I had a dream where i was running away from an ex

twice in fact. In my dreams i see him and he sees me. he approaches me and i turn around and run. he follows and i look for places to hide. He broke my heart. What could this mean?

i looked at the themes of your dream using a dreams dictionary online and this is what came up:

Ex-To dream that your ex-boyfriend or ex-girlfriend is missing you, suggests that you "miss" some aspect of that past relationship. A situation in your current life may be reminding you of your relationship with your ex. Alternatively, the dream may mean that you have moved on with your life. The notion that your ex is missing you may be a pun on that he has "missed" his opportunity or "missed" his chance with you.

Hiding-To dream that you are hiding, suggests that you are keeping some secret or withholding some information. You may not be facing up to a situation or dealing with some issue. However, you may be getting ready to reveal something and confess before somebody finds out. In particular, to dream that you are hiding from some authority figure (police, parent, teacher...), implies feelings of guilt.

Running-To dream that you are running away from someone, indicates an issue that you are trying to avoid. You are not taking or accepting responsibility for your actions. In particular, if you are running from an attacker or any danger, then it suggests that you are not facing and confronting your fears.

this must be very significant if you've had the dream more than once. does any of the analysis relate to you?

that is an excellent website, by the way. i find the website a little better than my actual books, because it's quicker and more concise, but dream themes rarely differ from source to source, really.

i'm massively into the psychology of dreams, and of course the spirituality behind them. carl jung is one theorist who merges the two angles...has amazing theories on dreams. he believes humans have an ego-which is our outward sense of self; and then a counterego, or, shadow-that which is the parts of our psyche we aren't comfortable with...'the uncultured, primitive and awkward'.

so for jung, when we dream we create a 'window to the unconscious, and serve to guide our waking selves'. nothing else i've read echoes my feelings on the subject like jung, so sorry for paraphrasing so much, but this guy wraps it all up for me.

i don't think it's possible that you don't dream, more than likely you don't recall them/they aren't very vivid...apparently you can train yourself to recall them...

sleep with your eyes open

I dont know why i would run away from my ex. He did break up with me, and i feel that he was influenced because of our age difference. But I would of still talked to him on a friendly basis. The only thing i can think of as to why i would run and hide is to not hook up with him again because of fear of getting my heart broken again. We have broken up before so maybe I am thinking not to take another chance because we will most likely break up again.

You still love him but your inner self knows this relationship is no good for you, that is why you hide. Your emotions of him have to leave your emotional department. Best way to do that is by getting another love to occupy that space.

se to have the same dreams about both my ex's. The first one told me there wouldn't be a divorce, there would be a shotgun... and the second one I found had ties to Putin... so I was terrified. It was to a point that these nightmares were effecting my daily activities and I knew I needed to stop it. Then one night, aware in my dreams, I decided I wasn't going to run and would fight if needed. The second one came up to me and told me I was more beautiful then he remembered and poof... he gone and not another nightmare about either of them since.

*** Use to *** ...no idea where the "U" went to.
