I dream about someone every night, are we soul tied?

I dated a man for a few months last year. The way I loved him you would’ve thought he was god. It ended very messy, lots of angry feelings between us.

Over the past year I’ve spent EFFORT to get over it. It wasn’t easy but I can truly say that I am. I don’t think of him in my day to day, sometimes he comes up in conversation as he knows a few of my friends, but very little time spent on my mind.

However, every night I dream of him. Like maybe not every night but a full year post breakup and it’s a 70% chance I dream about him. It’s insane. Usually terrible nightmares, they always follow the same plot, for whatever reason, we try to get back together and it never works out. I wake up in a cold sweat and I’m always shocked the dreams aren’t real. I honestly can say it’s not a manifestation of my desires as I don’t want to be with this dude at all.

I also swear to god the only reason he ever does come to mind in my waking hours is because he HATES me. Like genuinely despises me. He also likes to talk about this with anyone who will listen. I swear his hatred (not positive, but hate is still energy towards me that he’s sending into the universe) is keeping our memory alive. Sometimes I will be driving home and have this strange memory of something entirely unrelated to my day or my thoughts, it will be of him and I, it’s angsty and heavy and the hit of it emotionally doesn’t even feel like my own feelings.

This sounds fucking crazy, but I think we’re like soul tied? Or something? Or the energy of his hatred is still affecting me? Or I’m just subconsciously still stuck on it? Like genuinely why does he live in my dreams?

To go more woo woo with it, I sometimes think dreams are universal possibilities beyond our reality. Are we fated to love and fail in every universe, and I’m facing that when I sleep? Or am I just subconsciously playing into the habits of the past year, just to dissect it and try to understand what happened between us? Idk.

For all the hate I speak of and disdain I have for him, we were pretty connected. I think deeply (and in a very toxic way) in love. Maybe that connection is still there? Idk. What does this mean?
