So i had a dream last night that i was with my ex. We're both married and haven't seen each other for years. Has this happened to anyone? Does anyone know what it means?
Details: making out and going in to the sex. & have been having him in my head all day after having that dream.
Don't know if you buy into dream interpretation, but here's what the dream dictionary says...

I only dream of killing my ex. Just kidding. Well sort of. lol
Here is what dreammoods.com says:
Ex Husband / Ex Wife
In particular, to see your ex-husband/wife in your dream indicates that you are currently finding yourself in a situation that you do not want to be in. It suggests that you are experiencing a similar relationship or situation which makes you feel unhappy and uncomfortable. Alternatively, dreaming that you are together with your ex-husband/wife implies that you are subconsciously repeating the same old patterns from that relationship to your current relationship. You are making the same mistakes and reacting the same way.
That's no dream, that's your worst nightmare!

Welcome to mamapedia!!
Dreams are funny things sometimes...since you don't specify WHAT the dream was about - were you talking, walking, having sex - what?
Usually when one dreams of their ex, it COULD imply unresolved feelings, that your current relationship is in the same state as **that** relationship...it could just be that you were dreaming of him...
Who knows!! Our minds do funky things sometimes with us!!
Our minds pull stuff from all corners of our memories and jumble them up and we wake up completely confused. I used to have this recurring dream of being at college with my kids as preschoolers (I had my kids at 37 and 40 and graduated from college at age 22) and not being able to find my mailbox key, not knowing where my classrooms were, and trying to make sure I was holding hands with the kids while carrying textbooks, term papers, etc.
I think most of our dreams don't have any kind of deep meaning. Instead I think that sounds, smells, TV shows watched before bedtime, remind us of a certain time in our life and then people or things from that time are pulled out of the memory files. If only we could de-frag our hard drive selectively!!!
It's normal. Most scientists think dreams are fragments of thoughts and memories we have throughout the day, but without the filter through which we make sense of the world.
The kind of dream you had is common, and it's nothing to worry about.
ha i dreamt last week i was with my ex and i phoned him using a book as my phone. I was mad at him the entire dream and somehow he was kicking M. out until the end when I realized I was with my fiancee and no longer with him so he couldnt kick M. out.
I dont think dreams have that much meaning...unless M. using the book as a phone has some insanely deep meaning..i would love to hear someones insane huge theory on that=)

I have dreams like nymetromom all of the time. where im in college or highschool yet have my daughter with M. or i forgot to put clothes on or forget where all my classes are...there will be bits from current things mixed with all previoys years and then it J. comes out odd
It means you saw or did something that reminded you of your ex during the day and didn't have time/energy/awareness to deal with it then so your subconsciousness dealt with it during your sleep. Not an issue unless it becomes reoccurring or you have a strong inclination to act on the dream.
thoughts......
often dreams are symbols and not literal. for example if you dream you "want" him that doesn't necessarily mean you want him sexually. You may want something else altogether. If you dream Jack Bauer upset you it might really be about Jack Jones. Can be very complicated. Or having sex with your ex may represent a time in your life when you felt carefree.... so you might really be dreaming about wanting to escape the stress in your life.
