No-one wants to unexpectedly bump into an ex – even in a dream.
indicates that searches around, “Why am I dreaming about my ex?” are up some 2,450 per cent since the lockdown began in March, compared to the same period last year. “Lockdown doesn’t allow us to get out and mingle, making it much harder to find a partner,” continues Loewenberg.
What about people who are in a relationship, but still find a former love keeps haunting their dreams? “For people who are currently in a relationship, lockdown is forcing us to spend far more time with our current partners than many of us are used to,” explains Loewenberg. “What we perceive as negative or less than appealing traits in our current partner can seriously be amplified right now. The subconscious brain starts comparing qualities and faults between our current and ex-partner.
Dreaming about an ex is common for most people at some point in their lives. “The ex we dream about the most is our first love, or the one where there was the most passion,” says Loewenberg. “He or she will show up in our dreams when we are in a dry spell, or our current relationship has become a little too routine and humdrum. That ex is a reminder from our subconscious that it is time to spice things up, bring the passion back into our life or our current relationship.
