I keep dreaming about my ex from 20 years ago – is he still missing me?

DEAR DEIDRE: WHAT does it mean when you keep dreaming about an old flame?

My ex finished our relationship 20 years ago.

He married someone else and moved away.

We’re both in our 60s now. I never wed.

My only contact with him is seeing his posts on social media.

Recently he shared on Facebook that his mum had died.

Since then, I’ve had three vivid dreams about him.

In them, we’re a couple again and I wake up happy.

My friend said dreaming about someone means they are missing you.

Should I reach out to him?

DEIDRE SAYS: If your ex is now single and missing you, he will be in touch when you’re both awake.

In my experience, dreams reveal unresolved feelings about a situation.

You might not have come to terms with the relationship ending, despite it being long ago.

When you saw your ex’s post about his mum, you recalled a happier time.
