In real life, I am happy and in a very loving relationship. But I have had several (about 5) dreams where my ex is trying to kill me in verious ways. Last night I dreamt that he was chasing me with a saw!

More details. . . My relationship with my ex ended with his severe drug addiction which drove me away and his trying to kill himself to get me to stay. He lost his job after I left, 1 yr ago, and is still unemployed and has moved in with his mom.
I have moved on and found, hopefully, the man I will spend the rest of my life with, he is trusting, loving, outgoing, and really just great in everyway! I have never been with anyone like him. Hope these tid bits help!

It seems that your unconscious (also called subconscious) is trying to deal with something serious, thus the repetitive, serious and memorable nature of your dream.
There are ways to analyze a dream. My opinion is that the best time is when you are close to sleep but still awake. This will more closely link your unconscious with your conscious. You can also do this while fully awake. See what comes to mind about all of the parts of your dream. If you want, write out your dream and then brainstorm or freely associate to each part of the dream.
There are some themes that come to my mind. You were with a person who fell apart and now you are with someone stable. Maybe now that you are in a relatively safe place, you need to deal with the emotions of this past experience which is still intruding into your current life. While this negative experience is over timewise, it may not be over emotionally and your dream is telling you that now is the time to address the emotional pain.
Another possibility is that you two were together as a couple and since then, he has gone downhill and you have gone uphill. Both realities have rapidly changed and in a divergent way. You may be experiencing some fear when you look back and see what you were involved in.
A third possibility is that since you were a couple you may feel some "survivor" guilt that he didn't survive the relationship but you went on and thrived. You've replaced him, but he hasn't been able to pick up the pieces. Maybe you feel a pull from him since you recognize that you are his last girlfriend and he hasn't moved on.

Dreaming About An Ex

If it were my dream, (reverse the gender, of course) speaking from my own, which I've had for years, and later they make sense, I'd think right off, some sort of warning was in order from it. Perhaps something will occur that may not be to your own liking or satisfaction. The details can or cannot be pertinent, I've noticed from my own; having them, and seeing how they do come to fruition later. After enough dreams and time living with them, seeing our own life's results kinda helps us understand ourselves and our dreams better. Go get a dream book also, maybe even 2 or 3. Then read about it in each.Not knowing a person or their life makes it very difficult to answer this. Dreams come from our subconsciousness out, and apparently at appropriate timing...don't know yours, but proceed with caution, because until something occurs how could you or anyone else relate it to that particular dream, when they occur over & over (same content) we can be sure it is a message and not just an airing out of our subconscious..for sure!

Dreams do not always mean what is most apparent. When you sleep your brain is doing a sort of defrag of the days events. If something is on your mind - even if you have not consciously thought about the dilemma - your brain will pick it up in the nightly defrag.
Your subconscious may be feeling the relationship is stiff ling your own identity. There may be deep issues with mistrust between you and your partner.
Sometimes a dream will mean exactly the opposite of what seems to be the obvious interpretation. You could be dreaming that he kills you with kindness or affection.

Being chased = being criticized
being killed = insecurity, guilt conscience
You may feel insecure about people around you. Having Ex projected in a dream trying to kill you could mean there are some regret you may have in your life. Chasing you could mean being criticized. It may not be him. But somehow his image lurks into your mind and have you dream about that. He is just a symbol of fear of things that you feel insecure. Even though you have a loving relationship, that may be an obstacle in you life. The obstacle is fear of being criticized and some insecurity or guilt conscience in you. Examine your life and you probably know why you dreamed about that.

A great way to get your ex back is https://tr.im/Pl0eK
They might realize they need you and come crawling back!
If you do get back together, don't let the same issues that destroyed your relationship crop up again. Have a good, long talk about how you're both going to make it right this time.

Texting lets you control the tone and establish what kind of conversation you want to have. Learn here https://tr.im/BK6eP
This is probably the most important part. With texting, you can stop and think about what you want to say to your ex at each step of the way. Instead of reacting emotionally, you can take your time, figure out the right thing to say (I’ll give you most of it), and be strategic with your ex without saying something that you’ll regret.

You have some unresolved issues with your ex, and secretly you either still desire him sexually and are afraid this will "kill" you which is now defined as your "very loving relationship" or there are some things about him that you are afraid to tell your current partner.

i used to have dreams like that about my ex when i was still with him....i would be carrying my kids and running away from him cause he wanted to hurt me......i was terrified of my ex during sleep and when awake (it's why he is an ex now).....did he ever threaten you or abuse you when you were with him? might be that you are afraid that he will hurt you now that you are happy!!!

I think it means that you and your "ex" had good reasons for separating. Five dreams (nightmares!) like this would indicate some real leftover hostility.
