I have been having recurring dreams (at least 3-4 per week) about my ex-husband. The situations/settings are all different, but the recurring thing is that he keeps professing his love for me, trying to initiate intimacy, etc. Also, his new wife is often in the dreams, either trying to impede his attempts towards me or simply crying about it (and when she cries, I am always mean to her even though I don't want anything to do with my ex. I am not a cruel person in my waking life.). It's driving me nuts to be constantly dreaming about my ex-husband, especially these sorts of dreams. In "real life" we are only in contact at the times we exchange our children, and while we are "friendly" it's only for our kids' benefit. He has made comments reminiscing about our relationship in the past, but not very recently. Any ideas on why I'm dreaming these dreams? Is there any way to make them stop?

Is there anything going on in your life now that is making you feel unsatisfied, or that you have made a wrong choice?

Not having to do with divorcing your husband, but just a general "what if?" and feeling of regret about something in your life.

Your ex-husband could generally represent things that might have been.
