“… and that my friend is what they call closure.” – Rachel from Friends
After a breakup it might be normal for you to have a dream about an ex. But what if it’s long after you moved on, or so you thought. Turns out it is normal and the dream about an ex could mean something deeper.
Dr. Jenn Mann who is a marriage and family therapist is sheading some light on the subject. While no it doesn’t mean you are unhappy with person you are with now. Dreams tend to be a little bit more complicated. There are some common reasons behind the dreams:
You’re Mourning The Loss Of The Relationship: The breakup might of been a good thing. But if you didn’t grieve the loss while you are awake you could be doing it while sleeping.
You’re Merging Lessons You Learned From Your Past Relationships Into Your New One: Dreaming about someone you once loved could be a way of helping you take those lessons from your past relationship into your new one. That you are evolving and growing.
Your Ex Represents Something Else Significant: This could be a sign that you need to deal with something more.
You Need Closure: That you weren’t at peace with how things ended. Now that doesn’t mean you need to call or text them but maybe your dream gave you that closure feeling.
