Ex-Partner
Dreams about ex-partners are extremely common and usually don't mean you want to get back together. Instead, they often represent unresolved emotional patterns, qualities of that person you've internalized, or aspects of yourself that were prominent during that relationship. The ex may symbolize a particular time in your life rather than the actual person.
Eyes
Eyes in dreams represent perception, understanding, and the ability to 'see' truth. Losing sight may indicate denial or unwillingness to see something. Extra eyes or enhanced vision can represent heightened awareness or psychic sensitivity. The 'third eye' in dreams connects to spiritual perception.
