Why do I wake up thinking about my ex?

It's because you probably love him/her. You should go talk to that person and it will feel better for you. I feel you I have been there where you are now. When me and my gf broke up.

Because there could be something missing something you miss that they did it doesn’t have to be something big that they’d do even just small things they’d do is enough to make you think about them

Well there can be various reason... For example the breakup was just a few days ago and its memory is "fresh". Or maybe the break up was a bad idea and your brain already realized it. You started to miss him maybe and the time what you spent with him. You can still love him, you just can't admit it for yourself. Who knows? It is a hard question and i think you should figure out the answer all alone. Maybe you can contact him and talk about it, but it depends on how the relationship ended. Whatever you do, i support you.

The notable people in our past are part of who we are because they were are a notable part of our lives. It's not uncommon to be reminded of them or the effect they had on us. Especially if something familiar brings back memories. Of course if there was a deeper meaning behind those thoughts only you could truly explore that. Because it all depends on your connection with your ex and how you feel about them. Just keep in mind that thinking of someone simply means you were reminded of them. If there's more to it, your feelings would likely reflect it.

In my personal experience it has been due to a lack of closure, or unresolved feelings or issues you had with them. Breakups can be traumatic, especially if you feel like you’ve been wronged or it wasn’t your decision and felt blind sided by it. These emotions are difficult to process, you mourn the loss of a relationship and it can be scary to think about being on your own again. Change brings uncertainty and can cause anxiety because it’s unfamiliar. Maybe you’re waking up thinking about your ex because that the person is familiar. Maybe it’s because there are things you wish you could have said or done, situations you may have handled differently. Hindsight is always 20/20.

Dreams are complicated, yet interesting. Most of the times, dreams are an absurd amalgamation of the events in past, your present and your thoughts. If you find yourself thinking about someone while waking up, them it is most likely that you have slept thinking about them. That person must have done something to form an impreasion(positive or negative) on your life. You can scan the past few days and try to find out more about the connection. As on my personal part, I would not ponder over it much. These things are part and parcel of our life. They happen, and then we seem to forget most of them eaisly, as the day passes. Hope you'll find your solution. Take care

I believe this has more to do with a subconscious mechanism than necessarily with feelings per se. There is a constant need of rewire our brain after a significant change in our lives or ourselves. It’s almost like having to constantly update the OS or the apps on smartphones, computers etc. to get newer versions with improvements, new features and bugs fixed. When we have deep feelings for someone and we’re used to that person being a significant part of our lives, there’s still many patterns sticked to our brains that we can’t just “turn it off” whenever we wish. We’re not only used to have that person in our life but also to think about her, to talk to her in the same way we used to, to see her, make plans, finding things that we’d like to share with that person etc. This takes a lot of space in our brain and it takes time and effort to normalize the idea that the person is gone, and make your brain adopt new patterns that doesn’t envolve this person in particular. The time it takes to achieve this varies a lot from person to person, but it is possible for all of us. You still need to heal completely, so try to be patient and kind with yourself. Don’t take the blame for feeling these things, and do your best to learn how to cope and overcome this. This isn’t permanent.

There are many reasons as to why this could happen! ◆︎ You are still not over your ex. Even if you have had a relationship after, it could be a rebound. Meaning you were with them to forget about your ex. Even though you break up with someone, you need to remember that feelings usually linger. ◆︎ It could also be that you haven't allowed yourself to grieve over the relationship (not necessarily the person). Sometimes you miss the memories and the future it could have been instead. ◆︎ How did the relationship end? If it ended poorly, perhaps your brain is trying to find ways to protect you in the future from these situations or understand why it happened. I could be wrong, especially since I'm not aware of the circumstance, and there's many other reasoning's out there. But I hope you manage to get past this. :) Best of luck.

Because they were part of your life and we are magically connected through chords to all the people we've been in relationship with. We process memories in the night through dreams and in the morning it is when our unconscious is the most visible because we did not yet got into our busy day. Thinking of them means nothing more then thinking of your ex. That's what the mind does.

The reason behind this is that you sleep thinking about your ex. Our mind works like that. Think about geography, you'll wake up remembering that. Think about exams, you'll wake up thinking about that. It's ok to think like that. It'll be okay. Keep reminding yourself that this is gonna pass. And try to think about other things when going to bed. Or you can also try meditation while lying down in bad. You can turn on some meditating music. It'll help you. See, if you are willing to do something, you can make it happen. Make sure you are making right choices. All the best!
