Just wondering if you think its normal to have dreams about ex's while your dating/in a relationship with someone else?
I only dream about my exes when I'm in between relationships. Which is all the time.
It would be weird if you didn't, be reassured. The process of dreaming has a logic that is quite difficult to understand. Sometimes even the most trifling detail can make us dream of an ex. Something that smelled like her perfume, a dress that she used to wear, a quote from a movie you both like... anything able to establish a connection with the way you lived this relation. It happens to everyone and it doesn't mean anything bad.
This is weird because I just had one of mine last night. While I do know it is normal to dream about ex's from time to time or people in your past, I do not know the reasoning for it. My dream was just a quick moment of her. I was holding her by the waist and she was going to kiss me and I was resisting a bit because I was also thinking of my current girlfriend and the dream just jumped to another scene and all is lost lol.
I tend to do this while I'm the one in a relationship. It really sucks because I'm not interested in them at all anymore, in yet my mind brings them forth while I'm unconscious and I wake up wondering if it was real or not.
It's not fun when you can't differentiate the dreams world and the real world.
No. Of course it's not normal. That's why everyone who asks the same question is told it is, right? Honestly, these stories are boring lately.
Of course it is. An ex was probably a great time for you and anyone else for a long time, it just didn't last unfortunately. I still think about one of mine from time to time and unfortunately compare that time to a recent ex. It just so happens that the ex before the most recent one ended the relationship in the worst way so I'd never go back to her but it also happened to be the best one I've been in. Very unfortunate when I think about it. But thoughts or dreams is where it stays, there is no more room for that person anymore and I'd be glad to meet someone else.
I only have one ex that I dream about, but only rarely anymore. (And it's not really *him* per-say... only a disambiguation of his characteristics.) For example, sometimes he'll appear in my dream as a dark villain type or a dark acquaintance or even a companion. But he always has a certain darkness about him, because he's a gothic type person, even as an adult today. Tall, dark, pale, and creepy. I used to think he was hot, but now he's not.
Welp, that's enough repressed memory for one day.
Yeah, it's normal. I have recurrent dreams of a certain ex and I and it is usually either centered on the two of us going to college or unpacking an apartment together. I love my husband plenty, but I'd be lying if I said I never had a casual thought about any of my exes.
