This isn't always the case though—after all, a neuroscientist might tell you that your brain is just connecting random nonsense messages together that have no bearing on your real life—but Burke explains that if you find yourself really worried about a breakup dream when you wake up, it likely does speak to some real-world anxieties you're harboring.
But, Burke adds: "The meaning may not be, 'I'm going to break up with my partner' or 'my partner is going to break up with me,' but it may have a more symbolic significance. It may not be so obvious. For example, certain people in our lives may carry certain associations for us that don't necessarily have to do with how we feel about that person, Burke explains.
You met them out clubbing. That was your thing, you love being in that scene, and maybe you really connect the two—[your partner and the club scene].
Maybe you're not doing that as much anymore, but you really connect [your partner] with that part of your life. So looking at it in that way, I would look at the associations a person has with their partner—when they met, what kind of stage in their life they were in, were they happy or sad—and go okay, maybe your partner symbolizes that night-clubbing, partying lifestyle, and maybe there's a part of you that wants to end that now.
So, it's not about the partner at all. It's about what you connect with [them], the kind of roots of that relationship and that scene," she explains. She also points out that the idea of a breakup itself might not necessarily be a negative thing for everyone. To understand how this might work, Burke uses the example of dreaming about a loud, barking, angry-looking dog. That's danger," she explains. So I feel really safe when I'm around that kind of dog.
