Dreaming of my ex every night

[jerk chicken]

I am getting so so sick of waking up feeling depressed because ive dreamt of my ex usually its romantic dreams or hes just in them randomly, its been happening every night for over a week, we been broken up 2 and a half weeks, and had no contact except one line on msn. Anyone else having this, doesnt it make it so much worse??

Ive tried focusing on different stuff before bed but it wont work

I haven't been dreaming about my ex but I wake every morning around four and spend the nexr few hours thinking about her. It sucks. :sad:

Do you talk to him on msn right before you go to sleep? I notice that with me sometimes, whatever I do or watch before I sleep, I sometimes have dreams associating it. For example once during the summer, I watched a show on ABC family called The secret life of an American Teenager (if you don't know what it's about, it's about a 15 year old girl who gets pregnant after hooking up with a guy once). After the show, I went to sleep and had a dream that my friends told me they lost their virginities. In the same dream, my other friend adopted a baby lol

 

Also, a few days ago, I had experience of being a week late with my period, so I thought there was a possibility that I was pregnant (but now I know that I'm not). Since it's been on my mind, I had a dream that I was pregnant lol.

 

But anyway yeah, if that's the case, maybe you should try NC with your ex for a while, and don't talk to him on MSN anymore. That may help since it seems like you are not over your ex yet.

I went NC back in sept, and still had dreams about my ex. I think its just how it is, and i dont think you can stop it, though i tried. Its a horrible feeling, and makes your feel worse each time.

we are NC! he said one line to me on msn since thebreak up thats all the contact weve had. It sucks so so much i cant get him out of my head.

gosh, i used sleep to escape from the pain of my divorce.... i couldn't imagine having my husband in my dreams every night.

 

i'm really sorry you have to go through this.....hopefully this will stop for you soon.....

i sort of know what you are feeling because i've also been dreaming of my ex A LOT lately but it's because i am thinking about him all day and night

 

Maybe reading a book or watching a movie before bed would help?

This stage will pass as you come to accept the breakup more and more, I promise.

 

I was haunted by dreams of him for nearly two months,now I rarely dream of him, and if I do, I don't wake up depressed like I used to.

 

Try to bring your issues with your ex into your concsious during the day, that way you'll probably be less inclined to dream about him at night as your subconcsious takes over.

I went through that too... it sucks! It eventually stops though.

I usually dream that he is sleeping next to me, he is holding me in my sleep like he always used to, then I wake up alone and realize what's keeping me warm is my... blanket

I hate waking up

[secretness87]

Yeah hopefully it will go away soon. Over time it will heal. Just surround yourself with friends and activities and try not to think about him.

 

I recently have had dreams about my ex too, none of them romantic, but I just see him in my dreams. It's kind of annoying
