Back a few months ago, I had a run of waking up paniced from nightmares of FU cheating on me again. Chalked them up to just part of the whole getting over it thing, and they stopped after a couple of weeks.

For the past few days, I have been having wierd dreams. I wouldn't call them nightmares, exactly. They all involve me catching her in infidelities, but in truly bizarre situations. I don't wake up immediately from them, and they don't have much impact even on my sleeping self, but I wanted to ask if anyone else on here has bad dreams, or if anyone could offer any insight.

I can usually remember them for a few days, and I rarely remember my dreams. That's why I am even bringing them up.

The one I had a few hours ago...FU had told me in the dream she was going swimming. She is a little nervous about the water RL and has not been swimming since we met as far as I know. She came home in the dream and I noticed bits of lime jello in her hair, which in the dream meant she had been with someone else. I asked her and she confessed. Woke up a while later, not freaked out about it or anything but with pretty clear memory.

The one yesterday...we have a couple of friends that are expecting their first child. The guy in the couple has been one of my buddies for many, many years. His wife is a pleasant person, and we all 4 used to get together from time to time and enjoyed it. As their due date approaches, we don't see them very often anymore. This is all RL stuff.

In the dream yesterday, his wife had a chainmail nightgown kind of thing that had monitors built into it, so they could pinpoint when she was starting labor and get her to the hospital quickly. I dreamed that his wife had been babysitting our son (which has never happened) while I slept. FU came home from work and let his wife go home, then came back to the bedroom to get undressed. She had this chainmail nightgown thingy tied in a knot around her thigh, and in the dream I knew that meant they had "been together". I asked her and she confirmed it. A while later, I woke up with complete memory of what I had dreamed, but again, nothing unusual in my emotions.

This has been going on for several days now. It is not interfering in my sleep, in fact I have been feeling better rested than I have in months. But the dreams have all had these wierd situations, and have always ended with FU confessing after being asked about adultery.

Anyone been through anything like this, or have any ideas no matter how odd what the heck might be going on in my noggin?

Odd indead... even though W and I have been doing wonderfully in our R for almost 8 months, last night with no trigger what-so-ever I had a dream that I found out she had made a "porn" movie with OM and that the entire small town we were living in at the time had seen it. In my dream I was setting on our bed crying and saying but you promised you had told me everything. She looked at me and said but I didn't want to hurt you anymore. I woke up with my heart pounding!!

I had some of these "odd" dreams "nightmares" early on but had not had one in months and have no idea why I had this one although I did have a crappy day business wise. Guess it's just part of the process.

Hang in there and always remember that IT'S A GREAT DAY TO BE ALIVE!!!!!

How odd Mr. E!

I too dreamt that H and OW made a porn and I had to watch it..

......but in my dream I watched it with H and it was..ahem..it was a good dream <img border="0" title="" alt="[Embarrassed]" src="images/icons/blush.gif" />

I did feel all gross though when I woke up.

Gross in a marrow deep, haven't quite got over it even yet sort of way.

If there is an answer to that dream..I'm not sure I want it <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />

Noodle, you crack me up...

My work here is finished then <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

Seriously though..I told H about it when I woke up. He drew back in alarm and said "that's F'd up"..I sat nodding in heartfelt agreement. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

I had a very odd dream after d-day.

Squid was lying on a medical bed, naked. I was holding her hand, like when she gave birth, providing comfort to her while a low blue flame burned slowly her outer skin off revealing new skin beneath. The flame moved down her in a line, and I brushed the ash off behind it.

It was painful for Squid, there were tears in her eyes, and she winced, but we BOTH KNEW she needed to undergo this. The flame did not consume her, just burned off her old skin.

How bizarre ? I told her about this and she thought it was funy, but I felt I should take a meaning from it, even though I haven't worked out what it is.

Noodle, you have officially become one of my favorite posters!!!

Aint't it A GREAT DAY TO BE ALIVE!!!!

Wow Noodle that is strange, I've had a few nightmares myself. Although most of the time early after Dday I was just waking up after 2-3 hours of sleep a night in cold sweats. Sometimes I think there are some dreams that just shouldn't be disected.

OAK,

I, too, have been having the ODDEST dreams since d-day...

The most vivid was one where all through the dream I had broken bits of glass in my mouth. No matter how many times I tried to spit it out (which I did, all through the dream) my mouth would just refill with broken glass.

It startled me so much in the middle of the night that I got up and did a google search about dreams. I found the coolest website. I looked it up and it ACTUALLY HAD "eating glass" on it. I couldn't believe it. I thought it was kind of random and was pretty surprised! It said:

To dream that you are eating glass highlights your vulnerability, confusion, and frailty. You may have difficulties in communicating your thoughts and getting the right words out. Alternatively, it may symbolize your hurtful and cutting comments. Perhaps you have been hurt or disappointed by something someone has said...

Pretty weird, huh?

Another dream was that there was a tick on Patriot's head that I was trying to remove. I had him look that one up for me since I was at work and he was at home on the computer. He laughed this loud "HAH" kind of sarcastic laugh as he read...

To see or be bitten by a tick in your dream suggests that a relationship or situation is sucking all the energy out of you. Ask yourself what in your life is causing you much exhaustion.

Neither of us had to ask.

I'll post you the link. Let me know if you find anything interesting.

Hey Froz! Hope you guys are doing better!

Thanks for the link...here is what I got:

Gelatin-See Jelly

Jelly

To see or eat jelly in your dream, represents some suspicion or insight into a situation you are wondering about. The dream may be a metaphor for something that is finally taking shape. You have come to some understanding. Alternatively, it indicates that you are preserving or maintaining a sweet relationship.

And nothing on chainmail, but this one:

Chains

To see chains in your dream, signifies your need to break free from a routine, old idea, or a relationship. If you are being chained, then some part of you is being forcefully head in check.

Maybe I see FU as restraining herself from following her prior ways. As opposed to getting beyond them.

Something to think about at least. These insights are freaking me out a little, I'll tell ya.
