Why do I keep dreaming about the same person

I know as Orthodox Christians we shouldn’t try to interpret dreams and get stuck on them. Is it wrong to ask God why He permits/sends us certain dreams? I broke up with an ex about 3 months ago. This past week I sort of made a conscious decision to try to leave them in the past. I would pray for them, mourn over them and the relationship consistently ever since we broke up. Now that the rose colored glasses are starting to come off I can see how the relationship was borderline abusive at times and the trauma I experienced while being with the person. I wouldn’t say the realization made me angry, but rather gave me sort of a boost to really try to finally move on and remove this person from my conscious mind and internal world. This would include maybe not praying for them as much, or at all. It doesn’t come from a place of hate, Im just trying to move forward. Within this past week I would literally dream about my ex every night vs barely dreaming about them during this 3 month period post break up. Is God trying to tell me to not stop praying for this person? Or hold on to hope that things will change between us? I know I sound a bit immature, maybe someone with more experience can give me their input ?Idk, im confused and kind of worn out. It seems like when I have the courage and motivation to move on, his memory still haunts me even in my sleep. Any advice? Thanks.🙏
