Recurring dreams
Hi everyone,
I was in an abusive relationship 8 years ago. Later I found out it was all kinds of abuse, and although I was able to help myself on physical and sexual parts, psychological part seems to have stuck with me. And that he was a narcissist.
Lately I have been having dreams almost a few nights a week, where I'm back together with him and plotting to leave. Events are different every time but the feeling and the theme are the same.
These recurring dreams are new. It would happen every now and then, but lately it's too many. I feel like I'm reliving the last few months of that relationship over and over again, a few nights every week.
Has anyone had a similar experience? Any insights on what's happening?

Your dreams may reflect unresolved psychological trauma from your past abusive relationship. They may indicate that there are lingering emotions or experiences that your subconscious mind is trying to process. These dreams could be a way for your mind to work through the trauma and find closure
Hey, thanks so much for your insight. I figured some recent events and the anxiety I built around them were causing my brain to connect back to those past experiences. I guess I should work on both past and present right now, regulate my feelings and aim to reach an inner resolution. I'm fascinated by how our brains work ð«¢
