A frequent dream analysis request on Dream Prophesy goes something like this: “What does it mean to dream about an ex? Does it mean I want them back?!“ Most people seem astonished to dream of their ex because, in their conscious state, the last thing they’d want is to have the ex back!
More times than not, when you dream about an ex (girlfriend, boyfriend, husband, wife), it isn’t really THEM that your dream represents. Usually (though not always, of course) it’s the period of time that your mind is revisiting – your ex just happens to be there. In the same way that our AWAKE mind revisits the past, through memories, sometimes our ASLEEP mind does the same.
If we’re going through a stressful time in our lives and seem to have more on our proverbial plate than we ever asked for – our mind will take us to a “simpler time” – if an ex happens to be there, it isn’t necessarily a compliment to them. They just happened to be in the picture at the time.
However, if it becomes a recurring dream, the analysis may be a little different. Here’s an example:
Trudie was married to a man named Carl, a wonderful man who she was crazy about. His only vice, her e-mail said, was that he was a workahaulic. He worked 12 hours a day and, when he came home, all he wanted to talk or think about was work. Other than that, they were happily married and had a comfortable life.
However, she began to dream about her ex-husband regularly. In her dreams, they were always having fun – doing things they used to do together (fishing, hiking, going to movies…). She was beginning to think that her subconcious mind wanted Mr. Wrong back instead of Mr. Right!
She was reliveved to find out that her subconcious mind was simply giving her a message – she missed doing the things she once did and a part of her wished that her second husband had as much fun with life as her first one did. After all, she said, it was the only thing he ever got right!
Without mentioning the dreams or husband #1′s name (of course), Trudie told Carl that he needed to lighten up and enjoy life more. The whole business of work-related subjects being the only words out of his mouth had gotten very old, very fast. She made arrangements for them to go fishing one weekend and Carl fell in love with it so much, she now kind of wishes he’d give her a Saturday OFF the lake!
Examine your dreams and see if there’s a hidden message, such as the one above. 9 times out of 10 there isn’t a specific message – your subconscious simply wanted to take a stroll down memory’s lane… and you-know-who just happened to be there!

I had a dream where my twin sister and boyfriend were dating. They have not met yet. In the dream, we tell each other how much we love each other. But as the dream progressed it seemed as if I had given them permission to see each other since he and I were on our way out of our relationship. I rarely dream, and when I do, I never remember them…but this one is staying with me. Could someone tell me if there is a meaning behind this dream>
This really helped me. My ex cheated on me and I knew I didn’t want him back, so when I started dreaming about him I was confused. This really shed some light on that. I am with a wonderful man now, we have a son and another baby on the way.
If someone dreams about themselves being pregnant what does that mean?

i keep having dreams about my ex-husband. these dreams come in diffrent ways some times im with his famaly, sometimes he is asking me to come back to him. i really dont like my ex husband so why do i keep dreaming this.
What a great article, I shall add it to my favourites.
WOW, THANK YOU SOOO MUCH. My ex wife left me about 3 years ago; her choice, not mine. I’m happily remarried now, but for the last few months, it seems like at LEAST 3 times a week I’ve had a dream about my ex wife, and we are always doing something fun that her and I used to do. My wife now, is wonderful, but just doesn’t enjoy doing the kind of things that my ex wife and I used to go do. But after reading the story about Trudie, it makes much more sense. My dreams aren’t about me wanting my ex back….it’s just about missing some of the fun activities we used to do together!! Whew! Thank you SOO much!!
I had a dream that after me and my ex broke up, we found out she was pregnant with our baby. The dream took place in the hospital and I was waiting on the pregnancy. I was in the room when she finally gave birth and I saw the baby first. I thought the boy looked a lot like her but also had some of my features. I was incredibly happy. I kissed my ex. The dream was very vivid and real feeling. Other things went on like my mom and friends coming to see the baby. The baby smiled at me once, and i was very very happy.
The dream was pretty emotional and brings up some interesting questions. Its especially odd since one of the downfalls of our relationship was my unwantingness to loko ahead to stuff like having a kid.
i just broke up with my girlfriend and when we were together i would dream about her alot and then weve been fighting and i still have had dreams with her in them and we were actually happy in them, i still am in love with her and want her back but she says she cant take me back, but in my dreams i get her back and we are perfect, should i keep trying to get her back?
I had a dream about me leaving somewhere, and my ex was in my dream. He held my hands and said ” look me in the eyes, and tell me you love me ” I looked him in the eye and said ” ..I love you ” gave him a kiss (I was in a car, and couldnt identify the driver) when I kiss him the driver droved away, then I woke up.. so can any tell me what this dream means?
i had this dream before that this girl ive been close to i really like in high school that i was liveing with her in my dream and it seemed like i was older i was takeing care of her in my dream but it was like a fantasy at first but then i came home from work and she had friends over and i dont know but it seemed like she was about to tell me something amazing that would shock me im guessing this is what she told me she said something like we were gonna have a baby or something and i dont remember the rest but i sorta dont remember everything she told me but i was so happy that was all i guess i dont remember the whole dream if i only could choose my life one day i would choose to start it with her we love each other but she only wants to be friends for now tell we finish school but i feel something special when im around her she was my best friend for a long time but ill pray to god that i will be with her in the future i want to have kids with her i dont just like a girl for there looks i like em for there personality and how they are in the inside i hope jesus changes me so i can be anything i want in life

Great post, thanks. Like your blog design too.
it was almost 3 years since i lost 1 of the most important person in my life in that time..its was betrayal and cheating that breaks our relationship..Now i believe i’ve moved on..but it was so strange on my part to keep dreaming about this person..presently i’m in love with someone special..so it just soo weird that the past still bothers me…
