I usually don't repeat my nightmares because I do re-dream them and I don't want to keep reminding myself of the content. However, this is one that I just can't even remotely shake:
I find myself driving out in the boonies to find a hotel where I am supposed to meet up with my husband. He apparently has an important job interview on the following day and has asked me to attend for appearances' sake. I am accompanied by our dog (I kept trying to figure out whether or not it was Jack or just a made-up dog and I couldn't tell ) and I arrived sometime after dark.
Once I pulled up, I was greeted by my husband and then a strange woman comes out of his room. I am told that he is going to leave me and live with her. He sees absolutely nothing wrong with this scenario. Next thing I know - her husband is there. He is now best buddies with my husband and is seemingly fine with this turn of events. I ask him if he truly is fine with this and he tells me yes. I am not fine. Everyone acts shocked. I am still asked to remain for the interview on the following day. Me, I throw a major tantrum, and head out the door.
I pack up myself and the dog and get into the car to leave. I tell them that I am going home - there is no reason to stay - and that the dog is going with me. He then begs for me to leave the dog - not me, just the dog.
I take off and get lost going home - there is no one to call. (I thought about trying to call my girls but I realize there is nothing to say other than I am headed home). I remember thinking why didn't I bring my Garmin because my phone is not finding the way. So there I am driving backroads in the dark and not knowing how to get home. Without my Garmin.
Seems awfully short doesn't it - well, it sure seemed like an eternity throughout the night - I woke up several times and went right back into the same nightmare.
Arguments. Feeling abandoned. Shocked that everyone else seems to think that nothing is wrong with this scenario. Amazed that he even wants the dog. Every nightmare seems to have a very similar theme. Totally why I fight sleep until I absolutely have to have it.
