Dreams?

[gabigoo]

Hi Everyone! It has been a while since my last post but I have been OK for the past few weeks- AH is now 58 days sober!!! Anyway, my question today is pretty random... but... I keep having recurring dreams that my AH is either cheating on me or leaving me. Last night I dreamt about our wedding and he told me that he didn't want to get married. In reality we are celebrating our 5 year wedding anniv. next week and 9 years together next month and we have never been unfaithful to eachother. So why now all of these horrible dreams? Ever since he got clean and faced his addiction I have had these dreams almost every night.

Any thoughts on dreams and what this could mean? Anyone else with "strange" dreams?

I think the dreams symbolize that you feel unsure of where you are at right now in your relationship. Change is scary. Give yourself time to work thru YOUR feelings and fears. Dreams feed off our fears and insecurities and throw them together in a jumble of ways. Hang in there. Maybe talk to your husband about them and just getting them out in the air will help.

gabigoo-

I just posted about dreams in another thread tonight. I have always been fastinated about dreams and have studied anything I could get my hands on for many years. The best analisis of dreams that I personally ever came across says that everyone in our dreams is expressing some aspect of ourselves. I believe your are telling your self something really deep in that dream. I believe your subconsciense is trying to help you work thru your feelings about his addiction. You never wanted to be married to his alcohol but, you were for a time. He cheated on you with alcohol at very least.

Perhaps you could start journaling about your feelings concerning your relationship and take a little pressure off of your subconscience mind so you can get better rest. I know these vivid dreams must be interrupting your deep sleep patterns and you need your rest. If he is going to meetings you may feel kind of left out I hope you are going to alanon to get some support f2f..... Take care!!!!

I agree that this is probably about your fear or concern of where your relationship is now or is going, and journaling will help. Happy anniversary!!! Enjoy every minute of it and congratulations to you husband for his clean time.
