What Causes Me To Dream About My Ex Boyfriend All The Time?

How do you stop dreaming about an ex? I am a happily married woman of three years and been with my husband for six years. My Ex is also happily married. My ex and I broke up seven years ago, and I do not understand why I continue to dream about him. I do not speak with him and have not seen him in over 3 years. About twice a week I find myself dreaming we were "missing" each other and get back together OR he comes to visit me. I rarely think of him except on occasion, such as hearing an old song we used to like or going to a place we had visited before, but this doesn't cause me to miss him, its just like, an "Oh, Bryan and I used to blast this song on the radio" kind of moment and I may smile, but that is it.Please expain to me why this dream keeps reoccuring and how to make them stop. I feel guilty and confused in the mornings after one of these dreams...it makes me feel like I am cheating. Thank you!!! Kenzie

HI
Thanks for using healthcare magic

It happens due to unconscious feeling for someone. Memory about ex-boyfriend would stay for long and due to those memory you are getting all these dreams. There is nothing wrong in them. When we like someone, we want that person in our life and if we do not get him, then dream about him stays for long. Same could be reason in your case.

Thanks
