💔 Why You Keep Dreaming About Your Ex

An ex in a dream is never just a person — it's a story that never finished writing.

These dreams can stir longing, regret, relief, or even guilt. But most of all, they ask: What part of this is still alive in you?

In Eastern thinking, the past lives quietly in our qi — not gone, just unintegrated.

In Western psychology, dreams of exes often reflect inner conflict, memory, or emotional patterns trying to resolve.

It's not always about them — sometimes, it's about you finding your own reflection.

🧭 The Many Faces of the Ex

☁ One Last Thought

To dream of your ex is not to dream of going back — it's often a dream about returning to yourself.

These dreams are not asking you to revisit the person, but to reclaim the part of you that loved, broke, grew, or changed.
