Owen SterlingClosure with an ex occurs when the brain tries to settle an old matter that has stayed open from a previous time. This process serves to file away old emotional data that has failed to reach a state of rest, preventing the mind from fully transitioning into a new cognitive phase.
An ex appearing in such a dream shows the mind sorting through the traces of a bond that still touches current ways of thinking. While this encounter with what has passed can feel burdensome, it is the mind working to organize its internal records. The dreamer finds that as these mental files are finally closed, there is more capacity for the present to take hold.
Moving on from an ex, getting closure with an ex, or saying goodbye to an ex all suggest a dream where the mind is actively performing the work of detachment. Such a dream shows the brain finally cutting the threads that once tied a person to a previous identity.
Crying over an ex shows the mind letting out the heaviness of a grief that has not yet been settled. This release of tears serves to clear the tension that the old memory still holds within the psyche.

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.
