What does it mean when you dream about your ex getting back together?

You’ve been dreaming about your ex lately.

It’s strange because you’re actually happy with your life and your current relationship…so what gives?

Here in this article, I will give you some of the common reasons why you dream of getting back together with your ex.

1) You’re dissatisfied with your current relationship

One very obvious reason why you’d be dreaming a lot about your ex is because you’re dissatisfied with your current relationship.

You might not want your ex back, not exactly. There’s a reason why they’re your ex, after all.

But you can’t deny that there was something about your relationship with them that your current partner hasn’t been able to give you.

Maybe your current partner hasn’t been giving you the time and attention your ex did, or perhaps your current partner simply isn’t speaking your love language.

If this is the case, you will want to figure out those exact reasons why and talk to your partner about it. Just don’t compare them with your ex.

2) Deep down, you still miss them

It’s also possible that you simply miss your ex, no matter how much you deny it.

Perhaps it’s because despite all their flaws, there was a “spark” inside of them that you have never seen in anyone else since.

And that’s fine. Emotions aren’t exactly rational and they used to be an important part of your life. The heart doesn’t simply forget all of that.

It’s especially hard to move on if you find yourself repeatedly reminded of their presence, like if you’re surrounded by mementos of your time together.

So take the time to work your emotions out in a safe space. If you’re in a relationship, focus on your current partner and try to appreciate them for who they are.

3) The universe is trying to tell you something

It could be that the universe itself is trying to tell you something, and that something has to do with your ex in one way or another.

Sometimes, it even means that your ex is actually destined to return to you.

If you’re sensitive and introspective enough, you can try to decode your dreams. However, for a more accurate reading, having a psychic to help you figure your dreams out will be very helpful.

I recommend scheduling a session at Psychic Source. They’re a team of spiritual advisors who guide common folks like you and me on how to decode messages from the universe.

I can vouch for them. They helped me understand what was going on when a lot of weird things—like uncanny coincidences and repeating numbers—kept showing up in my life.

And, well, their guidance has stirred me in the right direction. Without talking to a psychic, I would not have been able to turn my life around.

4) There was no closure

Simply put, there wasn’t any closure in your relationship.

Perhaps they left out of the blue, or broke up with you without bothering to listen to what you have to say.

There are many things left unsaid, and too many dreams and promises unfulfilled.

Perhaps you might even be regretting that you wasted so much time on them, and you dream because you want to hold on to the thought that all that time wasn’t wasted.

If it’s possible for you to seek closure, then doing so would be a good idea. But sometimes you’ll just have to accept that closure isn’t always possible and you’re better off trying to move on by yourself.

5) Your ex is trying to manifest you

Perhaps they’re the one who’s full of regrets and is missing your presence in their life, so in their desire to get back together with you, they try to manifest you.

You should suspect that this is what’s going on if those dreams came out of nowhere—when there’s nothing that should remind you of them, and especially if you have moved on from them completely.

Think deeply about how you feel about them, and make your choice on what to do next based on that.

Do you want to reach out to them, or do you want to move on and never look back again?

6) You miss the old you

…or the way your life used to be.

Change is an inevitable part of life, and it’s a given that we will, at one point or another, regret that those changes happened.

Perhaps you have grown older and wiser, but in doing so cast aside the bliss of innocence.

Perhaps you’re in a much better relationship now, but you barely have any time to yourself because of your responsibilities and yearn for the days when you could afford to just laze around all day.

Or perhaps you simply miss how simpler life was back then, and how you would find joy in something as simple as a slice of pizza.

Your ex reminds you of who you used to be because they were there with you at that time. They have become a symbol of those days gone by, and an outlet for your grief.

So grieve. It’s fine to grieve for what your life once was and who you used to be, even if by all means you’re a “better” person now.

7) You’re worried about your future

If your ex was abusive — mentally, physically, or both — then this is most likely the case.

Those dreams of you getting back together with your ex are nightmares more than anything else. You’re afraid of getting back with your ex… or experiencing something just as bad.

For example, you might be afraid of losing your house or your job. Or perhaps you’re apprehensive about your upcoming promotion, because it means you’ll have to work under an abusive boss.

It’s fine to worry about the future. You’ll face your fears eventually and then conquer them then. But if you feel like you can’t stand alone, reach out to a therapist or a trusted friend.

You have to heal from the past so you can face the future.

 8) Your current partner isn’t the one

Now this doesn’t necessarily mean your ex is actually the one for you, especially if your breakup was a massive trash fire.

Take this to mean that your brain is telling you that you’re better off with your ex than you are with your current partner.

Take this opportunity to scrutinize your relationship. Perhaps you’ve had an uneasy feeling that you can’t quite pin down, or have been ignoring all this time.

Perhaps it just doesn’t feel right even if everything looks good on paper.

Try to list out both the things that work in your relationship, as well as the things that don’t. Try to ask yourself if you can see a future with you and your current partner… or if you see nothing but a fling.

And once you’ve figured yourself out, decide on how long you’re willing to continue your relationship.

9) You’re still processing your breakup

And yes, this is still a possibility, even if your breakup was a whole year ago, and even if you’re the one who broke up with them.

It takes a while to get over something like that, and some of the people I know took around two years or more to heal completely. Some don’t even recover at all.

Perhaps, to some extent, you think that they’re still yours and that you can’t help but wonder where your relationship went wrong.

Again, reach out to people or write a journal. Venting to someone you can trust can help you heal. Sometimes simply being heard goes a long way to helping you deal with loss.

10) You feel a little lost in life

Another very real possibility is that you yourself simply feel a little lost in life.

Sometimes this just happens when we really don’t know where our lives are headed. We look back to know where we want to go. We try to analyze where it went wrong, and where we went right.

Perhaps their time with you was a time when your life had actual direction—a time when you had actual plans and goals you looked forward to achieving.

And all of that fell apart after their breakup for one reason or another.

When this is the case, you will want to focus more on yourself apart from your relationships. What is it that you really want? What if you’ll be single forever—what kind of life do you really want to lead?

Remove them from the equation and focus on yourself instead. A partner—not even your ex—can make your life fulfilling. You have to give it to yourself.

Last words

 Dreams are hard to decode.

There are many possible reasons why you’re dreaming of getting back together with your ex, and not all of them are necessarily romantic.

And even then, they don’t necessarily mean that you and your ex are meant to be together… so don’t jump the shark!

You will want to think about such things as the circumstances you’re in, what your relationship with your ex was like, and even how you feel about your dreams.
