A female United States age , anonymous writes:

Why am I dreaming about an ex-lover coming back to me, and I willing go with him ? I am married almost 37 years to my husband. I do love him, but maybe not like I loved this past lover. My ex is also married, but I don't know anything more about his married life. I don't want to dream about my ex, but there were so many things that were right with him, and I don't have that with my current husband. I have tried so many times over the years to get over him, but maybe I am still in love with him. I don't want to be. No, my marriage is not perfect, but I do love my husband. We have two adult sons, and a grand daughter. Help !!

Thank you for your answer. I just got upset for dreaming about this guy, and I didn't know why I would even dream about him.

llifton agony auntWell, I cannot speak for the tone of your dream, nor know how it felt. However, having dreams of past lovers doesn't always equate with wishing to rekindle or that you're not over them. Often times, it is your brains way of referencing a specific time period in your life. It is a measure of the things going on in your life during that time frame.

For example, dreaming about an ex of 37 years ago could be reflective of your age back then and what all you were experiencing during that time in your life. As the previous poster stated, it could be symbolic of a time when you were younger and things were much simpler and easier. It doesn't necessarily mean that you want your ex back, just that he is the gauge or measurement of time.

I like your answer to my question. There are some things going on that I don't want to be in, and they are with my husband. Don't get me wrong, I am very much in love with him, but I am also at a point in my life where I am not romantically interested some times. Yes time were much easier for me back in those days. But the guy dumped me, so there is no way I want to be with him now. Thanks so much !

Aunty BimBim agony auntDreaming of an old boyfriend, or ex lover does not necessarily mean that you are still in love with them and not your current partner (or husband).

There are two possible reasons, firstly, it could simply be that you are harking back to a time where your life was a lot easier, when we were younger and not looking down the barrel at old age and retirement and all the changes that will bring.

The second interpretation could be a warning that you are in a situation that you don't want to be in, that there is something happening that makes you feel uncomfortable or unhappy.

I hope this helps. :)
