      Yes, totally normal! I’ve had exactly the same and it left me feeling really disturbed for a few days afterwards. I’m further from having left than you, but randomly had a dream recently that I was thinking about getting back together with him. Never, ever would I even consider that so it really confused me what was going on in my brain. I try to think of it as our brains are still trying to process what has gone on, but it’s shocking when it happens so be sure to look after yourself and do what you need to to feel better again x

      Dear Worrywart

      He smallest of daily thought processing can trigger the most extreme of dramatic dreams!

      Thats just dreaming for you. Only dreams.

      After abuse, certainly dreams can become a lot more extreme. Often only after having left our get the space to really start processing what we’ve suffered, which can be really hard.

      Warmest wishes

      i think we process everything weve been thinking about over the day and in our dreams (especially after something traumatic) its emphasised. i personally felt it brought out more feelings and that meant that i had to deal with them and learn to cope with these feelings i often did not want to face. i think it is part of our healing tbh xxxx

      Dear Worrywart

      There’s certainly is a dfference between a thought passing through our minds and our decions around it. So dreams do not represent what we would do in real life.

      There is also nothing wrong with feelingver angry and upset with people and in dreams this is ‘repesented by images’, not exactly what youd rationally think or do!

      Try to give yourself a break,and look after yourself.

      Warmest wishes
