What does it mean when you dream of someone you want to let go of?

The meaning of this dream is unique to the individual dreamer's situation. It might also depend on the identity of the person giving the message and the loved one in the dream. If the loved one is recently deceased, or if the dreamer has divorced or broken up with that loved one, the dream could represent the dreamer's own mind telling the dreamer to stop clinging to a relationship that no longer exists.

.... Similarly, if the dreamer has a crush on a celebrity or some other unavailable person who does not return the dreamer's affection, the message is that the dreamer needs to face reality and move on to other more sensible relationships.

.... Alternatively, if the the dreamer has an active, healthy relationship with a living "loved one" who returns the dreamer's affection, the dream could illustrate some sort of guilt or doubt the dreamer feels about that relationship.
