I dreamt that my ex-husband was on top of me, and I was clutching his arm, on which, my now husband's name was tattooed. That is just totally disturbing. I often have dreams of my ex husband even though I haven't seen him in close to 18 years. But this dream just wasn't necessary. I WISH there was a way I could get him out of my dreams. I don't even think of him when I'm awake. Frankly, it revolts me and I always wake, totally relieved that my husband is beside me.

I sympathize and relate but I don't know what we can do about it. When I dream of my mother I dream of her as she was w/ dementia, not as she was most of my life. Just try to shake it off.

The dream mirrors your anxiety you have around your current husband. You fear that he will be like the last one.

Well, I don't think so. My husband, whom I've been with for 15 years and married to for almost 12, is nothing like my ex-husband. Totally and completely so. I have never feared that he will be like my ex! He has his control issues (passively) but is not aggressive, abusive and respects me and loves me. My ex-husband abused me physically, mentally and emotionally and abandoned me several times, and then also abandoned me when our baby was born. My now husband has never, ever abandoned me and I don't fear he will do so either. So, I don't see your suggestion as a correlation. Anxiety for sure - but not in the way you suggest.

Remember anxiety and fear may or may not be real, but imagined. The tattoo may indicate you are projecting these fears.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
