Need to say whats on my mind.

First off, sorry to hear about the breakup.

That is the part I am gonna focus on because I haven't played MM, and also it's just a videogame, so the likelihood of a character coming to kill you is...

Anyway, the girlfriend. The first thing you need to look at is if she had any violent tendencies. If she did, does she own or have a way to gain access to a gun or some sort of object to hurt you? Beyond that, does she have a way to physically get to you to inflict injury? Were the terms of the breakup bad and anger-harboring?

And, even if the answer to every single one of those questions is yes (and I hope it isn't), the biggest one is does she even have the guts to actually badly injure or kill her ex (you)? It takes a LOT to bring yourself to do something like that.

I'm not asking you to actually write answers out to this stuff (but if you do want to, nobody is gonna stop you). I am just trying to give you some things to think about, to hopefully help you rationalize the dreams.

Plasma beat me to it.
Try to rationalize your nightmares. It tends to make them a lot less scary or impactful, and they'll likely start going away.

Doesn't ALWAYS work (in my case, i've had nightmares for over a year now), but most of the time, it works. So it's good to give it a try.

If not, get a friend to dress up in a knight outfit and stand guard outside your door to protect you.

Rationalization can help a lot. I'll give three examples:

1) When I was younger, I had a recurring dream where I was laying down on a boardwalk in the rain at night. Next thing you know, a ice cream truck is coming straight at me and is about to run my face over when I wake up.

--Why the hell would I be laying down on a boardwalk at night in the pouring rain?
--Why the hell wouldn't I move out of the way of the ice cream truck?
--Why the FUCK is an ice cream truck even on a boardwalk?!

2) Something to the likes of I murdered my dad, I think I ran him over with a bus or stabbed him or something.

--I don't have the balls to do that. Hell, I even have a hard time bringing myself to fight someone (I HAVE, but they were short pussy fights).
--Where the hell would I get a bus?

3)Girlfriend goes to party, hooks up with some random tool in a hot tub while I am there watching in shock.

--Confronted her about it, of course it would "never happen".
--I made sure she didnt go to parties, which made sure it wouldn't happen (I am not the partying type plus I guess I didn't trust her much anyway)

(She was a bitch, lol. Not with her anymore.)

So tho se are three nightmares. Some would affect me longer than others. The ice cream truck one was more of a wtf am I dreaming thing. The killing my dad had me down for like a day. The (ex)girlfriend thing had me down for like two days before I got over myself. Given the trust issue the last one was hard to rationalize, but the other two, I looked at them and said "that wouldnt ever happen." and that was that.

By all means, if you need to go back on your antidepressants and they're gonna help, then do it. But if you stay off of them and you're able to get over everything by yourself (or with friends or something, but without the outside influence of drugs or alcohol or such), you're gonna be able to look back and get a damn good feeling about it.

I will rationalize my dreams. I don't think she has the guts to do something with me. I'm gonna put what has happened to me in real life behind me. (I don't do drugs nor alcohol. I stay away from that stuff). I appreciate of giving me advice .
