An abusive ex-husband in a dream is the mind sorting through the debris of a broken domestic bond and the heavy memory of past instability. This dream acts to gather the remnants of a threat to personal safety so that the internal systems of self-protection stay alert.
The presence of such a figure signals that the mind is still working through the impact of an old imbalance of power. Such a dream can be a way for the subconscious to test the strength of current boundaries against the memory of former ones. There is a persistent tension in the way the psyche handles the remains of a harmful connection. The dreamer is now able to see that the time of instability is over.
A deceased ex-husband in a dream changes the nature of the processing from an active threat to a matter of historical closure. Because the figure is no longer living, the dream shifts its focus from the fear of a recurring conflict to the finality of what has been lost or left behind. The psyche settles into the reality that the source of the harm is gone.

Owen SterlingInterpreter interprets your dreams
Many people believe a frightening dream announces something, when more often the brain was simply sorting the days just before it. During the night the mind files what was carried over from recent hours, and what gets filed loudest is what was felt most. A rough night leaves a residue by morning that fades with daylight. Nothing was sent. The sleeper was working, and the work is done.
