Let me start by saying that I am the kind of person that has very, very vivid dreams almost every night. I dream about all sorts of things, and I almost always LOVE remembering my dreams, no matter how odd or disturbing they may be. I understand that dreams are unpredictable and I usually get great pleasure from my dreams.
However, for the past two weeks, I have been constantly dreaming of my ex boyfriend. Background: We were together three years, broke up a year and a half ago. We really don't talk ever, he has a serious girlfriend, and I've had a serious-ish relationship since he and I broke up, that ended a few months ago.
When we initially broke up, I guess I dreamt about him now and again, but this makes sense to me. However, since I haven't seen him or spoken to him in two months, I don't understand why all of a sudden he is popping up in my dreams, every damn night. In these dreams, he is professing his undying love for me, saying things are over with the other girl, and I'm the only one for him. And in the dream, I am completely, deliriously happy to hear these things. There are also lots of other crazy things going on in these dreams, different every time. For example, last night, we were at a huge party where every room was like an empty concrete swimming pool, filled with gumballs, and sometimes we were being sucked into a drain at the bottom that turned into a waterslide. In reference to the part where he says he loves me and yadda yadda, I've never really had dreams that were so cliched and seemingly obvious. I guess I'm looking for some meaning other than the obvious, because I really don't want to think that I subconsciously want to hear those things from him. Any advice on how to make these damn dreams stop would be fabulous, as they are driving me to the point of wanting to email him, which would just open a big, nasty can of worms.
Sorry if this is all over the place and rambling, any insight is greatly appreciated!!!

Hi Ahm.

It sounds like your dreams are a sort of 'wish fulfillment'. You know he's in a serious relationship, and you are not. You are subconsciously wanting the same thing.
You were together for 3 years....it's hard not to feel something for someone you were with for that long. I agree that he's not the one you want to be with. He's just a 'representation'.
A party and being 'sucked into' a drain, together with 'being with' your ex, is your subconscious telling you that you don't want to be 'pulled into' just any relationship, or one like you had with your ex. That you want more than just parties, and fun. You want a serious relationship.

Just take a few steps back, and don't worry about whether or not you have what he has. Take this time to discover who you are, and what you want out of life.
I know it's cliché, but seriously,... There is someone for everyone, out there.

Hope this helps you out.

You're quite welcome! I'm glad we could help.
I think if you take some 'me' time, you'll be a happier, more well-informed person. A lot of people jump into a relationship, just because they don't want to be alone. But what usually winds up happening....they are alone IN a relationship.
When you know what you want out of life, and what you expect from others...you'll be able to assert yourself, and find someone, or attract someone, who is 'like-minded' and wants the same things in life as you do.

Happiness & Good Luck!

My Interpretation:

Ex-Boyfriend: Someone who knows you inside out and therefore not judging you by appearances.
Left the girl and professing undying love to you: Chooses you in the end.
Swimming pool in every room: The same danger no matter where you go.
Gumballs: The danger is harmless, but mundane.

Do you feel inferior to others?
Do you want people to tell you that you are beautiful inside?
Do you want the fairytale love?
