Hi guys,

I had a sex dream about my ex-boyfriend the other night - does this mean anything? I never even think about him any more and am totally in love with my boyfriend. Why did I dream about him??????

After dreaming about him, I didnt want him back or anything like that but it was really weird. Anyone have any idea what this could possibly mean??

Thanks

Okay, I suggest you actually find out some stuff about dreams before posting this, but now I have, so:

During REM (Rapid eye movement) sleep, researchers theorize that the brain goes through a process known as synaptic efficacy refreshment. This is observed as brain waves self-firing during sleep, in slow cycles at a rate of around 14Hz, and is believed to serve the purpose of consolidating recent memories and reinforcing old memories. In this type of brain stimulation, the dreaming that occurs is a by-product of the process.

What you make of a dream is in the end up to you, but remember that it is your sub-conciousness. What you do when you're awake is what actually matters.

Hope it helped.

Perfect reply above me.

Dreams don't actually "mean" anything unless you make them mean something. Once I dreamed about a cab-driver that served me a few years ago. We didn't even talk during the trip. What the hell does that guy mean to me? I haven't even thought about him since he drove me.

Of course, your situation is different. You have a history with your ex-boyfriend. However, you said it yourself: You love your boyfriend now and you've let go of your ex (if I understood it correctly). So this dream means NOTHING to you, unless YOU make a big deal out of it.

Don't think about it and keep living your life. If you think about this too much, don't be surprised if you dream of him again in the future.

Let it go and enjoy your life with your current boyfriend.

Wow thanks guys - I feel so much more relieved now!! I felt a little guilty about this even though I do not have any feelings for him at all anymore. The bit about reinforcing old memories is probably all it was. Thanks for the input - I now feel much better. =D

I know this is old but I had one of these happen to me the other night. I've grown pretty distant with my ex, we haven't talked in about 2 weeks and I don't know if we're going to break the silence or not, I don't plan on it really but that's not the point. I had a dream that she was in my arms and kissing me and saying a bunch of stuff to the tune of "she didn't mean it", or like she was admitting to playing games with me and she really loved me or something like that. Honestly I liked the dream, but I knew it was total bullshit soon after I woke up. Its crazy how you try and put stuff behind you and here it comes right back, unconsciously, because the brain is reinforcing old memories. I wonder if we can ever escape it? Will I have a dream about her again a year or 5 years from now even if we cut off contact? An eerie thought... Makes you wonder if you've had the same effect on them.

i don't know you well enough to fully analyze this... but

according to Sigmund Freud's book of The Interpretation of Dreams, a dream is the fulfillment of a subconscious wish.. and the fact that you remembered it could mean something.

ask yourself,

am i having current relationship problems with my bf?

is my sex life good?

etc.

if you're happy the way you are, then good for you, its only your subconscious mind talking.
