Dreams - Please help, I'm losing sleep....?

Question

My boyfriend of five years broke up with me unexpectedly with little to no explanation. During the day, I am moving on, but every night I continue to have dreams that I beg him to get back together with me. It's undermining my ability to get over him and it's wrecking my sleep.

Is it true we can control our dreams? Do you know any way this could just stop? Is it something I am doing before I sleep (ex. food?)?

Thanks!!

Answer 1

it could easily be the food. i know from experience chinese food makes you dream substantially more when you sleep. to stop the dreams from coming you either need to be able to move on, or find something that your subconscious can focus on instead of your old boyfriend. to stop from dreaming all together, try making it as dark as possible in your room before you sleep, and don't eat for several hours before going to bed. ^_^ hope that helps

Answer 2

it's grief, sweetie.  surround yourself with people who love you and

support you.  There are products out there to help you sleep as well;

some are prescription only, you need to see a doctor for those.

there are herbal remedies that help with sleep.

I went to the doctor when my husband left a few years ago; I couldn't

sleep; I was a wreck, and felt like I wanted to jump out of my skin.

She gave me a prescription that was only for a few days, but it really

helped me get some rest, and then I was able to get back into my normal sleep pattern.  It takes time.  Find ways to rest.

God bless.

     this happened to me years ago, i  asked a therapist and she told me that  our minds continue to sort things out while we are awake and asleep.when you are awake your mind is busy dealing with other stuff, day to day things, you dont really deal with the breakup because its not the first thing on your mind, so when you go to sleep your brain  still trys to deal with it and work it out. she also said to confront the dream ie:: when you see your ex in the dream tell him your over him and want to move on. hopefully your brain will find closure and you can truly move on. otherwise i would suggest talking to a therapist

Answer 4

to mandy i am very sorry for what has happened, but by right you have every right to now why he broke up with you, and he is not man enough to say anything to you. you need to be strong and put your foot down as ask him why?

it may be also possible that he was seeing some one else on the side and was waiting for the opportunity to leave. if you now where he is or have his parents address, write him a nice long letter and put every thing you feel in that letter. make him feel really bad, and word your words really well. make sure your head is clear before you write the letter.

any way i reckon a much better person is waiting for you, and you deserve better.

with your letter don't be nusty, remember you are better than him and if you write the letter well , you can prove that you are better and smarter than him.

wish you well for the future

and take care of your self.

get some of your friends together for support, they will help you a bit

hope this helps you

good luck
