Is there any way you can control what you dream?

Question

Lately, ever since my boyfriend broke up with me, literally every night i have some sort of dream about him where we get back together, which just makes it so much harder to get over (and not to mention, sad to have to wake up!)

I really, really, want to stop having these dreams. What can i do?

Answer 1

I often dream about things that are bothering me during my waking hours.  Your wounds need to heal, and that takes time.  It's unfortunate that the dreams are making it harder.  It could help if you tell someone about your dreams or write about them in a journal.  

To help the healing process along, do things that you enjoy, spend time with people who lift your spirits, take up a hobby, and don't be afraid to lean on your friends and family for support.
