Hey!
I am new to this forum, just to make that clear XD

Right now I am going trought a break with a dear friend because I have had feelings for him for 2 years.

During the days I try my very best to work on myself, for myself. Focusing on other people, than thinking about him all the time. But the nights? I either dream about him or some other person from my past. It's been a week + a day since we decided to take a 3 months long break from eachother and I understand if the feeling of missing someone is very strong the first weeks.

Last night was one of the worse dreams. I dreamt that other people left me. That I onse again was friends with past people and that they left me again.

Why can't my brain let this go? Atleast the people I haven't spoken to since 2011-2012. I keep waking up and the feeling - sad, anxious, angry - of the dream lingers for atleast 2-3 hours if not sometimes the whole day.

What do I do? Is there any way to reduce the amount of dreams I have about them? I've tried lucid dreaming so maybe I could talk to them openly in the dream, just so I can get a stop to this so I can genuinly move on. But I am never aware that I am dreaming, it always feels so real.

Any advice?

Hi, it sounds like maybe you haven't grieved the lost friendships yet? The other people that you're dreaming about? Maybe by thinking about them more during the times you're awake, and feeling all the feelings you have about them, you'll help yourself move on from them. Good luck.

Can you post one of the dreams here? People in dreams some times mirror you, or they are parts of you. What were you doing with these people in the dreams ?, and what kind of setting did the dream take place in?
