Unpacking those dreams about your ex from a psychological, spiritual, and psychic angle
Download Article
When your ex makes a recurring appearance in your dreams, you may wonder if there's a spiritual meaning behind it. Many experts suggest that fantasies about a former partner help you process the grief from a breakup. Others speculate that people who were once in love may have a psychic connection with each other—and while there isn't any hard science to prove this, many people believe it. We'll review all of these theories and help you make sense of your dreams. Read on to wake up to the possibilities of what your subconscious (or your ex) is trying to tell you.
Things You Should Know
- If you lost yourself in a relationship, dreams of your ex can remind you to focus on your needs.
- When you're recovering from a breakup with an abusive partner, you might get flashbacks that remind you to steer clear of toxic dynamics.
- Some dreams may signify a spiritual bond or a psychic connection with your ex.
- Journal, reach out to your ex, consult a psychic, or book a session with a therapist to cope with your feelings or confusion about your breakup.
