“Dreaming about a long-ago ex — especially a first love — is incredibly common,” says Loewenberg. “That ex becomes symbolic of passion, uninhibited desire, unafraid love, etc.” These dreams are your subconscious minds way of telling you that you want more ~spice~ in your life.

What does it mean if I see my ex in my dream?

According to relationship expert Terri Orbuch, who spoke to Womens Health, dreaming about an ex could mean that youre looking for closure. Maybe youre unsettled with the way things ended between the two of you, or maybe youre still trying to work past the way your relationship ended in your mind.

Why did I dream of someone I dont talk to anymore?

Studies show that your dream consciousness is very similar to your waking consciousness, so dreaming about someone you dont talk to anymore points to daily emotions youre currently feeling (and may need to process). You should also take note of how people from your past are acting in your dream.
