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
