  I was having some very vivid, very real dreams...so I have been researching online the meaning of dreams...here is some of what I found: Unconscious material attempting to make itself known, especially knowledge that you've feared. Look to the qualities of the intruder for more awareness about your fears. It may also represent aspects of yourself that you've denied If the separation/divorce is an old one, the presence of the ex, especially in a positive way, may remind you that this is a quality you need to incorporate into your present life/relationship. The dream could be suggesting that what you learned from a previous relationship may need to be applied in a present one; that you're repeating the same mistake; that feelings/attitudes you have about an ex (especially as they apply to men/women in general) are being transferred onto a present relationship. What part of you is an "ex," or is some part of you being "x'd out"?
