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.

Time is probably the best way. You can practice meditation if you really want them to go away. It's a matter of training your brain to know when you're asleep so that you can lucid dream. Maybe spend ten minutes before going to bed focusing on how you are in control of your mind. Tell yourself that your subconscious and unconscious are not in charge by consciously willing yourself to be more aware of your dreams. When you wake up, spend ten minutes thinking about your dreams and recalling them. This usually helps me bring awareness to my subconscious so that it doesn't come up when I'm unconscious and vulnerably asleep.

@AnnaKarenina I'll definitely try that. I'll do anything at this point to get rid of my dreams.
