The Ex-Boyfriend Reappearance

[xClaraX]

My boyfriend and I broke up 2 months ago and I havent dreamt of him until a week ago. we were in my living room on a futon and we started to have sex. he was going to fast so i told him to slow down. he pulled off my undies and i told him not to look. (i've always been afraid of him seeing what i look like under the clothes) but of course he looked anyhow. i got a little upset. we heard my dad coming and we quickly put our clothes back on. my dad came in the room and he said he was going to a couple stores to buy something. i couldnt hear him clearly though. he left and the boyfriend said that was a close call. and i said it didnt matter because we were married. and i could see the rings on our fingers and everything. my dog then escaped from the house and ran up the neighbors steps. i saw my neighbor vacuuming his kitchen floor. i picked up 2 versions of my dog. a skinny one and a fat one. i took them back into our house. the boyfriend sat down in front of the computer and i sat down next to him. the alarm went off and i woke up i dont understand this because there is no chance of us ever getting back together and i actually dont want to get back with him no matter how much pain i'm in right now. and this is the first dream of him since our break up. and since then i've had a few more dreams about him. and i'll post those some other time. so... anyone have a clue?

Well the computer may symbolise that there are new areas of opportunity being opened to you or you're feeling overwhelmed and/or at the mercy of another. Possibly your ex? To dream about your ex-boyfriend/girlfriend or that you and your ex got back together again, suggests that something or someone in your current life that is bringing out similar feelings you felt during the relationship with your ex. I got those things from a site www.dreammoods.com maybe search important things from your dream there and read what you feel applies.

I believe this goes back to our looking for lost/repressed parts of ourselves in other people - usually opposite sex. That's why we feel "whole" when in love. Anyway, our unconscious knows about this lost part of us and when dreaming it can appear as anyone with whom we feel comformatble or have connected with. Perhaps even children we used to play with. I think this is what is appearing as you ex-bf. I don't have much of an idea about your dog here, fat or thin. Nor the neighbour. Your father probably represents your values from childhood (e.g. obedience, achievement - whatever works for you). As he didn't know about your exploits it sounds like you feel a little uneasy at one level about being sexual, like it's perhaps wrong. But at the same time you feel comfortable (something like head says no, heart says yes). Your aversion to being seen naked also suggests you prefer to hide from people who may have an opinion about you, including your own rational self (which you report happens in real life). Not sure about the computer. Is this something you associate with "maleness"? Bu
