Weird and disturbing nightmares

[LadyJaneThePoet]

I've been plagued by nightmares my whole life, most of them pretty vivid and unmistakeable in their content, but I can never quite figure out what they mean. However, it's my latest one that I really need help with.

A bit of background on me: I'm married with a three year old son. That's the short-short version.

My latest nightmare happened on the evening of November 22, around approximately 8pm. In it, I told my husband I was going to leave him, in which case he became extremely violent, grabbing me and threatening me (something he would NEVER do, nor has ever done before). I run screaming from the house to my mother's house, as she happens to live next door in my dream (she does not in real life, however). For some reason, I return home at my husband's insistance and begin to give him oral sex. I then proceed to bite his penis while informing him that I WILL be leaving him and he WILL let me go.

It's here that I woke up, and I was absolutely drenched in sweat and shivering.

My husband is not a violent man, nor do he and I have marital problems beyond what any normal married couple comes upon.

This nightmare is haunting me. Can someone help?

Hi Lady Jane,

around approximately 8pm.

What time do you go to bed normally? My guess is that you were having a nap in a sitting position or in a bad sleeping position. The dream was simply trying to wake you up with these unlikely scenarios. I can't put a meaning to your dream, except it was meant to shake you and rouse you from your sleeping position.

I have a strange schedule: I work an over night shift from 11pm -7am, and I sleep from 7am until noon and again from 7pm until 10:30pm. I've been doing this sleep schedule for 5 years, so I know it's not that, nor was it my sleeping position, as I was in bed at this time.

I do thank you for your input, though.

Hi Lady Jane,
Thanks for your post. I have sympathy for you as the unsocial hours you work must effect ones rest. I worked shifts for many years.
However you should not worry about the meaning of the dream as the subconscious always creates a dream that looks after you.

Hi,
Dreams in the first 1/3 of the night after dinner or food have no interpretation and are called messy dreams.
Dreams after sunrise or in the rest of 2/3 of the night if were bright and vivid may have interpretations correlctly that are called truthful dreams.
Good luck.
