Thread: Dreaming constantly about dead dog

I used to have a border collie named Chance. We had to put him down almost a year ago.

almost every night I have very very vivid dreams about him. It is just dreams of us doing what we always used to do. Going for walking, playing fetch, snuggling on the couch....
I look forward to going to sleep every night in hopes that I will have a dream about him. They are so real, I swear I can feel his fur. Sometimes I wake up thinking he is still alive, only to be dissipointed when I realize it was just a dream.

Is this normal what so ever? I have a history of an anxiety disorder, but I have not been on medication for 5 years or more.

I LOVE having these dreams alomst every night, and I never want to forget about him... but I am not sure its good for my mind to think about it every night.
