nightporter Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 MY Girlfriend of 5 years left me nearly 8 months ago. We've been NC for about 6 months. Over the last 2 months I've been starting to feel like I'm getting over it. Then all of a sudden, this past week I've started dreaming about her every night AGAIN and it's bringing up all those old painful feelings from the break-up. This morning I woke up 3 hours before I actually needed to be up for work because I had a dream where she was telling me about the people she'd slept with since we broke-up. I felt too sick to go back to sleep. WTF is wrong with me? Why can't I just let her go?
wergotproblems Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 the first week that I found out she had a new bf, I dreamed about her for 2 weeks straight. I think it's just natural instincts relapsing. Something about our primal nature. Or maybe something triggered this feeling.
David87 Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 Two nights ago i dreamed my ex girlfriend who left me 2 years ago. This happened alot in the past 2 months. I'm guessing that it happens because the feelings were intense, and the breakup happened with to many questions.
melell Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 I remember a months or so ago (after not having thought of my ex in quite awhile) I had my first ever dream that my ex and I were back together. The night after I had a dream that my ex called me and was being absolutely crazy and doing all the things I hated him doing. Haven't had an ex dream since. I think trying to make sense out of an ex dream is as difficult as trying to make sense out of any dream. We can't stop them, but I promise they wont be as intense, or often, forever. Ride it out
notthathard Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 Your subconscious mind is saying that you still have some sort of attachment to her. You are probably still thinking about her here and there. Have you been having anxiety about her hooking up with other people or something? The more you dream about it the more it will bring up pain and the more you will let go, it's just the way our brains deal with recovery from breakup and other life events.

The thing is, I've known she was seeing another guy since the day we broke up. I thought I was getting over it but now I seem to be going back to square one with it all. I guess it will just take more time. Thanks for the replies
