I really hadnt been having what you would call nightmares relating to db for the last 7 months but last night I had the worst one I could ever have. I havent talked to db for the longest stretch of time in a long while and today I just hope that I get to finally talk to him because im just so freaked out today. So have you ever had nightmares about your SO during deployment?

my best friend had one about her hubby but it came true a month later..

i've had them too about df and its not cool but its just a dream!!!!

i have them terribly... but i also worry WAY toooo much. I also just blame it on that, i :pray they never come true.

i dreamt mine left me after i had a few of his kids. he didn't know why he was leaving me, he just needed to. how weird is that?

All the time. The worst ones are when you wake up shaking, sweating, and crying. Try not to listen to these nightmares. THey are just deployment demons. hugs.

I just had one a couple weeks ago...I won't go into too much detail because it just upsets me, but basically something happened to him and I had to go to his apartment and clean out his things. I hate worrying all the time.

I have nightmares, but they're never about DB. It's more where I feel like I'm awake and someone bad is in my apartment and I can't move or hide or scream. I never have those when he's in bed beside me :(

Last time, I got night terrors. There was no dream, just an awful feeling and I would wake up because I was screaming. I always felt like something awful had happened, but it never had. It was all in my head.

This time, that hasn't happened yet. But sometimes I let my mind wander where it shouldn't, to the what if's, and then I can't shake the icky feeling. I'm not asleep, but it still feels like a bad dream.

His last deployment, to Iraq, I would always dream that I went over there to see him and no one would tell me where he was. I'd always find out he had been killed right before I woke up. Yeah. Those got old fast.

This deployment, I've had bad, bad dreams dealing with all the insecurities I have. We had some serious issues occur right after he deployed, and I guess my mind won't let me move on from them. I mean, I'm think it's pretty unlikely that he's going to have appointments to have sex with random girl after random girl while home on r&r...but I still wake up freaking out about it and have to remind myself that it was a dream.

I've never had any nightmares about something bad happening to him while he's over there, but I do keep having continuous nightmares that something bad is happening to me. I never remember what they were about when I wake up, but each time I always feel trapped in my own body - like I'm struggling and trying with all my might to speak or move or do something and I just can't. I don't know what they mean, but they've only been going on since he's been gone.

I have nightmares almost EVERY night! Some having to do with DH, others just random nightmares. But they are flat out NIGHTMARES. Like when I wake up, I'm scared shitless!

Nightmares are not fun, but they are just our brains' way of dealing with our deep down fears. Doesn't mean they will come true. But they do drive us crazy!! Just remember that it's just your mind running images thru it. I still hate nightmares though!!

i have nightmares too at least twice a week :( its either about him leaving me and the kids cuz he dosen´t love me anymore or he got killed in iraq its Horrible i wake up crying and cant fall asleep again... i havent told DH about these dreams cuz i dont want him to worry about me (more then he already does) i just tell him "i had those fucked up dreams again" and he tells me that everything is gonna be alright and that he will be home soon (soon means in 12 months aaaah :tired)

You know I haven't had many. One early on about him cheating on me. Weird a couple scary ones but nothing too vivid. BUT he's coming hom soon and Friday night I had a very vivid nightmare about him having a mental breakdown in public that was so real and so horrible. All I could do in the dream was take his hand and try to lead him away from everyone like a little child. I know he's gonn abe fine when he gets home but I'm obviously nervous for him and the mental strain that this deployment (and the many prior) has had on him.

I occasionally have nightmares about DF. They always shake me up.
