Question

Help answer this question below.

Sometimes my husband will have horrible dreams about me cheating on him. Last night he was half alseep and started hitting at me and screaming at me. He feels so bad about it in the morning when he realizes what he did. Is there any way to prevent this?

    Often dreams are not about the actual content, but this type of dream could simply reflect an insecurity in his life, a feeling he is losing his grip on something though not necessarily on you.

    The dream will stop when whatever situation inspiring it is resolved, and usually dreams of this type are short lived.

    Other than reassuring him of your fidelity, being understanding and supportive, you may just have to wait it out, but i would encourage him to talk about anything in his life where he might feel abandoned, insecure or unsure of himself. Sometimes just expressing feelings will hit on some theme and talking may relieve his anxiety enough to stop them.

    Reassure him too that he need not feel badly. Dreams are not within our control (usually) and he is simply working on something in his sleep that is likely affecting him in waking life. Dreams need not be guilt producers... they are what they are, just dreams.

    He should speak to a counselor as he may be acting out his subconscience. He has an issue that needs to be bought to light and discussed and dealt with.

    Also, sleep in separate beds!

    tell him the relationship is over. leave him or tell him to see a psychologist about his anger and jelousy. he feels like you may leave him. or that he is not good enough for you. and him hitting you is not the best way to say i love you. if he continues this is bad. if he got help he'd feel better. and he'd see that you aren't leaveing him. dreams are the inner workings of the consciouse mind.

    I think your husband should be examined for a sleep disorder problem. I am NOT a doctor. I think, however, night terrors are something a sleep disorder specialist MAY be able to help him with. I would look into it.

    Good luck!

    I don't know about prevention, but if it were me I would be sorely tempted to sleep elsewhere until his security issues were resolved. I agree that counseling should be seriously considered.
