thoughts?

thepassionateflower profile image

about a week or so before my ex broke up with me i was having recurring dreams of it happening. now after we’ve been apart for a little over a month i keep having dreams that we get back together.

what does any of that mean, if anything? i’m just curious to hear other opinions.

Hi hi!

You are not alone. I can similarly relate. When I ended my relationship with my ex, I kept myself busy since I was in school but had dreams about being with him.

I’m on summer break and I found like not too long my ex already found someone new and while I ended it for my well-being I was still hurt that he moved on so quickly (and yet I would have dreams or thoughts about being with him).

It’s okay to take it in because breakups are not easy. I realized my dreams of my ex are the most idealistic scenarios. But when I think of what realistically happened, there were soooo many flaws in that relationship which makes me feel better about my choice.

I’ve been working out like crazy and focusing on my physical health has helped me to prioritize and improve my other areas (but still working on my mental health especially my breakdowns and anxiety).

Again this is based off of my experiences.

I’d say that you haven’t gotten over your ex and your mind is subconsciously still hoping that the situation will change. These things to take time to recover from and it is very hard to get over them. My advice would be to just look after yourself and try to keep as busy as possible. Sounds very clique but perhaps a new hobby will help?

All the best! x

i agree w/ some of the other comments, you aren't over him. it happens to the best of us. maybe you should set some boundaries and try to move on. when i got out of a serious relationship, I found that i was thinking about him too much, and there were a few things around me that reminded me of him; like we always left the window open when we were together. it was just something small like that that set off a dream of him. so look out for things that remind you of them that may still be around.

But, you've got all of us in the comments to back you up if you need the help and we are here to support you if you need it otherwise. thank you for reaching out, hopefully we can give you the help you desire. Xx
