Summer Refresh: Dreaming of Your Ex
08/26/24 • 20 min
In the final episode of our Summer Refresh series, we revisit Episode 29 to explore the common meanings behind dreams involving your ex. This was first aired as part five of our series on "the deep" things of God.
As we know, dreams are frequently metaphorical. Dreaming about past relationships or even friendships is no exception! Often when we dream about a former relationship, friendship, boss, or even colleague, it is unlikely that God is directing us to return to those situations. Instead, such dreams often indicate that you may be in danger of, or have already fallen back into, old habits, thought patterns, or belief systems prevalent in that dynamic. Discerning which area of your life God is speaking to and understanding the context of the dream is key to gaining clarity.
Margaux shares a personal dream involving an ex-boyfriend, who often symbolizes a spiritual dynamic prevalent in her past relationship with him. In her dream, this ex-boyfriend wasn't a call to rekindle the relationship, but a warning from God that she might be at risk of falling under the influence of these negative forces again. Additionally, if you’re having dreams where you're either kissing, holding hands, or walking with someone from the past, do not fret! This can symbolically represent agreement or alignment with what that person represents in your life. Understanding these symbols can help you navigate the deep spiritual truths God is revealing through your dreams.
*Scripture References: Psalm 29; Revelation 2:4-5
“Anytime there’s pain around something there’s a huge opportunity to believe something false.”
“We don’t have to be afraid of these kinds of dreams or images. Holy Spirit is never going to push us away, He’s always drawing us to Him. There is a fear of punishment or getting called out that so many of us have around these things, but God does not deal in shame...He operates in truth, He loves to reveal what’s hidden, and He loves to keep us healthy and connected to Him and ourselves.”

Summer Refresh: Redeeming Nightmares w/ Jake Bullard
Joined by her friend Jake Bullard, Margaux and Jake discuss the importance of redeeming nightmares and taking back what the enemy has stolen from our night seasons. Have you ever experienced spiritual attack in your dream life? Have you ever had a nightmare? Sadly, you are not alone. There are many dreamers who have subsequently chosen to either shut down their gift as a result of this violation, or, they continue to struggle, having only seen the counterfeit compared to what God has for us in our dream lives. BUT - there is good news! God redeems ALL things - including your dream life!
Because the enemy can only create a counterfeit, that means somewhere in that nightmare, there is a redemptive word of the Lord to be sought out. We must dive in and ask God how He is speaking redemptively into this so that we can, with our God-given authority, take back this territory for the Kingdom and God’s purposes. Often times the area in which we are most attacked in our dream lives is the area in which the enemy is most intimidated by your gifting, calling and identity. Join us in this episode to hear powerful testimonies of breakthrough and learn how to see God’s redemption in all things!

“The enemy has hijacked the night season from so many people. Your dreams are the purest form of a prophetic word that you’re ever going to receive because it bypasses your frontal lobe of consciousness, and God uses the limitlessness of your subconscious to speak to you the vastness of your destiny.”
“The places that people are being attacked in their nightmares were generally the place where they are the strongest and the enemy is the most intimidated...God wants to redeem that.”
“God is the God of the night just as He is the God of the day. There’s never a moment where God is not God. And in that, He wants to speak to you.”
“The cross has the final word, period.”

Next Episode
Fresh Season: Interpreting Dreams about Fall-ing (and a bonus common dream)
Fall is here! And with it, a new season of the Breathing Underwater podcast, where we dive into the deep things of God and explore the mysteries of how He speaks to us through dreams.
As we transition into the fall season, we're also discussing a common dream: the falling dream. This type of dream often reflects areas in your life where you feel out of control or unable to change the outcome. The context of your dream matters—were you alone when you fell? Did you jump, or were you pushed? The details can reveal more about what God is highlighting in your life. Remember, dreams are not just about conveying information; they are an invitation to draw closer to God and seek His guidance.
With Labor Day approaching, we’re also talking about pregnancy dreams. These are more common than you might think and - believe it or not - are not just for women. These dreams often symbolize that you are spiritually pregnant with something new that God is bringing forth in your life. It could be a new job, season, relationship, or opportunity. Pay attention to the details in your dream: how far along are you? This could provide insight into what God is doing in your life. Be sure to ask God what He is birthing through you and be open to the journey of discovery!
Join us as we fall into a new season, exploring these themes and more, as we grow in intimacy with God and understanding the language of dreams!
*Scripture References: Genesis 15:1; Genesis 20:1-7; Genesis 28:10-17
“He’s giving us keys to pray to bring His kingdom to earth.”
“Don’t forget...learning to interpret your dreams isn’t just about getting information. It’s about intimacy. It is about hearing from your Creator who wants to be in relationship with you.”
