Hi there! I keep having very lucid dreams about not just one of my exes, but multiple exes. Mainly over the last couple of weeks. They have been very real to me and left me in a funk for hours after I awoken, it has even taken me some effort to keep reminding myself that the occurrences in the dreams weren't real. I know there is a lot of analysis on dreaming of an ex, but it's so strange to me that I am having dreams of different exes, which has never happened. I am going through an extremely stressful time in my life... a lot of turmoil with family and feeling very alone/excluded. There seems to be a somewhat common theme of feeling extreme stress and helplessness/abandonment/betrayal in each dream. While I've been dreaming about three exes mainly, one keeps popping up in dreams A LOT over the past month... ironically he is not the ex I think of the most often, or miss terribly.

The first one was a few weeks ago, so I don't remember the details... but I do remember it left me feeling extremely trapped.

Last week, I had one about a very short relationship that just ended a few weeks ago. I dreamt that the ex had entered into a relationship as a "swinger" on facebook, that this was common knowledge to me. I felt lied to, like the reason he broke up with me wasn't accurate, and sexually used.

Last night, I had a dream about an ex from 5 years ago. I don't think of him terribly often, so it is surprising to me... I've actually had a few dreams about him over the last month (which is totally puzzling to me). That same horrible abandonment feeling was there. In the dream, we had reconnected and decided to start dating again-- but I felt an emotional distance from him (like he didn't get me, mentally) and a lot of dislike/hostility from his family and friends (which happened, in real life). It ended with a lot of people cheating on one another, including finding him cheating on me. I was in a funk most of the day.

So confused about if these could have a deeper meaning than just being upset or making connections between similar feelings in relationships? Any thoughts? They've been upsetting me so much I would love to get a little clarity.
