Why do I keep dreaming about my ex even months after the breakup?

Question

It has been 5 months since my breakup but I still dream about my ex almost every night. Sometimes we are back together, sometimes we are fighting. I wake up feeling sad every morning. Why does this keep happening and when will it stop?

Dreams are your brain processing unresolved emotions. If you are still dreaming about your ex it means your subconscious is still working through the grief even if your conscious mind thinks you have moved on.

It will likely stop when you start having new significant experiences and relationships that give your brain new material to process. Until then it is a normal part of healing.
