Summary
This dream reflects a process of reconciliation and spiritual cleansing with your ex-boyfriend. The argument transforming into prayer represents healing and mutual forgiveness. The white vomit symbolizes the purging of negative emotions, past hurts, and toxic elements from the relationship, indicating a profound spiritual and emotional detoxification.
Interpretation
The dream begins with conflict but evolves into reconciliation and prayer, which is a powerful spiritual symbol. In Islamic dream interpretation, arguing with someone and then making peace indicates that unresolved issues will be resolved and misunderstandings will be cleared. The act of praying together represents a spiritual bond and mutual desire for each other's well-being, even after separation. This shows that despite past conflicts, there remains a foundation of care and respect between you.

The white vomit is the most significant symbol in this dream. According to classical Islamic dream interpretation, vomiting generally represents repentance, purging of sins, or releasing something that has been troubling the dreamer. When the vomit is white in color, it carries positive connotations of purity and cleansing. Ibn Sirin explains that vomiting can mean returning something that was wrongfully taken, or releasing burdens that one has been carrying. The white color specifically indicates that what is being released is not sinful or evil, but rather represents the purification of the heart and soul. The fact that both of you vomit the same white substance suggests a shared emotional experience and mutual release of past pain.
(Muhammad Ibn Sirin, Dreams and Interpretations, Islam)
The traditional sources provide specific guidance on vomiting in dreams. According to Ibn Sirin's interpretations, vomiting can have different meanings depending on the content and context. When one vomits something white or pure, it often represents repentance from sin, releasing oneself from forbidden things, or satisfying debts (whether material or emotional). The dream text states: "If one vomits mucus in his dream, it means that he will voluntarily repent from wrongdoing." And importantly: "Vomiting in a dream also has positive connotations for a poor person, but has negative ones for a rich person." The mutual vomiting in your dream suggests that both parties are releasing emotional burdens and purifying themselves from past negativity.
(Muhammad Ibn Sirin, Dreams and Interpretations, Islam)
From a psychological perspective, the dream represents the processing of unresolved feelings about your past relationship. The argument symbolizes the lingering conflict in your subconscious mind, while the reconciliation and prayer represent your deeper need for closure and healing. Freud would interpret the vomiting as a cathartic release of repressed emotions and unprocessed feelings about the relationship. The white color of the vomit suggests that these are not dark or shameful feelings, but rather pure emotions that need to be expressed and released. The mirroring effect (both of you vomiting the same substance) indicates psychological projection and the recognition that both parties carry similar emotional burdens from the relationship.
(Sigmund Freud — The Interpretation of Dreams, Psychology)
The floor being covered with white substance is also significant. In dream symbolism, the floor represents the foundation of your life and your grounding in reality. The white substance covering it suggests that this purification process is affecting the very foundation of how you view this past relationship. It's a complete emotional cleansing that leaves no area untouched. This thorough purging indicates that you are ready to fully release the emotional residue of this relationship and move forward with a clean slate.
The progression of the dream - from conflict to prayer to purging - follows a natural spiritual and emotional healing journey. First comes confrontation of issues (the argument), then comes understanding and forgiveness (the explanation and prayer), and finally comes release (the vomiting). This sequence suggests that your subconscious mind is working through a complete cycle of healing. The fact that this happens mutually (he prays for you, you pray for him, he vomits, you vomit) indicates that this is not a one-sided process but a shared experience of letting go.
