i always have a dream where my ex is there, but he doesnt get involved in my dream. He stays behind, like i will only be able to sense that he is there nearby. I have never seen his face in any of these dreams or never had direct encounter with him
Dreams about an ex-partner can symbolize unresolved feelings or issues from that past relationship. In this case, the fact that your ex is present but not directly involved could suggest that there are lingering emotions or thoughts about the relationship that you have not fully processed or dealt with. The inability to see his face or have direct contact may indicate a sense of mystery or unknown elements related to this past connection.
The fact that he stays behind and you can only sense his presence nearby could suggest that these unresolved feelings are still lingering in your subconscious mind, even if you are not actively thinking about him in your waking life. It may be beneficial to reflect on your feelings about the past relationship and consider whether there are any emotions or issues that you need to address in order to move forward in a positive and healthy way.
