Dreams about ex-partners can often symbolize unresolved feelings or nostalgia for the past. Kissing your ex-boyfriend may indicate that you are reflecting on past relationships or emotions that you have not fully processed. The enjoyment you felt during the kiss suggests a longing for intimacy or connection that you might be missing in your current life.
The act of him fondling you in the dream could represent desires for affection or validation, and the disappointment of the dream being cut short might signify feelings of unfulfilled desires or a sense of loss. Your search for him afterward may indicate a quest for closure or understanding regarding that relationship or a desire to reconnect with a part of yourself that you associate with that time in your life.
Consider what this dream might reveal about your current emotional state and relationships. Are there aspects of your past or feelings you need to explore further? It might also be helpful to think about whether you are seeking more emotional intimacy in your current life. Reflecting on these feelings can provide valuable insights into your waking life.
