Killing an ex in a dream signifies a psychological attempt to finalize a connection that has remained unresolved in the mind. This process involves the brain attempting to sever the lingering ties or emotional threads that prevent a clean break from a previous chapter of life.
The dream functions to end the influence of the person by treating the memory as a thing that requires a final strike to clear the mind. While the imagery is violent, the function is the disposal of an outdated emotional pattern that no longer serves the current state of being. This sudden termination of the symbol provides a space where the past is no longer a participant in the present.
Beating up an ex in a dream shifts the focus from a need for closure to an active expression of suppressed frustration. The dreamer uses this dream to vent the sharpness of old grievances that still carry weight.

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.
