I keep seeing my ex-boyfriend in my dreams and intrusive thoughts. This wouldn't be an issue if it weren't going on for almost three weeks straight. Background: When I was 18, I got into my first relationship with a seemingly nice boy. He turned out to only be motivated by sex and dumped me after six months of dating. After the initial breakup, he kept inserting himself in my life, once trying to convince me to be FWB and another time catfishing me and trying to get photos from me while being in a relationship with his current gf. His Gf is crazy btw, has violently threatened me on two occasions, recently (9 months ago) for even being in the same place they were at a public fair. I keep track of each time in case I decide to pursue a restraining order against her. For obvious reasons, I don't talk or communicate with him in any way. In the dreams we talk, sometimes confronting all the manipulative and not great things he did in our relationship and him with remorse and other times we talk about how we used to be. Before we dated and in the very early stages of our relationship, we were friends and I enjoyed being near him. It's been two years since we dated and I have no idea why he's coming up. I've had so much therapy to know he isn't who I want in my life and yet my dreams are a different story. I don't know what any of this means and frankly I'm tired of him appearing and not understanding why.

TL;DR: Ex boyfriend two years ago has been appearing in my dreams for almost three weeks straight. Annoying and not sure why its happening.
