I am having a lot of issues sleeping and have the last 18 months since my husband passed away. I sleep walk a lot not only sleep walk but do laundry, cook, hold conversations that I do not remember doing. I will go to sleep in my bed and wake up sitting on the couch or putting clothes in the dryer, one morning even woke my kids up and made them breakfast although I wasn't awake or aware that I did it. I told my GP about it but it was just dismissed. I have the same dream every single night. In the dream my husband had passed away and it is 6 years later. I'm watching tv with my new husband and there is a knock at the door. Its someone in a hoodie with their face covered so I open the door and it's my late husband. He comes in and explains that he had to fake his death so I punch him in the face and throw him out. He then moves into our first home together with his ex gf and has a baby with her. I call him and tell him he needs to sign the divorce papers so I can be legally married to my current husband. He refuses to divorce me. I'm not exactly sure what this dream means. My daughter and I talked about it and she seems to think that it means that since he passed away in waking life that its an emotional metaphor for me not being able to have him but he has me emotionally. It's just so painful and frustrating to have this dream every night for the last year.

Thanks for sharing this. I'm not knowledgeable with regard to dream interpretation. So I can't be of any help with regard to your recurring dream. There are other members, here on PC, who are knowledgeable. Hopefully some of them will yet see your post & reply.

What occurs to me is that you may be struggling with a boatload of anxiety & this is perhaps coming out in your dreams. It's sad that your GP simply dismissed this. But I'm not surprised. I don't know if you're seeing a therapist. But if not that may be the thing you want to be doing, if you can. Having the opportunity to talk what you have experienced through, at length & over time, with the help of a skilled therapist may help you to put to rest whatever it is that is driving what's happening with you. Being evaluated at a sleep center may be something to consider as well if you continue having problems with sleep walking. Somnambulism can actually become dangerous under the right circumstances, as I'm sure you realize.

Here are links to a couple of articles, from PsychCentral's archives, on the subject of sleepwalking (somnambulism) that may be of interest:

Also, here are links to 2 articles, again from PC's archives, on the subject of healing following the death of a spouse:
