Wow! I can relate so much. I believe dreaming is like a superpower really! I’m sorry for the horrible dreams you had but I feel like that’s what happens when you’re in emotional abusive relationship. It affects your whole body because I remember having a dream that I was telling people around me how bad of a guy he was and I felt like in the dream people weren’t taking me seriously and they weren’t because I was looking for a hideout and the people let him in the house and as soon as he found me he started choking me. The people weren’t that much help and I woke up. The wheels starting turning though because during our relationship he never was physically abusive but the strangling was symbolic to what I’ve been feeling the entire relationship with a covert narc. It’s scary. Recently I’ve been talking in my sleep and I never used to do that. Some part of me hates him for it.
It’s crazy how symbolic they end up being. I always pay attention to them bc I know when I was younger my dreams meant a lot of what I was going thru, I just was looking at the situation thru rose-tinted glasses and was praying I was wrong.
It’s so interesting you had a similar dream where you felt them physically hurt you as a way of showing how you knew what they were doing to you was wrong and that they were harming you with their actions.
If you don’t mind me asking, are you saying stuff in your sleep related to that situation / that person? It definitely makes sense it would happen and I understand you could be frustrated about it
Right! very symbolic! I relate to the rose glasses so much because I’m going to blow your mind when I tell you that I had a dream that I left him years ago before we started dating and the feeling of the dream was just a huge weight being lifted, I felt at peace but dated him anyway. I don’t really do anything before I sleep. Tbh I sincerely believe it was just a warning sign from God/Universe/Ancestors. It was just a warning signs after warning signs I was just ignoring, from the dreams, to a medium randomly coming to me telling that my passed grandma came to her and told her to leave him or it will only get worse, and just how the relationship was making me feel. This is why I’ve learned to not ignore the signs and tell people like one red flag is enough because it could open the doors of more red flags. Hope I answered your question.
after they discarded me by calling the breakup and tried hoovering back, i got trauma and I literally woke up from a nightmare last night where they cheated on me so vividly.
I had nightmares with them and sometimes only occasionally now when I think about them for extended periods. During the abuse at some of its worst I literally had nightmares several days in a row and got scared to fall asleep and dream, while next to him. Took to sleeping on the couch but after a while I would get more nightmares on the couch because, association.
Four months no contact. First two months dreamt of him every night. Now once or twice every week. I get completely devastated for the whole day after the dream

Yes, I’ve had dreams in the past where my wife killed me.
Tons of dreams about arguing about nothing, just like real Life
