It's just past 4:00 AM and I'm afraid to go back to sleep.

I keep dreaming that my ex-husband (who was abusive when we were married) is gradually replacing things in the room that belong to my now-and-forever husband, with things that belong to him. About the time I start to notice the changes, my ex-husband steps out of hiding, grabs me, holds me down, covers my mouth, and laughs. I wake up before he does anything else.

It's happened four or five times in succession tonight. I've never had this nightmare before.

the truth is that u still think abt ur ex. And it seems as if he wants to get bk into ur life. Ur recent husband being in d dream is jst becos u're scared. I'l advice u to switch rooms and or get anyth that reminds u of ur ex out of the r0om u sleep nw. And do talk to ur hubby abt dis.

Maybe it's the fact that my ex has just moved into my daughter's home, and my daughter only lives a mile away from me. I am very uncomfortable having him live so close to me. I don't like the fact that he and I can be riding the same bus (which has happened) and he can take note of where I get off, watch which direction I walk, and figure out where I live. He knows he wouldn't ever be welcome in this house, but still, I just wish he didn't live so near me.

In fact, I wish he didn't even live in the same state.

I can only sympathize. I have been divorced for almost 13 years and haven't seen my ex-husband since then either yet he still invades my dreams. I often have dreams where I'm with my ex-husband but really want to be with my now husband. I always feel so guilty about these dreams and am always so angry that they invade my mind. I just want to forget about my ex. The worst dream I had was when my ex-husband shot me. I remember it so vividly and can still feel the pain. I just wish it would all go away.
