Ex-Partner
Unresolved feelings, patterns, self-reflection
Number Three
Trinity, creativity, expression
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.
Number Three
Three represents the creative principle, expression, and the resolution of duality into synthesis. The trinity archetype appears in countless traditions: Father/Son/Spirit, Maiden/Mother/Crone, past/present/future. In dreams, three often represents the beginning, middle, and end of something, or the mind-body-spirit connection. Three objects or events suggest a pattern or a message about creative expression.
