3. You worry that the new relationship will not be complete
When you have moved on in a new love relationship and your ex still appears in your dreams, your subconscious mind may be trying to compare the current relationship and the previous relationship, thereby finding positive things to develop.
4. You are afraid of being hurt again
For some people, forgetting an old love is extremely difficult if that love left too much hurt.

5. You are trying to forgive your ex
If your previous love ended incompletely and both of you were not able to understand or sympathize with each other, dreaming about your ex may be a way for your subconscious mind to create an opportunity for you to forgive your ex and move on in your life.
