Why do I have dreams about my ex?

It was my daughter's father and he was a good man. But was too much of a workaholic and alcoholic and was never home. I finally have found my soul mate and love my new husband very much, but why do I have dreams about my ex?

Are these dreams romantic? If so,is it your heart saying you still love him? If the dreams are not romantic it may be a sign that you have unresolved issues, maybe about your daughter? i hope the dreams stop soon. Take Care.

Maybe the dreams are a sign that you want your ex in your life more just not romantically.

I can't really remember the dreams like that. I just know it was about him and it should be about my husband. It was nothing scary or dangerous, I like to think it was the feeling I was wanting to have with my old husband. The closeness and togetherness. True soul mates.

I don't really think so, because I left him because I was young and he was older and I wanted more excitement in my life. But he did take care of me well and was good to me. But not as good as my husband now.

They say, the first cut is the deepest. That was the man you first seriously got involved with, he is the father of your daughter, there good times you had with him that you simply can not brush away! He may have had his failings, but those good moments will always live in your psyche, probably in his too. But having said that, i want to urge you to concentrate your mental resources in building your love life with your new man. You cannot afford to be thinking and dreaming about a man out of your life, one night you will call his name fondly in a dream and in the hearing of you current soul mate and then hell wll be let lose over your relatonship! Put all issues about your ex in a shelf!

Since you are the last response in this catagory I will leave well enough alone. And take your advice, but I will call my daughter and see if she offers any information on her father. That would be terrible to call another man's name to my husband, he wouldn't find any humor in it what so ever, believe that.

I think in my opinion, you might still have some feelings for your ex. This is the fact that you were married to him before and bore his child. Somehow, if you've parted on good terms, there is a tendency for us not to forget that person. I think it's perfectly ok. It's just a dream..... :

Very cute picture. Yes, we did part on good terms and child custody wasn't a issue. Maybe because it was my first true love and I was wanting the relationship that I have now to be that.

maybe your dream is trying to tell you something. why don't you drop him a call and find out how he's doing? anyway, he's your daughter's father.

His new wife is not to hip. But I will try my daughter she is not far from him.

it is quite normal that you are feeling for your ex. Forgeting the old relationships are not so easy. Even after we involve into a new relationship, our old ones remains in our mind. But as times will pass by I think you will forget slowly about your ex and find that you are dreaming less about him. One thing I am adding here that there is nothing wrong in it. Do not strain your mind about forgetting your ex. Then you will never be able to forget him. Every person has some positive and negative sides, so as you are separated, there is no point by thinking your ex-partners positive sides now, rather concentrate on your new husband's good sides. I wish your new happy relationship be happy!!

I know you didn't know how long it's been. But it has been 20 years since we where together. And I've just started dreaming about him. I don't have dreams about my husband of 3 years.

The reason I had ask the question, was because someone said today that I still had feelings for him, well yes I still do because he is my daughter's father, that some how I was still connected to him emotionally, and that something had happened to him in someway. I won't make that long distance call now.

The same thing happened to me for the longest time. And occasionally I will dream about my EX but once I figured out what the dreams were about they stopped. In my dreams my ex would morph into my current husband. This told me that I must realize that I have a much better man than I had before. But I also realize they have a couple of similarities. Once I realized this message the dreams stopped. If you can figure out what the dreams are trying to tell you, maybe you will stop having them.

As I said in the previous reply, someone has told me that I was still connected to him somehow and that something had happened to him. I will probably just call my daughter and see if she up's the information.
