16. Frequent fights with current partner
Do you feel that you and your present partner are not on good terms at all? You people are fighting more than usual these days. Your current partner is fault-finding all the time that your ex never did.
Do you miss them now, when everything is over? When you are fighting a lot with your present partner, you may feel that your ex was far better than him/her.
Your brain starts its evaluating process and you may think that grass is greener on the other side. This can bring back old memories on the surface and you may start dreaming about an ex.
If you frequently see your ex-partner in your Facebook feed or Instagram stories, you may start reliving old memories in waking life. This can even pass into the dream state, if too much priority is given.
You are interested to know about their current life status, how do they look now? Or where do they live? And many more.

This hidden desire can bring residues of longing in the subconscious mind and you may start seeing them in dreams.
22. Your ex is a mere habit for you
Since you and your ex were in a relationship for a long time, it might be that you people were used to each other. You shared common hobbies, food habits, music, movies and many more such things.
So after a breakup you took time to readjust to a life without him/her. That is why your mind wants to remember those past memories too often.
It usually happens if the breakup is recent and you have not been able to come out of it. Your subconscious mind still feels the loss and shows up too often.

25. Rumination
Rumination means to constantly think, ponder, and get tied up in a spiral of negative thoughts that are intrusive, disturbing, and induce anxiety and fear.
If you are constantly thinking about the person in waking life and you have not yet come out of the breakup emotionally, you may have recurring ex dreams.
It’s because your subconscious is processing the negative and racing thoughts and the negative emotions attached with it and starts showing up in dreams.
You will always remain preoccupied with their thoughts and may feel stuck and confined in unhappiness and hopelessness.
26. The resentment and agonies rules your heart
When you harbor a lot of negative feelings in you about your previous relationship, it’s quite obvious that your ex may appear in dreams frequently.
If the past relationship was toxic with a lot of verbal and physical abuse, fights and squabbling then the degree of agony and resentment will be much more. You are broken from within and still feel the pain deep within.
Thus you are resentful towards your ex. Your ex symbolizes a toxic past that left deep cuts and wounds, difficult to be cleansed and healed easily.
If resentments stay in you for a long time, it will rob your inner peace. It makes you anxious in waking life. All these negative emotions find a place in dreams.
27. Codependency
If you had a codependent relationship with your ex, they may show up in your dreams quite frequently. This happens because you couldn’t even think of a life without them.
You miss them because you may think that nobody can give you that much emotional closeness and intimate attachment feeling other than them.
This makes it impossible for you to get into new relationships and even if you get hooked to someone in real life, your relationship may show signs of maladjustment pretty soon. You will always compare your present partner with your ex.
Codependent relationships are needy and jealous and thus it causes a lot of emotional problems in waking life. Your present partner may soon understand you and leave you.
