Why do I wake up thinking about my ex?

I believe people dream of and wake up thinking of their ex because they are so used to having them around that it is practically habit to think about them. Of course you are going to miss them, especially the little subtle things about them. You may be subconsciously thinking about them.

Because he/she is your ex. He/she is important to you. He/she shared a bond with you and he/she is going to remain in your heart forever.

There are periods in my life when, for a time, I'll wake up day after day, thinking about people who've been in my life and have since departed my life. I miss them, or feel complicit in the cause of their absence. It makes me feel weak inside. I have to actively remind myself that failure breeds strength. Our bond may have failed, but it made me stronger, and hopefully, them too.

Thinking about people we care or used to care about is natural - because at some point, we used to care about them! There is no shame in thinking about your ex.

maybe because you still have 'something'(problem, feeling, etc) between your and your ex that still hasn't over yet.

Mostly because you go to be thinking about him/her. Usually, missing him/her. This in turn drives your subconscious to recall the times spent together and more.

Because your ex was a big part of your life. It is always hard to get over someone who had a big impact, and sometimes, even after years you can still wake up and think about someone who's been long gone. Ask yourself if it's a bad thing thinking about him/her and make a desicion based on the outcome.

Sounds like you still think about them. It depends on what the thoughts are. If you're thinking about why they're not in bed next to you, there's a possibility that you miss them. If you're angry and thinking about the break-up, maybe you need answers and closure.....

because this is someone you had gotten used to be around, they became a part of you somehow so trust that it will take time for you to completely stop thinking about them

They're still crucial to your thinking. Your ex was once someone very important. This is a natural outcome and will ease with time.
