been with the same person for the past 5ish+ years. Last week my roommate's friend said he ran into that guy at a tailgate and he almost invited him to hang out with us since they were friends from high school. I told him he was my so-called "ex" and he said he was so glad he didn't invite that dude over. Hahahaha.
Sometimes if I ever run into that guy I just want to know who he tried to convince me to date him for a week and I gave him a chance then he broke up with me literally the next day we hooked up and after 5 hours he introduced me to his parents. I told my roommate and his friend he should invite my ex over but not tell him I'm their 3rd roommate. I won't be there and then if he asks who are the roommates to say my name and if he starts talking shit about me I told him to let my ex know he really wasn't that great in bed with his pencil dick if he starts talking shit about me.
I let guys get away with so much shit. I just shrugged it off because it wasn't anything, but I really wish I had tore a new asshole with this dick who led me on to believe he would at least be with me for a while after being so persistent. Then again my roommate's friend told me someone in my ex's circle of friends has herpes. A mutual friend was born with herpes and I'm like the hell that isn't my ex. If I ever got something permanent from him I would have went there and beat his ass and this time it would have been warranted. Now that I know in that circle of friends someone has herpes and spread it to some girls who may or may not have gotten with my ex, I'm steering clear of that group. Luckily I never got anything like that. Honestly though, I wish I wouldn't have let this douche bag get away with that crap but some fights just aren't worth it.
I had a dream where my ex started stalking me, held me hostage and was going to shoot me because I didn't love him. o_O
It's funny, I rarely ever dream about close friends or past flings, but more about random classmates and people I barely know. lols.
I always have dreams with my ex...
Sometimes dreams can be much funner than real life. Anyways, did you get all this insight from a book about dreams or just your own interpretations. There are places to get official(if that's what you call it) interpretations.
@Gaia - I've been studying dream interpretation online, in books and through studying my own dreams I recorded over a decade ago. I have been working on a book on dream interpretation.
I meant to say I have been studying it for 17 years about. I started when I was in my single digit age (around 7 years old and I'm 24 now).
You guys have dreams of people you know? Almost always, the people in my dreams are individuals I don't actually recognize when I wake up. I only know who they are when I'm dreaming and when I wake up and think about it I have no idea who they could have been or who they would have represent.
That's just as well cause on the few days I have dreams of ppl I know in situations that were not outrageous, then I wake up confused.
Strange, I was wondering about this recently. I've had a dream about an ex few days ago.
I don't have dreams about him often, or at all to be honest. I had one once after we broke up and one just recently. I'm guessing its as you said, it doesn't mean that I want to get back but I still think about him time-to-time.
Who knows, dreams are dreams. Its far from reality sometimes but they are something to ponder about.
I used to dream about my last ex alll the time, now it's just from time to time. I definitely know it's because I still love her, though most of the dreams are her just yelling at me, or trying to kill me. I don't think I think too much about it when I have them, but my dreams are pretty vivid to the point where once I wake up it takes me a while to realize something was a dream and not real life. Usually remembering that my ex I haven't talked to in years was part of it is easy enough to realize was a dream though heh.
I've never dreamed about an ex, usually people I don't know or distant friends.
I had a dream that an ex was in my college class, and he kept trying to talk to me while the teacher was lecturing. I remember felling really annoyed. Then the teacher was like, "is there a problem?"
hahaha. I don't know what this dream means.
I've broken up with my ex (who I still really like) but I've only dreamt of him twice for the whole time that I've known him O.o
