I keep seeing my ex in my dream. I don't really think about him in day or before sleeping. But I continuously see him in my dream. We broke up about 4 years ago and after that we haven't met once. Why is this happening and what should I do?
Answer:
Try substituting his memories with the dhikr of Allah
Say this dua
Urwah ibn al-Zubayr reported: Aisha, may Allah have pleased with her, would say when she intended to sleep,
اللَّـهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ رُؤْيَا صَالِحَةً صَادِقَةً غَيْرَ كَاذِبَةٍ نَـافِعَةً غَيْرَ ضَارَّةٍ
“O Allah, I ask you for good and true dreams, not false dreams, beneficial and not harmful.” When she said this, they knew that she would not say anything more until she awoke in the morning or in the middle of the night.
