My ex boyfriend who passed away 8 months after I started dating my husband, came to me in a dream this morning before I woke up. We were on vacation somewhere beachy (we were sitting side by side in a nice room but the view was a beach) and he told me he loved me and wanted me to be happy. He wasn’t upset or hurt but he truly wanted the best for me. I told him I could never love anyone as much as him and I couldn’t let him go and nothing would ever compare to him. At some point I hugged him, like straddled him to hug him, and he just held me. I could smell him and I breathed him in. The longer we stayed like that I could feel his breath in my hair. We ended up kissing, it turned passionate and then we made love.
Dreams about deceased loved ones can be symbolic of unresolved emotions or a lingering connection with the person who has passed. In this dream, the presence of your ex-boyfriend could represent unfinished emotional business or a sense of longing for the connection you once had with him. The beachy vacation setting could symbolize a desire for peace, relaxation, and emotional healing.
The fact that your ex-boyfriend expressed his love and desire for your happiness could suggest that you may still be carrying feelings of guilt or loyalty towards him. Your response indicating that you could never love anyone else as much as him and that nothing would compare to him could reflect a fear of fully moving on and committing to your current relationship.
The physical intimacy and passionate encounter with your ex-boyfriend in the dream may symbolize a desire for emotional closeness and connection. It could also reflect a need to process your feelings of loss and grief surrounding his passing.
Overall, this dream may be prompting you to explore your feelings about the past, your current relationship, and your emotional attachments. It could be beneficial to reflect on your emotions, acknowledge any unresolved feelings, and consider seeking support or counseling to work through these complex emotions.
