Former Lover in Dreams
Posted in Relationship Dream Meanings
People come and go in your life. Some may stay stationary, while others may fade away and become a distant memory. No matter what, it can not be denied that they didn’t have some sort of influence in our lives. We may think back to them or they may even appear in our dreams. To dream about a former lover, you may feel a lack of closure for the love story between the both of you. There may be some unresolved issues pertaining to your past relationship that you wish to find the answers to. Without answers, you feel restless and not at ease.
Dreaming about a former love may indicate that you are currently in a situation or relationship just like the past. You yearn to change certain aspects of your current relationship and not have it lead to the same outcome as the previous. On the other hand, it may symbolize you feel malcontent and disheartened by your current existing relationship.
To see a former lover in your dream may also represent you missing certain aspects of that person or the relationship with them as a whole. You may feel unrequited feelings towards your former lover whom may have moved on. Although he or she has moved on, you still yearn for them and wish to start over or give the relationship a second chance.
Therefore, it’s best to first sort out your feelings and see what you really want before making a move.

what does it mean if a ex-lover keeps recurring in my dreams every night? and whats it mean if she and her new boyfriend are broken up for me?
Your ex lover means a lot to you, and you continue to cherish many of the memories you shared together.
When they break up in the dream is your inner most desires coming out, but it does not necessarily mean it is reality. The best option is to move on and start giving new relationships a chance.
what does it mean for my ex to keep reappearing in my dreams. he was my first love.
Your ex will always be a part of you as that is a normal because you shared with them a part of your life. Try taking up new activities, and establish new relationships that will eventually replace those memories of your first love.
My ex broke up with me about 2 to 3 years ago. I haven’t thought about him for a long time, until today. Last night I had constant reoccuring dreams about him. I didn’t sleep well. I woke up at least 5 or 6 times during the night. I never give dreams much thought, but for every dream to be about him… I am just very confused. Is there any meaning to these kind of dreams?
The human mind acts in very random ways. Perhaps you did something or saw something that triggered these memories to resurface in your dreams. It is perfectly normal, because we cannot control our dreams even if we wanted to.
Treat the dreams about your ex as you living in an alternate reality which does not necessarily conflict with your waking life.
My ex cheated on me and we tried to work it. Eventually things ended even though he says he still loves me and feelings for me, he got another girlfriend almost immediately. I have accepted that it over and dealt with the fact he has someone..it has not been an easy process. Now lately I dream of him constantly, the dream seem to mock my pain and I am reminded in each dream how things didnt work and that he has a girlfriend. Why this mental torture? I’m fully aware he’s moved on. Sometimes in the dreams we are trying to kiss or touch but something always gets in the way. I’m so mad at myself for not being able to get him out of my head!
i keep having a dream about my first love…the father of my first child who i loved unconditionally and in my dream i am confessing my true feelings for him…telling him how much i love him and in some cases kissing him…but i am happily married now and have been going on 5 years so i wanna know whats really going on
In your sub-conscious mind, you do not want to let go of the past relationship. You still desire to be with your ex despite the fact that you had both moved on. It seems you love your ex more than your present husband. You must learn to let go and concentrate on your marriage, putting all you can to make it work. God can instill into your hearts that love that burns high enough to last you and your spouse a lifetime, one so strong that nothing can come inbetween. All you need to do is to ask Him. Do not allow anything to destroy the stability of your home.
very true
It can be so hard sometimes but the new person who loves you more is far more worth it
The man that I fell in love with was getting in to trouble and eventually got in enough trouble to where he was put into jail and deported back to Mexico.. I have not seen him in over a year nor talked to him in over a year… But I keep having reaccuring dreams everynight. He never was able to say goodbye. And I’m utterly confused in what to do or what to think… I had a dream that he had came back and he found me.. i was happy in my dream and he told me that he love’d me and he was sorry and didn’t want it to happen that way.. Although this is what I desire most, seeing it in my sleep made things much worse for getting over this man….
If you believe in God, pray for your man’s safety and salvation so that he will not get into a more serious trouble wherever he is now. God bless.
My ex and I have been broken up for many years now. We first started dating when we were 14-15 years old. Hes always been so good to me and loved me so much, i think the only reason we broke up was because we were so young. He’s always wanted to get back together with me even after 5 years. We hooked up about two years ago when he was taking a break from a past relationship. I started developing strong feelings for him, but he went back to his ex. In anger, i started dating one of his best friends, whome he was living with at the time. I only started dating him because i was upset and wanted to get back at him. He soon broke up with his ex, and started dating this other girl. I was so jealous it made me sick to my stomach. Finally i moved away from that town to forget about him, and his girlfriend that i couldn’t stop thinking about. NOW im in a NEW relationship with a past ex of mine, and i’ve been having dreams about this guy again!! about him and i getting back together and him breaking up with his gf. I know my dreams mean that i still miss him, and want him to break up with his ex for me. Should i confront him about this? about my dreams and how i feel? Or should i go on living my life and try little by little to forget about him?
It feels like i need closure? (but i dont want to make an ass of myself at the same time) HELP ME!

i had a dream when my first love (going back almost 15 years ) was teaching me to play carol of the bell on a plastic recorder??? WTF
well i went out wit my first love wen i was 13 till i was 14 1/2 and now im 16 bout to be 17 and my first love added me and is now talkin to me and i had a dream of him the very night he started talking to me and it was of a memorie that we did before but not exactly the same
Its been almost a yr. since my ex and i broke up and in the last month ive been dreaming about him at least twice a week and if not more then that. Its wierd because we haven’t talked in months. I want to contact him after having these recurring dreams but i know he is in a relationship and i dont want to cause problems. Lately ive been having this one dream over and over again. I’m at a house, housesitting with my sister, the owner is unknown young guy who is on vacation with his family, im at the house and i start finding stuff that looks familiar to me so i start snooping , the dream keeps going on with me going into secret doors kinda of like a mystery and finding clues to remember how ive seen this place before. In the end i realize its my ex’s house.I find girls stuff and realize he is in a relationship. So i was trying to leave before he got home but he got there before i could leave so i try to hide. He finds me and he is suprised to see me there, he gets very upset, then is relieved i was there, and kisses me then i wake up
I have had this dream before along time ago (months) and now im having it more often(back to back)
i have dated other guys after we broke up
I wonder what this means
I saw dreams about a guy whom I loved but who rejected me and did it very badly.
First I saw my father wake me up because i was asleep, then I see that that there is some electricity problem, I woke up and my father told me that you knew a guy from other night, i correct him in that, my father says he has come, and my father is very happy(which is astonishing because he dislikes that fight), I go to see him and his mother (who was the main problem with our relationship, as he told me) where none of them looking at me or paying attention to me as if I were not present, I am thinking as to why he has come after all this and after humiliating me so much. I am unhappy and my father is very happy he says we accepted the proposal and he puts sweet in my mouth.
I ignored this dream I thought may be i was seeing what i want in real life.
But then again I started reciting kalimah and ayah’s before going to sleep and I saw him trying to touch me breasts and have sex with me.
I am very ashamed because of all this I do not want to see sex in dreams especially with him,even though I recited kalimah I saw him.
Does this mean anything?
Please anyone help me I do not think about him yet I have dreams about him!
Hello! I keep having dreams about the guy I’ve crushed on since 4th grade. We are both 23 now and Dated when we were 21. It was my dreams come true. Then he took my heart ripped it out, smashed into 1,000 pieces and stomped on it. I am not in a new relationship for the past 2years. They way things ended before w/ my other guy werent too great… it just stopped w/ no phone call returns from him or anything… I keep dreaming that I am with him in the future and he is protecting me in some way. my current relationship is shaky and unstable to say the least. We have a daugther together she is 1. I dont know where i am going..
I meant I am not in a new relationship…
Can you interpret the dream meaning of boyfriend smiling with five kids?
I had a dream the other night about an ex. I had been thinkin about him for awhile because I realized I was still in love with him. I decided not to pursue it…but then I had this dream…..
I was kissing my ex and we were both laughing and happy. I wish I knew what it all meant.
My friend have a dream of me and my ex boyfriend. My ex boyfriend starts shouting “I still love me, please come back. I will leave my girlfriend for you.” Then I cry. I resist at first and then we hug. Can you please interpret her dream Thanks.
ok, my ex girlfriend and i kinda seperated on weird terms. it just kind of faded off. well she has moved on and i haven’t. i’ve tried, multiple times. but i can’t get the image of us out of my head. the other night i had a dream about her where i felt like i woke up and she was laying next to me and we just laid there and looked into each others eyes. what does this mean??? i can’t stop thinking about it
It’s been 2 months. Last night I dreamt my former lover proposed to me at our work place in front of everyone but I said no because I wanted to get to know him better. When we split up I still wanted him but moved on. Then he wanted me back but i said no. He now has a new girlfriend. I believe I’m in love with him. I get hot flushes every time I see him and feel faint. Is this my inner desire or something else? I’ve tried to move on but he keeps appearing in my dreams.
i saw a dream that the guy i like was making out with me .. and he promised he would come see me at a station but he never showed , he also didnt look too happy when he was kissing me .
i think a month later i had a dream about him avoiding me
like he was in the same place as me n so were his friends he was being very rude.
and jus the other day i had another dream that he deleted me of facebook and i felt like he want anything to do with me .
does this mean he hates me ?
and doesn’t want me in his life ?

My boyfriend passed away 11 weeks ago, on the day off his funeral i saw him in my dream. However, i didnt know he was dead but i did ask him if he was going to Pakistan ( he is burried in Pakistan). He wiped his eyes, it seemed like he was crying tears off joy, and he he said to me “No, im not going Pakistan” What does this mean?…& how can i see him again?
I dreamed of me and my ex Arranging a marriage with my dad. I’ve been dreaming about him ALOT.
and my feelings about him now is really confusing.
what does this mean
Cause we’ve been hooking up lately. and we have the same set of friends and everytime we hangout he’s been so sweet to me always.
what does it mean if my ex shows up in my dream and is holding her child and is surprised to see me in the apartment we lived in?
what does it mean when your ex-boyfriend is fighting or wrestling a pig in the dream and he wins?
I have know this guy for 22 years. A couple years ago we reconnected and started a relationship but it wasn’t an official one meaning we could do whatever we wanted because we weren’t committed. Anyways I developed strong feeling for him then he never wanted to pursue anything so after a while I found my boyfriend who I am with now.
I still talk to this other guy and he recently told me he cared about me more than I knew but never told me. So I had a dream about him telling me he wanted to be with me and to break up with my boyfriend for him. But this guy is not the type of person to express how he feels ever and he would never ask me to do this is person…what does this mean?
In my dreams my ex boyfriend keeps appearing, not always as my boyfriend. In one dream we were together and the rest, we has just ran into one another. The one I had last night was with him and his ex girlfriend (the one before me). They were living together and she was pregnant. I remember him telling me she wasnt ready to be a wife and me wanting to be alone with him and tell him I wanted hom back. I even cooked for him. Funny thing is, in reality, im not sure if i miss him, and im in a relationship, im pregnant and were going to get engaged soon. In the past month, Ive had many dreams with him. What does this mean?
my ex broke up with me a month ago as he realized that he was still in love with his ex girlfriend. last night in my dream he called me up and said that he is not committed and still comes too see me often as he. what does this dream mean? does it means that he will come back to me and leave that girl?
HE STILL LOVES YOU AND YOU STILL LOVE HIM.

i had a dream about my ex boyfriend who broke up with me in august but we met about a year ago around this time, he had an erection, and i felt it and got excited and then he backed off and was like ‘i don’t like girls who are just all over it like that’ and i said something along the lines of ‘well thats what you want’ and he was like ‘no.. i want to be with you, my mom really liked you and everything, there are some things we just need to work out’
we don’t talk often and he broke up with me, it was a mutual break up because both of us just became too busy for eachother, we didn’t break up because loss of feelings. i miss him from time to time ..
I had a dream that my ex boyfriend he said to me that he love me and want me bk but i was pregnant with my husband baby
i just had a dream that i saw my ex boyfriend at a party, he noticed me then walked down the stairs and told me i looked beautiful. I hung out with him a lot, then he said something to me and i felt the urge to kiss him on the cheek but resisted because i have a boyfriend. I woke up the next morning in a cemetery with him no where to be found and i couldnt remember a thing about the night before. he appeared with 4 different types of flowers. He said he wasnt sure which one was my favorite, he layed one flower down for his mother on a grave and it was purple and poison. i touched it, then left and went to the hospital, i told him later that i was sorry i had to go and the daises were my favorite. what does this mean? i am very worried.
mine is a litlle harsh.. I dreamt my ex said he loves me and i slapped him.. Cus he can’t say that after everything eg him getting engaged. Lol whats up with that? I must say i liked the slapping him part,
I currently have a boyfriend one that I plan on stay with. I love him very much. But recently I went to my dads in another state and saw an ex who we didn’t really come to end or talk about it. He just stopped talking to me and answering me then two months later sends a message saying I don’t deserve to be treated this way. But of course I wanted answers. Never got them. But I came to terms with that. I don’t miss him don’t want to be with him at all don’t even care to talk to him. I’m not confused not tore between the two. I guess it’s something like I miss an aspect of him that my current boyfriend doesn’t have?
I had a dream that me and my ex got back together and I bought her a scarf

Its 2 yrs later he has a girlfriend and there having a baby but I keep dreaming of him behind her back telling me he loves me and why am I with my current boyfriend what does this mean
Last night I had a dream that my ex snuck into my house, woke me up to tell me that he was sorry or treating me terribly. He began to rub my stomach looked me in the eye and said he never meant any of it, that he wanted to get back together. I got out of bed and told him he better hide. So I rushed him into the closet and when he tried to kiss me i turned away and gave him a hug. Then I got into the car with my grandpa and drove away. I woke up at 3:30 crying.
i had a dream about my ex-boyfriend getting engaged to his current girlfriend and I woke up heart broken.
What does it mean to dream that you are back with your ex and then in front of him a blue eye police offiecer comes up and gives u a kiss? What does this mean?
I had been friends with a guy for years and I ended up loving him, finally told him and he turned me down, but we remained (an awkward state) of friends. I’ve been over it for a few years, but now I had a dream that he said he loved me, cuddled on the couch and talked enjoying the company, it was like being a new married couple. I woke up confused and wishing both it was and wasn’t true. What does this mean?
I always dream of my husbands ex-girl friend.This dreams start after i came to know that she tried to keep relation with my husband lately. Please can you tell me why m dreaming this all the time.
Thanks
I had this dream two nights ago. It took place outside with 9 girls including me. We went up in groups of 3 to see our men. We were all wearing what seemed like wedding gowns but there was no preist so im guessing it was an engagement?? But when the last 2 women and I stepped forward, our men drove up in front of us in their big trucks, got off and approached us. The guy I approached was a guy I dated for a short period of time. Anyways, he came up to me, pulled a napkin out of his pocket and got the ring out of the napking. He then proceed to get down on one knee and say “marry me”… of this part of the dream it gets all hazy cuz I was waking up but I want to know WHY I HAD THIS DREAM… What does it mean?!?!
in my dream, my ex and i are laying int the bed, fully dressed, on top of the blankets. we are talking about our lives and what has happened since we have been a part. he begins discussing his current wife and the news that they are expecting another child (in reality they aren’t) I react to this impassively (in reality for some reason the fact that they have children together bothers me greatly), and he makes a face. the crazy thing about the face is that it is an expression that my current boyfriend does when something is disatisfying or irritating to him. i always wake up at this point. this is the 4th dream this month.
I had a dream last night about my fiance and his brother. I was dating the brother rather than my fiance, but in the dream me and the fiance still had strong feelings for each other, but yet we never spoke to eachother. It was more of me and the fiance being in close quarters than me being with the brother in the dream. In real life I don’t mind the brother but he is not someone I would date, he kind of annoys me.
Ok me and my ex broke up after 7 years he started cheating on me while I was working 2 jobs trying to support us well after the 3rd chance I couldn’t take the heartbreak anymore but he was the 1 to break up with me we were engaged to be married in a couple of months and he said he never loved me and didn’t wanna marry me.. Well later on I found a great man and ok happily married and my ex is still single he can’t find anybody but y do I have dreams of him and there good dreams well last night I dreamed me and him had a beautiful baby boy together. But while we were inna relationship we were trying to have a child but y do I have a dream like this I’m confused.. Bc me and my husband r so happy and so in love I don’t wanna let my dreams ruin our marriage.
I had a dream last night where my best friend and I went to see my first love in his new town. While there I saw all of the significant males I have dated. I awoke questioning a lot of things, and I cannot seem to find meaning in it.
