FlipMonkey Posted March 14, 2016 Posted March 14, 2016 So the last week or so, I've been feeling somewhat good about rebuilding my life and moving on since my last breakup, but the last few nights dreams of my Ex are just popping into my head, and it's making me a bit off in the mornings when I get up. They're just dreams of everyday things, like hanging out and doing things together. It's a bit sucky because I really feel like I'm making progress, and my mind just interrupts and hits me back. I just take away from it that my subconscious is still processing things, and this is just part of the process of moving on. Anyone have experience of dreams of the Ex like this, and any advice/information they can give?
Murek Posted March 14, 2016 Posted March 14, 2016 I never had dreams of my ex, more so restless nights and Hypersomnia. My advice for you - embrace what is happening but do not falter, do not resist these emotions coming to you for this will propel you into further self reflection.
Dontfindme Posted March 14, 2016 Posted March 14, 2016 I have been dreaming of my ex for the past 2 weeks, every night. Waking up to reality sucks, because the dreams seem so normal - like you, I dream of normal activities like hanging out, driving around, etc. Usually I used to dream of an ex when I was healing from them, finally getting over them. But I know I'm not over my ex in the least bit, so this is very confusing to me. I haven't found any solution other than to just push past it, and continue on with my day.
truthtripper Posted March 14, 2016 Posted March 14, 2016 Yes, I've experienced this. It's like when a loved one dies, you keep seeing them even though they're dead and gone. My dreams were consumed with my ex. As you say, it's processing. Over time it will gradually dissipate.
thespacey1 Posted March 15, 2016 Posted March 15, 2016 I had a dream that my ex killed a guy he knew, then turned the gun on himself. But I screamed telling him "don't do it! Don't kill yourself!". That's when I woke up. I was truly off for a few days after that. I think I cried when I woke because it was more like a nightmare than a regular dream.
Author FlipMonkey Posted March 18, 2016 Author Posted March 18, 2016 Thanks all. It's gives strength to know this is pretty normal, and appears that it is what I suspect - simply processing and acceptance.
