Why do I keep getting nightmares about my parents?

Hi

I live on my own and during my childhood years my parents argued a lot. There was some physical abuse both from my mom and dad. My mom insulted my dad so much that he couldn't handle it and hurt my mom physically.

I don't live with them anymore and they still argued but are no longer physically abusive to one another. They started going to church and changing but for some reason sometimes I have dreams about my dad hitting my mom. And I get so sad when I have those dreams and scared, like I can't do anything, like helpless.

I want to stop having these nightmares but I've had them numerous times.

Why do I have these dreams if my dad changed and is no longer abusive to my mom? And I'm not experiencing or witnessing any abuse?
