I had a dream that I was at the marriage reception..after marrying my ex years ago.....

In the dream I could not find the reception....

In the dream ..the night before in the dream ..I was angry and wanted to call the wedding off...I was packing up pink Mason jars...my mom told me in the dream to marry him ....

He disappeared in the dream and popped up in the beginning of the wedding in the dream like nothing happened.....

I had this dream 2 years ago

I'm single and haven't dreamed about him since ...would like translation

I dream about my ex all of the time..This time though it was back to back. The first dream he was trying to protect me. The second dream I was in his house cooking for his family, and his mother told me, "you should have never left" she said, "you and him do the same things, act like you dont love each other, even him and the ring" Then she stopped. I knew that he was going to propose. In the dream he was sleep or pretended to be asleep the entire time. But he was beautiful even in his sleep. His energy was that he loved me but was too proud to admit it so he acted angry with me. And would move around in his sleep. But i could feel even in the dream that he loves me deeply. I have prayed for God to break our soulties so that I can finally move on with my life. And then I meditated for God to send me love. And this is when I dreamed of him. God if there is no hope please take this man out of my mind and heart. I want real love not to be pining away for someone. God please help heal my heart❤

Yes, I have dreams about my ex all the time we’re in no contact but he’s always saying that he loves me. He regrets not telling me how much he misses me and then we’re just so happy in the dream. Every interaction that we have on the phone we’re laughing and smiling even though in real life we’re not even communicating and I haven’t spoken to him in 2 months but on social media he’s constantly checking on my page🤷🏾‍♀️ so I hope that this means that he’s coming back into my life soon but just too proud to reach out

@aladynamedSusan

@@khimonet5927 I will pray for you two, to rekindle a healthy loving romance if that is your desire. Bless you❤️

So, I also kept having dreams about an ex… he wasn’t exactly a good man, and obviously that is why he’s my “ex”! Now that being said, I kept wondering why I kept having dreams about him, especially since neither of us really cared for each other when we broke up! One day I decided to pray against these dreams, I had a hunch they were from the underworld. Suddenly I stopped having these dreams for a couple of months. One night I woke up in the middle of a night and suddenly I heard someone whisper in my ear “okay, now you’re going to dream a little about John” 😳 I immediately knew that it was a demon influencing my dreams! All along these demonic entities were putting thoughts of him in my head and all those dreams were meant to keep me chained up in my past! I rebuke all demonic spirits in the name of Lord Jesus Christ! Amen!

@evangelistjoshua I have been having dreams of my ex boyfriend. We have been separated for two years by witchcraft. I still love him and i pray for him all the time. I see him in my dreams often, how do I know if these are prophetic dreams or soul ties? I’ll see people doing things to him, or things about his life, or him telling me he wants me, or even that God spoke to him. I don’t know how to move on, because part of me felt it was prophetic but listening to this I don’t know anymore.

I had a few dreams about my ex one being I saw him at the beach and we talked, one in which I saw him in a freezing wilderness with an ice castle and the upon entering the castle we went on a field trip with a class to a hotter region ,one in which I saw him in the midst of darkness, one in which I accidentally met him at a park or visiting center, and my most recent one in which I accidentally bumped into him at the local hotel and he was in the room next to mine. The last two ones I occasionally have had once or twice a year or when I am trying to let go and move on and when I finally have moved on my subconscious reminds me of him. I keep praying to let go and want to just leave the past in the past.

I Dreamt of my ex crying to stay in mother house with me and begging me to stay but I did not allow him I told him that is impossible be I do not co-habit and that is not how we do think as Africans. And we went out to the road, and it's looked like he was bankruptcy in real life. We broke up 2010 before I was born again and since then I never had a boyfriend. He tried making attempts to get back to me but I didn't intertain it.

I had a dream about my ex that he was standing at my back and on my left side his brother and mother was standing beside me and we were looking at his current gf, my ex whispered into my ears and said that he didn't like the hair style she was in now compared to the first time he met her and I woke up. I didn't pay any attention to the dream coz I thought it was just a dream and then after 2 weeks I dreamt that I was sitting under a big house in the night and he came and sat the the back of me, I asked him to leave 3times but he refused. What does this means?

@QueenBolepo

I dreamt about my ex wearing a white shirt and he was telling an unknown lady to give me an ice cream and I took the I cream it's was a colorful ice in a cup, the color that was more vivid was pink. But the room we were in was dark and than he left. He tried making attempts to get back to me but I didn't intertain it. We broke up 2014 just a few months before I was born again. And since then I never had any boyfriend.
