Dream about an ex-boyfriend

An ex-boyfriend in a dream is the presence of the one who was promised to you before your current life was settled. This symbol stands for the part of your own history that remains unfinished or unexamined.

The dream brings up an old way of standing in the world. You are looking at how you used to move through your days before the current shape of things took hold. This is a time of seeing what remains of an old account. I sometimes look at an old map just to see where the roads used to go. It is a way of seeing how much you have grown.

Getting back with an ex-boyfriend in a dream suggests a healing of a division that once caused you grief. This mending of what was broken feels like pulling a thread through a tear in a well-used cloth.

When you see a missing ex-boyfriend or a dead ex-boyfriend, the dream shows that a certain chapter is truly finished. The absence of the person signifies that the debt is closed and the connection has reached its final end.

Kissing an ex-boyfriend makes the encounter feel like an old argument has suddenly found its breath again. This touch brings a spark of what was once lived, often to show that a disagreement is still breathing.

In the dream where you are living with an ex-boyfriend, the past sits in the middle of your current life. This brings an old way of being into your immediate sight, as if the person you were then is still sharing your space.
