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.
Hospital
Hospitals represent the need for healing — physical, emotional, or psychological. Being a patient suggests vulnerability and a need to allow others to help. Working in a hospital may indicate a healing role in others' lives. An emergency room visit reflects urgent emotional needs. A hospital can also represent fear of illness or mortality.
