I was with my ex husband (a total stranger in real life) and he had money, he was traveling, he had the kids, he seemed successful and I was not in their life. He wanted us to get back together but it was complicated. But I know I missed him in the dream and I wanted to be with him and my pride was getting in the way
Dreams are complex and can have various interpretations depending on the dreamer's personal experiences and emotions. In this dream scenario, it seems to reflect unresolved feelings and reflections on past relationships and the concept of success.
The presence of your ex-husband symbolizes a part of your past that is still significant to you. His portrayal as successful and seemingly happy in the dream could represent feelings of admiration or longing for a life that once was. The fact that he has the kids in the dream may represent aspects of family and responsibility that are still on your mind.
The feelings of missing him and wanting to be with him in the dream, despite complications and struggles, could indicate a desire for reconciliation or closure in some aspect of your past relationship. Your pride getting in the way suggests internal conflict or struggles with vulnerability and expressing your true feelings.
Overall, this dream may be urging you to reflect on your past relationships, to acknowledge your feelings and desires, and to consider how your pride or ego may be impacting your ability to move forward or seek resolution. It might be helpful to explore these emotions further and consider what aspects of your past relationships are still affecting you in your present life.
