What does it mean if you dream of a person you haven’t seen for a long time?

If you recently dreamed of someone you haven't seen for a long time, for example, an ex-boyfriend or a former colleague from an old place of work, we'll tell you why this happened to you. Is it possible that this person is thinking about you?

Dream themes are often based on your thoughts and concerns during the day, but they can also reflect unconscious thoughts or feelings.

If you dreamed of a person you haven't seen for a long time, and you remember every detail of that person when you wake up, could it mean that that person is thinking about you? Oh no. Psychologist Jesse Lyon says what your subconscious is actually trying to send you is a message:

“It tells you directly about your problem related to the situation you are facing. In particular, you may dream that you are arguing with someone because you are currently in conflict with someone or in some situation,” said the Verywell Mind expert.

“Another example might be that you dream that you are going to a concert with a close friend whom you have not seen for a long time. Actually, in real life, you want to experience something new, maybe make social connections,” Jesse Lyon said.

What does it mean if you dream about a former boss or school teacher?

Additionally, dreaming about someone you haven't seen for years could represent a subconscious desire to reconnect with that person or a specific need that you are unaware of:

“If you dream about someone, you should ask yourself, what does this person symbolize for me?” the specialist recommends.

For example, if you dreamed about your former boss, there is a high probability that in everyday life you want to be more authoritative. If your mother or relative appears in your dream, it may mean that your femininity is compromised, and if you dream about your school teacher, you are likely to be afraid of being judged or judged.
