Experts Opinion
According to Dr. Nereida Gonzalez-Berrios, MD, reviewer and certified psychiatrist, people see dreams of their ex because of repressed wishes, memories that are hard to forget, and also due to unresolved conflicts.
She adds, “sometimes a dream represents certain broken parts of yourself that need emotional healing. Besides, the most obvious answer to dreaming about an ex is that you still love them, miss them or wish to rekindle the lost love.”
