Fwiw it’s been a decade plus since I dumped my first serious boyfriend and I still occasionally have dreams about him (and like you my response to this oh god no no no no). I know it’s disquieting but try not to let it get you down, brains are just fricken weird.

Thank you. That actually does make me feel a lot better. I know I still have some hang-ups about our relationship because of a lot of personal stuff I don’t really want to get into, but I almost felt like my own brain was trying to trick me into wanting him back or something. It’s irritating, but knowing that it happens to other people does help a lot. 

Have you ever tried lucid dreaming? If you have a knack for it, you could potentially change any shitty dream you have into something awesome.

I’ve tried it but I don’t seem to have the hang of it get. I know I’m dreaming. I know there are things going on that I don’t like. But I just can’t seem to actually change anything. It’s a pain in the ass let me tell you.
