How do I stop these reoccurring dreams?

For months I've been having reoccurring dreams and IDK what to do. I'm always lucid dreaming about my former college best friend. The setting of the dream tends to change but most dreams we are getting food and I end up arguing with her. Long story short I cut her out of my life
because she wasn't there when I needed her and was very fake. Although she tried making things right but my mind was already set. I'm still hurt and haven't talked to her since August.

@UltimateZero I didn't either ,PTSD and some past event were haunting me
I only took them a short time
now I don't dream at all ,,suits me fine

@rckt148 That totally makes sense but I don't have PTSD

@UltimateZero you don't need to have PTSD to have nightmares
the meds works on the chemicals in your brain that allows you to dream
Suppress them for a short time and see if it works
It helped me ,I do unfortunately need meds for pain ,but as a rule I don't take anything very long unless I need it really bad .
I take no meds for depression now and I am fine
We all need help once in a while ,and its reasonable not wanting to take meds
but you may not need them long ,its just a suggestion but I do hope your back to resting normal soon

@rckt148 Honestly I've been having these dreams much less but in the first month that I stopped talking to her it was pretty bad. And last night's dream was too vivid that it bothered me. Thank you for the advice! If it
gets any worse I'll consider taking something but I doubt the doctors would give me anything.
