I had years of nightmares without knowing. How do I know that they are gone?!
Question: I am now single. I left my husband. One night I woke up screaming. That next day I asked him how often I scream. He said every night. I was stunned. I asked for how long? He said. for many years. We were married 26 years.
With counseling I learned to stop the dreams, Every night I would say. I don't need Don to help me. If I am in danger or if the children are in danger I can take care of things by myself. I said it a few times before I went to sleep. It worked the first night.
Now I rarely have those dreams. I have had a couple that I remember. I am wondering if subconsciously I am dreaming and not knowing it. Thus making me anxious and depressed.
All the night mares are about my X husband not helping in some sort of tradigty.
The long arm of this man reaches to my dreams.
Tonight I will tell myself to not dream about it. Help

hmm you cant run from your fears you shouldnt worry about nightmares either because they are just a dream. I dont understand why you dream nightmares all the time except that your brain is stuck on a particular thought perhaps? I wonder if it has to do with things between your ex and you left unsaid was he aware that he was the main one in your nightmares? I wonder what would to happen if you were to discuss this with him and get things out in the open. Perhaps just maybe your brain would finally be at peace.
read the bible b4 you go to sleep! think about something that you know is good for you.
