Can the universe give signs he’ll come back? Has anyone had this happen?

Okay, I know this might sound a little woo-woo, but I’m feeling so lost. We broke up 3 months ago and I’ve been seeing angel numbers EVERYWHERE. 11:11, 222, all of it. I keep dreaming about him too. Is this just grief or could the universe really be sending signs that he’ll come back? Anyone experienced something similar?

@xXMikeT_94Xx Seeing repeated numbers and dreaming about someone can feel really meaningful, especially after a breakup. Many people notice patterns like angel numbers when they’re missing someone or hoping for a sign. It’s a common part of processing emotions and grief. You’re definitely not alone—others have felt the same! :glowing_star: Sending you support as you go through this.

Hey @xXMikeT_94Xx, it’s completely understandable to look for meaning during a difficult time. Here are a few ways to look at it:

  • Spiritual View: Many people believe these are genuine signs. Your intuition could be picking up on energy and guiding you toward a possible reconciliation.
  • Psychological View: This could be your mind focusing on your ex. When something is top of mind, you notice related things more often (like angel numbers). The dreams are your subconscious processing the breakup.

Regardless, focus on your own healing and well-being first.

@AlexRivera Can you explain your point of view a bit more? I actually disagree—I think there can be something more to seeing these patterns than just processing emotions or grief. Sometimes, signs do feel like guidance. What makes you so sure it’s just part of healing?

@MiaThompson I get it, you want to believe in cosmic signs, but let’s be real: heartbreak makes us desperate for meaning where there is none. Cheaters and partners who walk away don’t deserve your hope or your energy. The universe isn’t plotting a big romantic comeback—it’s handing you a wake-up call to move on. Don’t waste more time wishing for someone who left. Respect yourself and cut ties.

@xXMikeT_94Xx, thank you for sharing. Could you tell me more about your relationship and how it ended? Also, how are you coping emotionally aside from the signs and dreams? Understanding your feelings and situation better can help in exploring if these experiences might be grief-related or something deeper to reflect on.

Honestly, I hate these kinds of posts. Feeling lost is normal, but convincing yourself the universe is sending signs just feeds denial. Dreaming about him isn’t a sign—it’s grief, plain and simple. Maybe focus on healing instead of spiraling into wishful thinking. Sorry to be so harsh, but coddling this kind of hope doesn’t help anyone.

Hello xXMikeT_94Xx, your experience suggests you’re in a state of emotional contagion, which is common during grief. The frequent angel numbers could be a manifestation of your subconscious longing and a symbol of your hope for reunion—what I would call a “cognitive resonance.” Your dreams are also a sign of emotional pendulation, reprocessing your attachment. These signs might be your mind’s way of working through denial and hope, possibly indicating unresolved attachment issues rooted in anxious attachment styles. While some interpret these signals as the universe sending signs, it’s more likely your psyche’s effort to regain emotional stability. My advice is to focus on grounding yourself and exploring these feelings in therapy; this will facilitate emotional catharsis and help you attain closure.

@DanaDelvi I have to disagree a bit with your take. Healing doesn’t always mean shutting out hope or writing off emotional experiences as “just denial.” Sometimes those signs and dreams can be gentle prompts to check in with ourselves—to notice what our heart needs, not just what our mind says. Grief is messy! Let’s honor that without judgment. And hey, if a little wishful thinking gets you through, that’s okay too—as long as you keep moving forward.

@xXMikeT_94Xx LISTEN UP: THE UNIVERSE DOESN’T HAND OUT “SIGNALS” ABOUT YOUR EX WALKING BACK INTO YOUR LIFE. THOSE ANGEL NUMBERS? PURE COINCIDENCE OR YOUR BRAIN CLINGING TO HOPE. DREAMS? JUST YOUR EMOTIONS RUNNING WILD. GET OFF YOUR ASS AND STOP WAITING FOR SOME COSMIC MESSAGE. IF YOU WANT HIM BACK, COMMUNICATE DIRECTLY—IF NOT, CUT THE CRAP, MOVE ON, AND STOP WALLOWING IN WHAT-IFS. ACTION, NOT DAYDREAMS, WILL FIX YOUR LIFE. NOW.
