dreams help: I had a dream of an ex-boyfriend who I haven’t spoke or seen in about 7 years.. - Help.com

Probably thinking too deep into it. Its likely to be nothing. I could tell u the 2 main theories to what dreams mean if u want me to.

please do..

Hobsons theory is that dreams are a resault of random firing of brain signals as u sleep. Your brain tries to make sense of these random messages by putting them into images and sounds the best it can. Freuds theory is that your dreams reflect your subconscious desires and worries and regardless of how abstract they may seem they mean something.
Dreaming about someone from 7 years ago most likely doesnt mean anything, what do you think your dreams mean?

I don’t really dream, well as far as I’m aware of. Thats why I started thinking hard about it. I’m not sure what they mean to me. Just the whole concept of him popping up in my dream wierded me out. I haven’t seen or talked or even thought about him in years so why is he all the sudden there?

Ok I used to be in dream analysis class back in high school years ago but I’m sort of into a realists point of view for dreams… I also believe in precog… precognitive dreams. I believe there is a chance that you may run into your ex sometime in the near future, I’m not going to go into the it’s a small world lecture.
It could be one thing about your past in your subconcious mind that is bothering you, something that was said or done, something you could possibly want.
As crazy as it sounds think about it was your relationship good or bad did you have closure or not, but what it all boils down to is something you don’t even know you are not. As for the post before mine about getting married that too is also a possibility. Should you get married, there may be something else out there that you might want and the ex is familiar territory so he pops up in place of said mystery man…
But by no means should you dump your fiance’ unless you aren’t happy but you said you love him so just pass the dream off unless you really do run into him… if you do then you may want to actually pay attention to your dreams when you do dream.

Your in a relationship and maybe your just recollecting all those other past relationships, doesnt mean it means anything. I could be eating peanut butter non stop for a month and start dreaming about giant peanuts, it doesnt mean im in love with the peanut or want the peanut, but its a peanut and i eat peanut butter they have something in common so my brain might just dream up wierd things about peanut butter and things similar. Wierd analogy.

Okay that makes sense! I was trying to get some type of answer so I’d stop pondering about it and figure it out a bit.. thanks you two!

I’m glad I could give a little input and help. :) I hope that things are going a little better at night and your mind is a little more at ease.
