I haven't talk in my sleep for many years or remember any dreams.<P> I did a major LB about 3 weeks ago & then quickly regained my control, I thought the yelling was over. (At this point we told our kids about OW). About a week later my WH tells me the next morning that I was yelling in my sleep just as blood curdling as I did when I was awake.<P> WS has been phoning OW every work day. Now about a week ago I actually remembered dreaming that WS and myself went to OW house were we saw OW with a newborn. I thought it was her grandchild but it was to small, so then I thought it was an OC. I saw OW, her DIL & son but didn't see OWH or WS. I then left on my own with out WH. I told WH about this dream and he said it was silly because both OWs have been fixed and can't have any more kids. WH had told me about them before and how the sex is much better when you don't have to worry about pregnancy.<P> WH will usually tell me if I inquire about his discussions with OW. WH received another job offer to relocate, he said he would probably move out if he got the job. I have been very calm about discussing and acknowledging why he wants to change jobs. <BR> Then last night WH told me that OW & him have been discussing trying to have no contact for 3 months until Dec. 29. OWH wanted 6 months, I think he might have been reading from this site. (I told him about it the about 3 weeks ago when I contacted him briefly, WH interrupted.)<P> Now here is the kicker - WH is in a fog to the signs and I almost told him this morning. WH is like an only C because he is 10 years & 16 years younger than his siblings. Our kids are almost 15 & 20. I am in good health and shape except for being over 40. I haven't decided what to do yet.<BR>I will get a med.doctors appt. next week and I also have a scheduled counseling session. I had a complete medical exam in June.<P>This is much much longer than I intended. Sorry. It is just the symbolism of this newborn in my dream. Have any of you had dreams that symbolized something in the future?<BR>Seeking some advice. <P>I had planned on going to plan B in Jan. whether WH stayed or left, he has been sitting on the fence since July 4, 2001, and D-day is almost a year old. <P>Planning to go night golfing tonight, I here it is fun.<BR><p>[This message has been edited by Exploding (edited September 29, 2001).]

I've heard of many people having dreams of something that's about to happen. Premonitions (sp?). That gift runs in my family... but it's reduced to deja vu for me (sigh!).<P>I just looked this up on the net (I searched under dream analysis).<P>Baby <P>Crying babies in a dream may foretell of ill health or minor disappointments in your personal life while a bright, clean baby speaks of a wonderful love affair or even the making of many new friends. A nursing baby can mean contentment or even deception when taken in relation to other symbols in your dream. Dreaming of a baby can also denote the state of your soul life, again in relation to the other signs. <P>I hope this helps! [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]<P>Karen<BR>

Oh boy, I have anxiety attacks in my sleep. I can go on about the nightmares I have had. They are the exaggerated versions of what I know about the OW and stuff. Then again the more I learn the worse the real story gets. Pretty soon, my nightmares are going to look more like a PG movie and OW's incidents look like a XX rates movie with a psyco twist. <P>On the other hand, I have had dreams that helped boost my confidence. A couple of them could have been in a movie, they had a couple of popular actors and real cute also. I was treated like a lady with respect and no raunchy scenes..... LOL!!!! Anyway, it taught me that I could get along with others and that I was not as bad as OW and Ws would have liked me to believe. That helped my healing process. So much so that after one of them, I called H up and told him to go ahead and start the D. Threw him for a loop and OW started to get fidgity (sp?). <P>Dreams? Nighmares? TAlking in one's sleep? I believe it is our sub conscience coming out. At least some of it. I did not realize how much of my feelings I was supressed. Now, I let myself talk in my sleep, H should know how much I hurt. <P><BR>L. <P>

When we were first married and I was working full time along with going to college I often said the funniest things in my sleep & had no clue the next morning about anything. The only other time is when I was coaching high school sports besides working full time and having a young baby, I was told I coached in my sleep.<P>The past 10 years I just haven't had any subconscious stuff being vocalized or do I remember dreaming. Again last night my H woke me up because I was saying "kitty, kitty, kitty. I do kinda remember the dream. I think I will try Topie 25's suggestion and see what I can find.<P> Topie how have you survived with twins???? I knew back 15 years ago that I wouldn't mind having more children, but I also knew my limits of what I can handle. At that point our family of 4 was enough, and along with working was fine. I don't want anybody to think I was planning any pregnancy to try to get WH to stay. You would think 15 years of not even any fear of preg., this would not be a problem. I have not told WH & right now he is distant.<P>Orchid - I am trying to release my anger now when WH is not around and I have not called OW, or her family in almost 2 weeks. I do however, slam and break a glass outside on the sidewalk every now & then. WH asked about the broken glass & I told him I did that 4-5 days ago. I thought I had picked up most of the glass.<BR><p>[This message has been edited by Exploding (edited September 30, 2001).]

LOL. Honestly though, I've been living life for over a year now where I haven't gotten anymore than 6 hours straight sleep. That's only happened a few times. I'm usually wakened every 4 hours or so (sigh!). <P>The twins are almost 7 1/2 months old now. They're STILL NOT sleeping through the night all the time (sigh!). I was SO... spoiled with my first 2.. they were out all night starting at about 3 months old. Gotta admit, that was nice! [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]<P>Prior to the twins, I used to talk a lot in my sleep. H thought it was hilarious. The only problem, was that I wasn't very clear. I apparently missed most nouns and verbs. LOL. I DO remember asking if it was him one night when he came to bed (he still bugs me about that one.. which happened 4 yrs ago). "H? Is that you?". "No, it's [insert any name]" was his response. I also told him precisely where the hole puncher was one night when he looked in on me. What can I say? In my dream, he was looking for it! ROLFMAO<P>Dreams can be really interesting things. I know I've been blessed by the ones where Andrew has visited me (he's my son who passed away Sept 11, 2000). Those dreams have helped me to heal immensely.<P>Karen<BR>

Topie,<P>I was interested in you response where you talked of the prophesy in dreams. This kind of stuff is in my family, handed down to daughters. My grandmother was very well known for her gifts, my mother is a little like you, a smaller version, and it has passed to me as well. I have had some weird things come true from dreams. And there was no symbolism...I dreamed the actual events.<P>Mostly dreams are our subconscious playing out events and problems in our waking lives. There is a lot of symbolism, but I don't really believe those books that give you an exact description of what an object means. I believe because the symbols are from the individual's subconscious, what these things mean to one person may not mean the same to the next. So I think if the dreamer thinks about their life circumstances, a message will become apparent.<P>Nina

Nina too:<P>I do agree with you... although I'm still drawn to the idea of certain images meaning certain things. I've noticed that if I dream of something, like, oh, I dunno... a beer bottle... I more likely than not would have seen one earlier in the day that caught my eye. Then I rationalize dreaming of it b/c I actually saw it.<P>My maternal grandmother had a very strong gift, and was able to see people's futures. Unfortunately, she started using her gift to make money, and it went sour on her. All she could see were horrible events. She stopped doing that once they were coming true. My mum has had premonitions. They usually involve the death of a loved one (including family pets). And as I said, for myself, I'm reduced to deja vu. But my gut instincts are VERY strong, especially regarding people. In my experience, I'm right 99% of the time.<P>Karen<BR>
