Dreaming of Having Sex with Your Ex – General Interpretations

To have sex with your ex in dreams may imply your feelings for them, changing priorities, or your doubts about a new relationship. It might also reassure you about your life choices or warn you about your actions.

Hooking up with your ex is the worst thing you can do to yourself in reality. Despite how good it feels momentary, it resurfaces all the insecurities in you later.

Further, people assume such dreams only mean you have feelings for them… but that’s not necessarily true. So, what’s the reality? Here it goes…

1. It’s symbolic of changing priorities

If the sex in your dreams felt different from what it really was, it symbolizes the change in your priorities. You know what you’re worth and won’t settle for less.

2. It’s your feelings for your ex

You may have such dreams if you recently broke up and you’re ready to do anything to get back together. This dream then implies healing yourself instead of wasting your time on them.

Alternatively, if you’re over them in reality, it means you’re in terms of the separation and don’t regret anything.

3. You’re unsure about your current relationship

If you want to start dating or get married and you have such dreams, this might imply you are confused and need more time to adjust to change. It’s better to avoid jumping into romantic or sexual connections as you might compare your new partner with your ex.

4. Your best life is about to begin

Such dreams sometimes mean breaking up with your ex was the best choice of your life. They were a negative influence on you and you’ll prosper without them. It might even mean that you’ll find a better partner as you heal.

5. It refers to a current life situation

Possibly, in your past relationship, you acted a certain way which spoiled the relationship. Your dream shows that you’re repeating it all over in your personal or professional life. This might soon get you in trouble, so beware.

Psychological Meaning of Sex with Ex Dreams

Psychologically, sex with your ex dreams highlights common toxic patterns in your current relationship that triggered your memories, you want to feel the thrill and safety of first love, or you’re not over your ex.

As per dream analyst Loewenberg, sex with an ex in dreams might imply you noticed a similar toxic pattern in your current relationship with your last one. You want your new partner to change.

If the ex is your first love, such dreams mean you feel unwanted and insecure. You want to experience the thrill of your first love all over. But you may or may not be in love with that ex.

Alternatively, it means you feel sorry and regretful about your breakup and hope to fix your situation. Probably, you loved them with everything you had and they still left you. This still hurts you deep within.

Questions to ask yourself to interpret sex with your ex dreams correctly

Loewenberg always recommends writing down the incidents, actions, and feelings after having such dreams. She also framed some special questions to understand your dreams and their messages better through these questions…

1. What’s the highlight of your relationship with that ex?

2. Do you notice anything common in your current relationship with the past one?

3. Did you learn anything from the past relationship that you must use in the current one?

4. Did your actions or feelings in the dream seem familiar with something you did recently?

5. Does your emotions in the dream for your ex relate to your feelings for your current life or relationship?

A word from ThePleasantDream

Never assume that the reflection of your ex in your dreams means that your relationship with them was true love and the current one isn’t… unless you have strong proof to back such statements.

Your ex is a lesson in your life and if either or both of you moved on… don’t dwell on thoughts about reconciling with them.

Instead, find the deeper meanings and work to improve your life. If you feel love-sick, remember that there are plenty of fish in the sea… just wait for the right person and time.
