If you have dreamed of your ex smiling at you: Spending time at home can keep you away from people who try to cause trouble, you should listen to the positive advice and suggestions of your former colleagues or ex-friends. If your ex-lover smiles at you in a dream, it indicates that the person does not break his bond with the past, that the same events are repeated over and over again, and that you cannot make decisions about your life. This dream is considered a warning and indicates that you should look ahead and set new goals.
