Why do I keep having dreams of my ex?

Okay, since last year I've been having dreams of my ex, who was also my first love. From, my dating experience, you can see why it didn't work out. Though, it was painful but it had to be done. After the breakup, I felt we had unfinished business or some closure to do  that each time we see it doesn't feel like we have. I barely dreamt about him but it became serious beginning of last year, that I had to buzz him on Facebook where he quickly told me he is engaged to be married as if I was trying to get him back. I wasn't trying to get him back, a part of me just wanted to know why I had that first dream which I barely have of him.



I wished him well after he told me of his engagement but I also thought "people get engaged, doesn't mean it would lead to marriage " - therefore I didn't take it seriously. After some time I had a three dreams in one week about him, one was where he asked me to marry him. Though I said yes in the dream but all I could think of was how he was a bad lover, lol. I asked myself why I'm having dreams about getting married to him when he is engaged to someone else but somehow the dream was telling me he was really getting married - I didn't know that at the time.  After seeing his wedding pictures on Facebook, I cried a little and told myself it was finally over for good; This was in December. Seven months after, another dream of my ex showed up. In the dream he was frustrated in his marriage and begging me to take him back - I hardly remember my dreams, all I know is he was there.  And I'm wondering why I'm still having dreams about him even after I deleted him on Facebook and decided not to check his photos on social media.
Though I'm not psychic, I believe dreams have meaning (unless you are having malaria) , sometimes not directly...
It could either mean that my subconscious wants him to feel like he made a mistake, though I don't want him back.
He is really frustrated in the marriage (is too soon though).
It's telling me I made a good decision by ending the relationship.
Or my ex stands for someone else in my life - that is either finding his was back to me or realize he made a mistake letting me go.
I don't know what it is but I would pretty much love to have an ex-free dream or someone should please interpret it for me.
The truth is, I really loved my ex and breaking up was one of the hardest things I had to do. He played a significant role him my life, being with him brought out the good and worst side of me. The worst side of me was really bad it was like I couldn't recognize myself.  So, he seems to be appearing in my dreams cause of that significant part he played on my life and my dream is trying to take me somewhere that I'm yet to figure out.
Why I'm I having dreams of my ex? Why is my dream choosing to use his face? The passed two years have been the worst time of my life; no job, no real relationship...I guess time will tell what these dreams truly mean.

How to leave a toxic job when you don't have another lined up

The indicators of a poisonous relationship are typically the same, whether it's with a partner, friend, or family member: your views and opinions are not valued, you're the only one ready to compromise or put in work to improve the connection, and you continuously feel like you're walking on eggshells. It may have a significant impact on your mental health and well-being, as I just discovered firsthand. My toxic connection, however, was not with a love partner or a friend; it was with my job.   The term "toxic jobs" refers to unfavourable work settings that put a burden on employees' mental health. These environments often feature abusive managers, discriminatory or harassing conduct, heavy office politics, and a climate of gossip or rivalry.   And these settings are more frequent than you would think: according to a 2020 Emtrain poll, 41% of employees do not believe their company would take a harassment report seriously, and 29% had left a job due to workplac

Happy New Year in Advance

Hello everyone, Incase I have not said happy New Year in advance. Happy New year!!! Ugh, a lot of things happened to me this year 2022; I lost my younger brother in January , quit my job in May and quit the new one in October. I met some cool people and lost some. I went through an emotional roller coaster and my blood pressure got really high. There is a lot to unpack here but I really don’t feel like writing about it. Yes that is another thing; I have not been feeling like writing anything since I started staying at home again. I don’t feel like seeing people or going out. Been thinking of how to make money without having to go to work six days a week every single morning, facing Lagos traffic and all the crazies that come with 9 to 5. I feel hung-over typing this - tried to write articles every day but that didn’t work out, keep questioning myself if I am a good writer and why is it taking me this long to write something.   Two days ago, I was really upset and just irritated. You kn

When you don't know what to do

Sometimes when we feel stuck and lost, we just assume that every other person is doing better than us. That is not true. Most times when we don't know what to do, it simply means that we are overwhelmed. First of all, what do you want to do? Because most times we don't have anything to do but we feel like we should be doing something. Therefore, make sure you stay away from social media; except you are watching comedy on YouTube, DO NOT check your social media! My simple and short answer for if you don’t know what to do would just be not to do anything at all. You can only do something that needs to be done. If there is nothing to do, you can’t do anything about it. Have you heard of the phrase, let go of what you can’t change? Then you should practice that, cause holding on to something you can’t do anything about will cause anxiety, depression and exhaustion. So why look for what is not there? You have to be specific about what it is you want to do, that is the only way you c
