What causes me to still have nightmares about abusive ex? Why do I think I see him around town and feel fear?

Q: I still have nightmares about an abusive ex. It’s been over 6 years since that all happened, I have happily remarried and moved on. I really thought I worked my issues out regarding that horrible experience, so I don’t get why his memory still haunts my dreams.In the dreams it is usually a similar scenario, he locates me where I am living and is plotting to kill me…at some point he and I are face to face and he’s smiling as to not alert me that he is there to do harm and I feel compelled to act as though I do not know he has been watching me or is going to kill me because I do not want to set him off…I act casual so that I can escape the situation and plot a way to find safety. Sometimes he shoots me in the end and I die real slowly, at times I don’t die, but I rarely escape him and his anger.In real life I mistake other men for being him sometimes like in stores. And I feel this fear until I realize it is not him.Is this normal? How long does this sort of thing usually last?I do not live in fear of him everyday or anything like that. I am a pretty well rounded person and one who strives to face life and deal with things in a healthy way. It’s mainly my dreams that he is able to still haunt.
