Nobody envisioned 2020 to turn out the way it has currently turned out. When the Coronavirus was first reported in Wuhan, China, nobody expected it to become a global pandemic. Many of us have gone into a state of distress during these times and hence, sometimes our imagination starts to go wild. It’s perfectly alright to have a few weird dreams about your ex during this time. Even if you are in a happy relationship, there’s something wrong with having the occasional dream about an ex. Here are some weird dreams you might have had involving an ex during this lockdown
- The “Are You Following Me?”
Let’s be real. Nobody likes to be followed. Even if it is by a devilishly good looking ex. Even if you have dreams where you feel like your ex-partner is stalking you, it doesn’t mean you should get on your phone and contact them again. We assure you, they definitely aren’t following you in real life. If you find yourself running away from your ex in your dreams, it might be a sign that you are running away from commitment. However, it’s best to not get in touch with a toxic ex during times of crisis like this.
- The “Omg, He’s Dead!”
Surely, a lot of us have wished for our exes to just disappear off the face of the planet at some point (jk). A lot of people believe that dreaming about the death of an ex might be a positive sign. It might be a sign that you are letting go of that phase of your life. Especially if you and your partner had a tumultuous relationship with each other.
- The “Why Are You Here?”
It’s understandable to have dreams of bumping into an ex. Especially after a split, when the wounds are still fresh. It’s important to remember that this doesn’t mean you will bump into them in real life. Especially during the time of Coronavirus. If you live close to where your ex does and tend to visit the same places, it is best to avoid them during this time. If you dream about this after a long duration, it may mean that you might be looking for closure.
- The “Damn, Are We Getting Married?”
As weird as a marriage dream is, that too is normal. Even if you and your ex-partner were together for a short duration of time. And although the dream might seem like a nightmare when you wake, don’t feel perplexed. If you’re single you’re probably just feeling lonely and are worried about the future. It’s okay to look back on supposedly happier days and reminisce. As long as you don’t let these thoughts consume your all your waking moments.
- The “Wait, We’re Back Together?”
This too can happen at any phase of your breakup. Sometimes you might feel like you’re over your ex but you suddenly have a dream about them and you wake up feeling confused. It might take you a while to remember you guys have split up and are no longer dating each other. If it’s been some time since you and your ex ended things, maybe they might have gotten in touch with you at some point and you might be having flashbacks to the times you spent together. Of course, this doesn’t mean you should act on your dream and try to re-enter their life. Remember, you broke up for a reason. It’s best to just let these dreams pass. Distract your mind with other pursuits.
- The “Um, What Is Happening?”
This is the weirdest of all dreams and may involve your ex coming back into your life in a weird manner. You might see your ex as a zombie or your ex might get married to your sibling or some other weird concept. Although these dreams can be an absolute nightmare, it’s totally normal for your imagination to run wild during the Coronavirus lockdown. We’re sure your ex might have had a few weird dreams of you turning into a ghost and haunting them as well (JK).
It’s totally normal to have a wild imagination during this time. Most of us have been locked up in our houses and trying to distance ourselves the best way we can. If you want to have fun, you can record these dreams in a dream journal and go through them once again at a later date. Don’t worry too much about having weird dreams. It’s a good idea to distract yourself with a good novel or a hobby like painting if you feel like you’re overthinking these things.
