Dreaming About an Ex You Don’t Talk to Anymore: 9 Meanings  

Do you still dream about your ex? This is a common question that many people wonder why it happens, especially if it occurs often. 

I’ve dreamt about my ex occasionally, and sometimes I fought him because he just walked away. Wasn’t I good enough for him? What did I lack? 

I could ask myself the same question repeatedly until one day, I decided it was enough. I needed to move on. So what did I do? Read on to find out.

In this article, I’ll tell you 9 meanings of dreaming about an ex you don’t talk to anymore.

Why am I dreaming about my ex? 

You’re dreaming about your ex because you’ve not fully moved on. You’re not over them.

That’s weird, but it’s true, especially if your feelings for them remain intact. They appear in dreams because your dream replicates reality. 

It could also mean you are lonely. According to physiotherapists, feeling lonely and missing your ex is normal.

But, in reality, it’s not because you want to reconcile and continue your relationship; you’re just looking back to moments when you were not alone. 

Another reason could be that your ex was abusive.

Yes, the repetitive scenes from such relationships mean you haven’t found closure from that relationship.

The wounds and pains they inflicted on you will keep troubling you. That doesn’t mean those who’ve moved do not dream about their exes. 

Other reasons could be:

• You feel dissatisfied in your new relationship-emotionally;
• You have unfinished business with yourself;
• You are finally over them;
• Your ex represents a different element in your life.

While dreaming about your ex seems odd, there is always a reason behind it.

To understand such dreams, consider your current feelings towards them and the associated memories.

Dreaming about an ex you don’t talk to could be a spiritual sign. It could represent what you’re missing about them or something unique that they meant to you.

Even if you haven’t talked in 20 years, it’s normal to dream about them.

Spiritually, both of you are connected. You share something in common, whether negative or positive that is why any dream channeled in that direction will bring them up.

It’s also possible in your current relationship, you’re yet to experience what you shared before. You miss them. 

Well, all this is normal, but dreams are just symbolic. Looking at the bigger picture, it could be just about you.

9 Spiritual meanings of dreaming about an ex you don’t talk to anymore 

1) You’ve unresolved feelings

Well, this is so common and normal. When you have these unresolved feelings, it doesn’t necessarily mean you still have romantic feelings toward your ex. 

You may be trying to solve and fix what happened between the both of you in your mind. You may still have no answer on how your relationship ended.

• Whose fault was it?
• What led to the breakup?
• What does this mean for you?

All this is unresolved, and you need to find answers.

This could also mean you need to have closures with other relationships like a friend, colleague, or family member.

It can be difficult to have closures in past relationships, but you have to. 

If you don’t know how to go about it, you can talk with a psychic on the same. A psychic can interpret and guide you to resolve unresolved feelings. 

2) You regret losing your ex

Maybe you’re still grieving or heartbroken about the breakup. Not all breakups end negatively.

Some relationships end because both parties end it for their own good. If that is the case, it could be you’re feeling guilty for heartbreaking the other person.

In this state, give yourself time to heal and grieve. Try to figure out what went wrong in your relationship.

That’s the only way to heal and move on. This strategy will help you move on , this is what I did:

• Make your free time all about you — pamper yourself to the maximum;
• Accept it’s over to open doors for new beginnings;
• Take it as a lesson and focus on what you value;
• Connect with yourself;
• Express your feelings and emotions with your support system.

3) You easily get annoyed with others

If you go to sleep because a friend, coworker, or partner annoyed you, which could be the reason your ex appeared in your dream.

Your subconscious was hurt, but you tried to ignore it. It responds to your dreams. 

Sometimes, dreaming about your ex is because of the negativity you experienced. 

4) You still love them

Spiritually, when you love someone or have romantic feelings toward them, you can dream about them.

You may not be talking for years now, but your feelings towards them never left. There is still a place for them in your heart. 

There is also a good chance that dreaming about your ex is not about them but more about you.

Whatever happens in the dream doesn’t necessarily mean what you do with your ex. It’s about you.

5) You have not forgiven them

If you did not forgive your ex for breaking your heart, this could be another reason for dreaming about them.

Maybe you’re still hurt by how you were treated, yet you sacrificed a lot in the relationship.

If that dream makes you resentful and angered, you have not forgiven them. So, it’s only through the dream that the universe tries to tell you to forgive and move on. 

If you don’t forgive your ex, you won’t move on completely.

If you move on without forgiving, the person in your next relationship may similarly hurt you, like your ex. 

Unless you forgive and learn from your past experience, you’ll still experience the same but with a different person this round.

6) They’re thinking about you

Another reason you’re dreaming about your ex, whom you haven’t talked to for years, is they are thinking about you.

If you both have been in a relationship for years, you have bonded with each other.

There is an energetic and spiritual connection between the two of you.

So, whenever they think about you, you have an energetic connection. This happens if there are unresolved issues that they find difficult to resolve. 

7) You miss a part of yourself in the new relationship

You could be missing something about your life that only your ex did for you, and that’s why you dream about them.

It could be reminding you of a version of yourself that you miss. 

This commonly happens if you are not happy, energetic, or determined as before. In that case, your subconscious mind associates it with that version of yourself.

Just reconnect with your inner self to find that version you miss. 

8) You need closure

Maybe you have not found the closure to move on with your life and find happiness again. The reason could be that your ex left unexpectedly without any explanation. 

Whatever the case, you’ll still feel what they did was unfair to you.

There are those things you always wish to tell them to find peace, but you didn’t get that chance. 

So, to find closure, you need to talk to your ex. Even if you lost their contacts, try and find them and let them know what you felt and thought. 

9) You’re not happy in the new relationship

If you’re unhappy in your new relationship, this is another reason to dream about your ex.

You may be feeling lonely or have no connection with your partner. The last person you had a good connection with was your ex. 

In this case, your subconscious mind is repeating the scenes when you weren’t lonely.

That dream is to help you realize what relationship suits you well. This will bring happiness back to your life.

When I dream about my ex, is he thinking about me? 

It’s possible he’s also thinking about you. But remember, dreams are symbolic, so you should focus on the symbolic meaning of that dream.

When you dream, your mind is subconscious; therefore, you can pick something symbolic in your life for the best representation.

But why would it pick your ex?

You’ve not found closure; that’s it. You both had a stronger connection to each other, and such bonds are difficult to break.

Maybe they were the first person in your life to be in a romantic relationship with. You even had a child together. That bond is so difficult to break. 

So when you dream about them, they could also be thinking about you deeply because of the connection you had.

Another good reason could be that you still love him. When you dream about him, you are hopeful that he will return to your life one day. 

Some dreams about your ex can be so positive that you’ll not understand what it means. Sometimes you feel lonely, shattered, hopeless, and stressed, but they come and comfort you.

“It’ll be alright” in your dreams. That’s another way the universe is telling you everything will be fine.

Is this dream a spiritual sign? 

Yes, dreaming about your ex is a spiritual sign.

You are dreaming about them, maybe because you are afraid of change, you’ve unresolved issues, you feel sad or guilty, or the universe is trying to get the both of you back together. 

Spiritually, both of you have a strong spiritual connection. It could be you’re spiritually bonded, so the dream is always popping.

Those dreams could also be the only way the both of you communicate.

Interestingly, your ex could also be your soulmate spiritually. We call it predestined soul contacts.

So, whatever dream you could be having about them, it’s because of the profound spiritual affinity the both of you share. 

What is the spiritual meaning?

• Your subconscious mind is telling you to let go;
• The universe is trying to bring you and your ex together;
• The dream is about you than your ex;
• You’re afraid of being heartbroken again;
• You both have unresolved guilt;
• Your ex misses you;
• The universe is preparing you for their return in your life in a different event.

No matter the type of dream you have about your ex, they are just symbolic, not literal. 

Final Words 

While dreaming about your ex can be spiritual, always try to find its symbolic meaning.

Most of the time, we’re afraid to let go or start again, and we find ourselves in the same subconscious state. 

The bottom line is whether you long for your ex’s presence or miss their companionship, it’s best to explore these emotions and not allow them to kill you inside.

Holding on to past relationships doesn’t contribute to your happiness at present.
