Have you ever had a dream that just sticks with you. I mean you wake up and it felt so real? I have been having the same dream for a few nights. I always wake up at the same time and point in the dream. Hubby is working out-of-town and he should be thankful because if not I would probably wake up and punch him. SO I am going to share this dream with you and you are all going to think I am crazy but hey.
I am at a yard sale or bake sale (don’t know why because I don’t really go to either) and I notice this woman go into a house. I have tried calling hubby on the cell phone but he doesn’t answer and I overhear someone mentioning his name. So I go into the house and I hear him and her in the bedroom. I throw a chair at the door (yes I am that nuts and you would too) and run into the kitchen to hide behind a cabinet. He walks into the kitchen and I know he knows I am there I can sense it. He has this gardening rake, you the small ones, in his hand. He begins to get something out of the fridge and I attack him. He pins me on the floor and when I look at the rake I tell him to just go ahead and kill me because it would save my heart from breaking. He gives me the strangest look and says “I love you.” Then I wake up.
First I should say I am not that violent in any way. If you have been with me for a while you know that we survived an affair and I am pretty sure this dream is old fears coming to surface. Also he is working in an area where cell service is spotty which means sometimes when I call it goes straight to voice mail.The thing is it sticks with me all day and the look he gave me was just so odd. I am not sure how to describe the look but it is almost like he suddenly awoke from a dream or maybe like I had slapped him across the face.
Second I am not the kind of person who believes that dreams have some deeper meaning. I am intelligent enough to know that when we are asleep we cannot control what happens within our minds. I just needed to share it with someone and who better than all of you.
Do you have a dream that just stick with you?
I live in a small Georgia town that you most likely have never heard of and I LOVE it! My house is more than full as I am a single mother of four & caregiver to my aging mother and uncle. Lover of all things Outlander. Goes to the beat of her own drum woman.

I had a dream that my husband cheated on me when we first got married and was mad at him for 3 days. Later, he actually did so now from time to time I have dreams like that. I agree that they are just manifestations of old fears. Try not to let them get to you. We both know that trust is a challenge after those events, but if we didn’t trust they would change we wouldn’t have stayed. 😀 I believe that satan uses the time when we sleep to enter and disturb us as much as he can. he knows our fears and preys on them. Saying a prayer for ya.
Also, as a side note, you can learn to effect your dreams, it just takes time and practice. 😀
I agree with you about Satan using our dreams. I believe he takes my fears and just has a field day with them.
I never sleep well to start with when my hubby is out of town. That is probably the first thing bringing on a dream so vivid that you can’t shake it. I have been married almost 30 years and still have those kind of dreams from time to time. Though my hubby has never, ever given me even the tiniest reason to have them. I think it is my low”ish” self-esteem creeping in, and yes I agree, Satan taking over. He is ready to pounce and try to grab ya at every low moment. I pray tonight you will be “bad” dream free!
As for me, I think I agree with Robin about there being a self-esteem issue involved when I have similar dreams. It really makes e wonder that so many of use have these types of dreams. I hope we all find ways to come to terms with them and find some peace!
Ive had dreams like this before. Sometimes I’ve even woken up in full blown tears and my pillow soaked, those are the worse because my heart is racing and im an emotional wreck. Hubby has had similar dreams about me and he’ll come and wake me up and just hug me to comfort him.
I have had quite a few bad dreams, and I know that they are not real because they are just dreams. I do not believe in my dreams, but they do seem to be a bother when they are not good dreams. I seem to have dreams where I am in a bad situation and I can not get 911 operators to take me seriously and come to my house to help me.
I have had some recurring dreams on both sides, bad and good. The worst one is bits and pieces of a traumatic experience I had when I was young that I am watching as an adult. I have another dream that I have been having for as long as I can remember (probably since I was 7) where I am pinned to the wall and me feet can not touch the ground and all I can see is a fire burning and getting closer and closer to me but I am freezing, and like you I always wake at the same spot, right before the fire touches me and I always wake in a cold sweat and it takes me at least an hour to get back to sleep. But the good dreams I have are always ones that boost my motivation or self esteem (wish I could have more) I feel ya Rita!
I always had those kind of dreams when I was pregnant with our son. I remember waking up at the same time many nights in a row with the same recurring dream.
I haven’t had any recurring dreams in a long time but I used to have recurring dreams about spiders where I would wake up swatting the air.
I have had dreams like that. They can be so vivid that you just believe they are true. I have a couple of dreams like this that are reoccurring. I am not sure what triggers the dream but I know that there must be something that happens during the day that plants the seed in my brain some where about it.
I have had dreams that have just stuck with me. Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing your dream. I do disagree with you about dreams not having a deeper meaning, but I’ll spare you the psycho-analysis of yours or my own dreams. I think you’re right that your mind is working through trust; especially given the previous marital infidelity. I pray God’s protection over you mind and your heart and that He would make it clear if there anything significant about the dreams that He wants you to be aware of. And if it’s just a dream, I pray that he would snap you out of the pattern of dreams and give you dreams of the ways he desires to bless and prosper you and your family. In Jesus’ name.
Oh sweetie, what an awful dream! Thank you for sharing it, because I can see why it would bother you (it would drive me nuts too, especially if it was recurring). Personally I believe there are 2 types of dreams: the kind that are just a mash-up of your subconscious worries & thoughts; AND the kind that are trying to tell you something. I know you don’t believe in the latter, but from personal experience, I do. I feel that certain dreams are used for God to show us things, that are harder to see or comprehend when we’re awake. So many instances in my life point to God directing me/helping me see through a very REAL feeling dream. You’re stressed, worried, and your subconsious is letting you know that it’s a big fear in your life, to discover your hubby with someone else. But I do believe you have Dream #1 (just a mash-up of fears & worry). It’s hard on you to have hubby work so far, and then not be reachable to you. It’s hard on any marriage to have a spouse that works far from home. Try not to let this dream bother you. I know it’s easier said than done, but the ENDING of the dream is what you should focus on: He stared in your eyes, held you down on the floor and said I Love You, before you woke-up. This man loves you, and you’re an incredibly strong woman to love him so passionately after going thru that indescretion. Focus on the LOVE, Rita, because you have it. He’s YOUR husband, and he loves you too (other men have left their wives) but he hasn’t. He chose YOU, Rita. You’re his wife, his love, and the one he wants to spend his life with. No other woman matters.
I have had similar dream also. They can be very heart breaking and heart touching. Chin up girl. He loves you!
My recuring dream is being in a war, hiding behind a huge rock and shooting a gun. Strange because I have never done any of these things. Go figure!
That is a very vivid dream and so detailed! I have only fuzzy memories, if any, of dreams that I can even remotely think of. For now, I’ll be grateful, as I’d rather have that, than have dreams that give me pause. I think reoccuring type dreams may show unresolved conflict, I’m no professional, not sure if a one-time dream is a sign of any anxieties deep seated. I bet there are books on dreams written by qualified psychologists, it might be of interest!
