What does it mean to dream about your ex?
Dreaming about an ex is common and usually isn't a sign you should get back together. More often it points to unfinished feelings, a lesson from that relationship resurfacing, or a part of yourself you connected with while you were together.
It can appear when something in your current life echoes the past, when you're processing a breakup, or when you're craving a feeling — passion, comfort, freedom — that you associate with them rather than the person themselves.
Ask: what did that relationship give me or teach me, and is that what I'm really missing now?
