my ex and i were going to an amusement park. the way to it was basically a really steep staircase. he carried me up it piggy back. he would’ve never done any of this in real life
Dreams about ex-partners can often reflect unresolved feelings or aspects of past relationships. In your dream, the amusement park symbolizes a place of fun, excitement, and perhaps a desire for joy or carefree experiences. The fact that you and your ex are going there together indicates a longing for connection or positive memories from the past.
The steep staircase represents challenges or obstacles you might be facing in your life currently. Your ex carrying you up the staircase piggyback suggests a desire for support and care, which may have been lacking in your previous relationship. This action may also symbolize a need for assistance in overcoming difficulties or a yearning for a relationship where you feel more supported.
Since he wouldn't have done this in real life, this aspect of the dream could illustrate your wishes or fantasies about how you would have liked your relationship to be, or perhaps it reflects a desire for someone to take on a caring or protective role in your life.
Overall, this dream could be a mixture of nostalgia, reflection on past relationships, and a deep-seated need for emotional support and connection in your current life. It might be worthwhile to consider how these themes resonate with your present circumstances and emotional state.
