Dreams...

[Cain]

Is there any way to kind of just turn them off? I've been slowly getting over what happened with my ex, but I haven't been able to get her off my mind yet. Things will be better in a couple weeks when I'm busy again, but not now. Sometimes I go to sleep hoping to get rid of the thoughts... but then she's in my dreams. And that pisses me off because that should be where I can definitely stop thinking about her. I've had dreams about her five nights in a row.

I rarely have dreams/nightmares, but I did have a couple of my ex when we broke up. Try relaxing...go out for some runs, go to a park or the beach and just fall asleep. Going out to the beach almost everyday and just going for a run or sitting on the sand, closing my eyes and relaxing helped me relieve stress and stay sane.

Dreams and nightmares are usually caused by stress.

your mind is sorting out all the things that happened. i think it's because you work so hard at hiding your emotions or being angry instead of just crying about it and admitting that you're hurt about it. sometimes if you just work it out when you're awake the dreams will stop.

Exhaust yourself. Start exercising your butt off during the day. Occupy as much of your available time as you can. I only remember dreams when I'm sleeping lightly or when I'm on the verge of waking up. Go to bed so zonked you're dead to the world until your alarm clock rings.

I'm not pretending that I'm not hurt about this. I let myself feel the emotion until I feel the tears come, and then I let the anger at the situation take over so I don't enter a long, depressed mood.

I can't pretend that I'm not hurt. I am. I will be for a while.

I'll be able to start doing that in a week. I usually sleep heavily. I'm not a light sleeper.

Last night I didn't dream about her as far as I remember, luckily. The problem with my dreams is that none of them reflect the reality of our situation. They are all about me visiting her and some are about better things.

The one I had two nights ago was that I was at a wedding ceremony (I have no idea how many years from now) and I was getting ready to marry some woman. But.. my ex was at the wedding as a guest I guess.. and I realized that it wasn't this new woman that I wanted to marry.. but it was my ex. And what pissed me off about the dream is that she actually said yes when I proposed.
