If you had recurring nightmares every time you slept next to a certain someone, would you want to keep sleeping next to them?

Question

Like say you sleep next to someone for about 5 days a week for about an entire month. Usually 3-4 of these days you have nightmares. I mean terrible ones that leave you shook the next day. But the majority of the nightmares have nothing to do with this person while the occasional does have things going awry between you two. As for the days before you met them as well as the days you don’t sleep next to them, you have pretty peaceful dreams. Would you want to continue sleeping next to that person?  #FeelFreeToList #DreamALittleDream

I wouldn't stop sleeping next to them. It's just that I am not mentally sound. They maybe the reason for that, but still it's something I need to improve on myself. So I don't blame them.

I had been having frequent nightmares since March, usually about the same person or about the same topic. Often 3-4 times a week. I wasn't having sound sleep. Often used to wake up at 5 in the morning and then I couldn't go back to sleep because the nightmares used to shake me up pretty bad.

It took a lot to keep that in control. I still get those nightmares, but it's once a week or two. What did I do to keep it in check? I detached myself from everything related to that person. I'm still in touch, I just don't interact with them myself. If they do, I reply. And that's how I quit Instagram and Snapchat (because I used those only to interact with that one person).

Your nightmares don't have to be about that person to be that person... your subconscious trying to tell you something or warn you about someone close to you

If you were to really focus on your every thought you will understand that we know things before they happen but we have to be paying attention and listens to ourselves but we're so busy usually caught up in our own heads or was something else going on that we always miss it

When you're talking to this person as you're listening to them listen to their words but also listen to what they're not saying if that makes sense

Depends on the type of nightmare, but most likely it wouldn't bother me, since nightmares are not a big deal for me. I grew up especially during my teens having nightmares most nights and occasionally getting sleep paralysis a decent amount. Very rarely does a nightmare impact my mental state when I wake up.

That's harsh! You can't be responsible for someone else's dream, (I've been yelled at for cheating in her dream before, and I was all WTH?) but if it was consistent, I'd think it was my subconscious letting me know something just wasn't right here.

I used to have a recurring nightmare about a girl I was sweet on but never dated when I was a teenager. At that time in my life if she'd agreed to sleep with me I would have kept going back if she'd set fire to me every night.

I hope that 35 years later I'm smarter than that, but I doubt it

coachTanthony · Answer

First I would check my diet to see if what I am eating and what time is causing this. If nothing has changed and it just happens to be because I am sleeping next to this person then NO I would not be doing that anymore lol

I was staying at a house I'd rented with friends. We had our own rooms. But I had recurring wet dreams that involved one of my friends (who was a girl) who was also staying with us. It was strange because I didn't have any of those kind of thoughts for her when I was awake. But wet dreams involving her several times a week.

AviatorTom · Answer

Before you blame your sleeping partner for your nightmares, think what else is going on in your life. Nightmares are often the mind's way of trying to deal with stress.

electromagnetic · Answer

I probably wouldn’t even catch on that my partner might be the issue. I’d probably think stress, fatigue, a lot of my mind.

RavVid · Answer

NO! I'm a sentient being and I'd correlate. Is the sex really really really good though? That has to be a factor in the decision making.

Bismarck_96 · Answer

I dont like the ones that include death reason why I sleep on separate beds now I just dont like those dreams and speaking of dreams if you see a stranger in your dreams its usually a spirit watching you sleeping youd probably want to wake up

SunnyRS · Answer

I would not, it would seem like my mind is telling me to keep away from this person.
And our mind has a tendency to pick things that we may not understand at that time but are important, some people call it "vibe."

Christoff92 · Answer

Probably not. That's if she is the dream wife of Freddy Kreuger 🤣

Agape93 · Answer

Nope. Why do you think I keep contemplating the delete button?

iron_ninjs · Answer

That would depend on the nightmares I have. But I'd probably stay and sleep next to them

Pink2000 · Answer

I would definitely take that as a sign. I wouldn’t sleep next to them.

Ad_Quid_Orator · Answer

I'd arrange an appointment with a mental health professional and discuss the issue with them before I decided what to do next.

the_sinner · Answer

Yeah I will. But I’ll also be discussing it with the person so that next time when I’m having a nightmare the person will help me calm down and go back to sleep.

so is this something you are currently experiencing?

Hardworkingguy · Answer

I really don't see how sleeping with someone in particular can make you have nightmares

TallAnon · Answer

Yeah, sounds interesting; I don't remember dreams or nightmares generally.

Sparkie460 · Answer
