thankfully meds make me not remember my dreams

Odd that you say that - I just had a strange strange one last nite and this had never happend- wasnt a nightmare..just a odd bad dream

I'm sorry you're having dreams/nightmares, Tami!~! Possibly how you are partially facing the "healing process" of it all.... Hopefully you can get closure soon... I'm here for you!~! "Keep Your Chin Up!~!"

All of the time. The thing is they often scare me a bit. A few years ago while he was overseas I had a terrible dream that something happened to him. i was unable (obviously) to talk to him and when he was able to call a few days later i was relieved to hear his voice. I told him about the dream and his response was "oh shit" i didnt mean to scare him and thought he was joking. 3 days after that phone call I received a call at work stating that he had been wounded in combat. Needless to say he caught a bullet or two and they sent him back home to recover.

I guess my belief is that we are all connected to a higher consciousness. Although the dreammay be unpleasant I believe it represents something much much more ....

I have a friend that has them all the time about the STBX. But there was a history of violence and what I consider sexual abuse as well. I don't think it's that uncommon even without those factors.

Not that I can recall (can't remember ALL my dreams) but still very occasionally wake up thinking she is sleeping beside me.
(Does that qualify as a "half asleep dream"? ;-))

I had a very long continuous dream Saturday night, for example, that we were both packing to move out of this house (he packed and moved in real life lickety-split, harly a warning, I am here with half-empty house) and in the dream he finished packing and had somewhere to go and I could never finish packing everything (including his bullshit he was leaving behind) and didn't know where I was going. It was awful.

I believe, and taught my kids, that you end a nightmare by telling it to someone. That has usually worked for us.

I have one that has never gone away, no matter what-been stuck with it since I was about 8, and it has a physical component-so there isn't much that can be done.

I am hoping that writing out the bad dream/nightmare will take their power away.

I used to be able to remember a lot of my dreams. Since my divorce, I don't remember them. I know that I am dreaming because I can remember very brief snippets from my dreams, but I can't remember much beyond that.

The dreams adn nightmares are bad -- but I hate to wake up in the morning -- even this morning when I had a great night of sleep, no bad dreams, I still can hardly bring myself to face teh world if i don't have an appointment that I just have to be at.

I haven't been sleeping much lately, so no dreams. At this point I think I would welcome even a nightmare, at least that would be proof that I slept.

Yeah...Sleep :-(

Last night I was awakened to 80lbs of Moe on my chest, nose in my face at 1am. Once he had my eyes open, he went on Alert. I had to do a perimeter walk with him to calm him down.

I have NO IDEA what that was about.

I go to sleep but staying there...it is a loosing battle :-(

I have the dream of having him just not care. I remember having that occasionally over the years and waking up so upset. Now I am living the dream, but it still upsets me when I wake up.

I've had the oppsite happen to me. I use to dream all the time and would remember most of them when I first woke up. Most of the dreams were good, but every once in a while I'd have a weird or bad dream. But since my wife has started talking about leaving, I can't remember having a single dream. Good or bad.

last nite i dreamed he was dying..i couldn't get to him. there were all these people in the way..i pushed and pushed, screaming his name. i could hear him calling mine.

i never made it to him. i woke up at 3 am soaked in sweat and tears.

it's making for a difficult day as i can not seem to shake this overwhelming feeling of doom.

bet ya'll needed that to cheer you up, huh???
