Mental Health: It sure sounds like this is something you need to work with a psychotherapist about. There is nothing we can tell you about how to get better. We cannot change your dreams. There is little valid information in medicine about dreams. I would recommend you get to a good therapist.

Symbolic: This is not unusual. Our dream content pulls from our life events. If sexual interactions with your ex-boyfriend were exciting/ pleasant - then when the brain is dealing with sexuality it would make sense that your previous lover would represent this in dreams. You may have no interest in having a relationship with him currently but your brain still remembers sex with him. >>.
