Dreams don't really have any hidden meanings. It simply means that your memory has been triggered by something that brings out the dream you have.

Your dreams are reflecting your emotions and thoughts. If your Ex has been constantly on your mind, it is natural to dream about her as well. But your repetitive dreams may be trying to draw your attention to something more. Pay attention to what is happening with your Ex in your dreams. Has she moved on in those dreams? Are you chasing her as she disappears in the distance? Your dreams maybe telling you something that is obvious, but you are refusing to admit with your waking mind.

As soon as you become aware that you are dreaming you can start controlling the dream. All you have to do is imagine different situations or people you want to see. However, you wont be able to control everything, your subconsious will just have to share with you. The biggest problem is trying not to wake up as soon as you realize youre dreaming though.Dreams are products of the subconscious mind, whereas the intention to control rises from the conscious, waking mind. Consequently, it is not only difficult to exert "control" over dreams, but any dreams that become "lucid" or consciously controlled, are no longer authentic dreams but something more like imaginings or daydreams.
