conmorse Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 This past week I've had several dreams about my ex and I constantly keep waking up feeling miserable. It's as if I can't get a break from thinking about her even when I'm sleeping.. It's been 2 months since the BU and 2 months of N/C, is this normal?
InTheGrips Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 I don't know if it's normal but I have experienced the same. 4-5 seperate dreams a night.
True Gent Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 (edited) It's perfectly normal. I dream of my ex very regularly and I'm approaching 2 months post BU now. I think it's just your mind trying to make sence of your situation. My dreams usually occur if I go to sleep when she's on my mind. I've found getting exhausted before bed helps. Exercise your mind and body to get yourself tired. It goes a long way to a more pleasant sleep. Edited January 18, 2014 by True Gent
margot13 Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 Are they strange dreams?? I dreamt that my ex and I were getting married but we broke up 5 minutes before the ceremony. I think that means something
Kevin_D Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 All my dreams are happy dreams, so I always wake up disappointed. I don't know what that means.
Mondmellonw Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 I am not having dreams, I am having nightmares. The first three weeks I had these nightmares every night. Now I don't have them with that much regularity. (I had one last night, but my sleeping-time is going back to normal). It's a normal thing. Your conscience is making an effort to understand what happened and why, and who you are (and where you are) now... They will fade away with time.
mantlefan Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 My sleep is also really messed up, especially right before I actually drift off. I don't remember much about my dreams except that they seem to involve my ex, sometimes I am back with her in them, and usually I wake up really disappointed or in a hot sweat and very confused.
H245 Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 Mine are mostly nightmares of my ex...I keep re-living the painful memories in my dream of all the bad times. I wake up 3-4 times a night in a cold sweat and and upset that I can't let go
John83 Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 Im also getting this. Just last night dreamed it was snowy and icy and we were all happy in our first house and me ex and kids went outside and were sliding on the ice and laughing and having fun. Waking up from that you have a few peacefull second then reality hits and is like having all life sucked out of you
sportzhl24 Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 Remember, they're just dreams. One time I dreamt that I was a dinosaur taking a giant poo in the jungle. When I woke up I realized that I am not a dinosaur and I cannot take poops that big. And I don't live in the jungle 1
Author conmorse Posted January 18, 2014 Author Posted January 18, 2014 It's hard to remember all of them, but i remember one where I was hanging out with a friend and she randomly showed up. Then my friend asked me if I wanted him to talk to her for me. I guess this is because how the relationship ended, I was blindsided and haven't spoken to her in 2 months and still have questions to this day. Another dream is me finding out stuff shes been doing through social media, that shes with someone else now. I deleted her off facebook and instagram a long time ago and I have no idea what she's been doing other than hearing from friends that she deleted all pictures of me and her.
Wings Of Love Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 I'm 6 months post BU, 3 months NC, and I still dream of him 3 or 4 times a week. He's on my mind a lot during the day though, so that would probably be why. Probably normal for a fairly recent breakup. I was still having dreams about my first ex up to 3 years after we split though...not so sure that was normal.
Hoosfoos Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 I get them too, they're happy dreams, and I usually wake up f*cking heartbroken.
