Why Do I Have Nightmares About My Exes?

My husband and I have been together for a little over a year and married for 6 months. Yes, we kinda jumped in and got married fast, but hey, we are older adults and we knew we had both found the right person. I honestly have never been happier in my life than I am right now. He is what I have always wanted in a husband my entire life and I hope and believe he feels the same way about me. However, for some reason, I still find myself having nightmares on occasion about either my ex-husband or my ex boyfriend. I have no idea why this is.
In the dreams I am always angry at them and trying to get away from them and get back to where my husband is. It is so weird that I have similar nightmares about two different people. When I wake up, I am always mad that I had the dream again and I am feeling angry towards the exes all over again. Why on earth would I do this? Even if I had never met my husband, I would never have considered reconciling with either of them. I ended both relationships and was single for a little while before I met my husband. So, believe me when I say I do not still have feelings for either of them. Have any of you ever had nightmares about an ex even though you were currently in a happy, healthy relationship?
