Conviction Posted May 25, 2016 Posted May 25, 2016 (edited) Random post of the day! Just saw a post on social media that said "so my wife woke up pissed at me because dream version of me did some terrible things in her dream last night so I now have to go buy flowers, and pamper her to make up for dream me" I took it as a joke at first, until I read the comments.... "LOL, yep so true" (female) "This has totally happened to me before, spent 6 months getting treated like a cheater LOL" (male) "This would be something I'd do" (female) Etc etc... Do people really think like that? Now granted, the comments could just be the typical social media fluff, but if the commenters really are in relationships where this happens, I pity them. If an SO did that to me, I'd find it uncalled for and childish. Just a random post with some food for thought, wondering how you guys would react if your SO did that? ETA: Mind you, this was an adult who posted this, and also adults who commented. It would be one thing if a teen posted it, but definitely not the case. Edited May 25, 2016 by Conviction
PegNosePete Posted May 25, 2016 Posted May 25, 2016 My partner has had dreams like that before. Whilst a little disturbed and upset, she never "punished" me in real life. I would say it's caused by some fear or insecurity in their life in general, not necessarily to do with the partner. Dreams are metaphors. Maybe she is scared that she will lose her job or scared for a sick relative's health, and that manifests itself as a mean partner in a dream. To punish someone in real life for how a dream-person acts, is ridiculous and illogical. It was her brain which caused the dream-person to act that way, after all.
2.50 a gallon Posted May 25, 2016 Posted May 25, 2016 I had a partner like that for a short time. She put a lot of faith in dreams fore telling the future. A real astrology nut, she used to read out horoscope looking for signs it might be time for us to break up. She was wrong, I walked away when we were supposed to be at out best. 1
NTV Posted May 25, 2016 Posted May 25, 2016 This is why I do bad stuff to start with. Then my SO doesn't need a dream version of me to be angry at. No dream version of me can compete with the real thing. But everyone can have my permission to dream about me all you want.
JustGettingBy Posted May 25, 2016 Posted May 25, 2016 I'd imagine it happens in a small minority of cases.
preraph Posted May 25, 2016 Posted May 25, 2016 Dreams can be misinterpreted and could be about something else entirely, but if you're dreaming about being mad, you're probably mad about something, though it may or may not be the person in your dream. That said, it is common enough to suppress anger and then your subconscious deals with it and when it's time, pushes it through to you to deal with consciously. My guess is whatever she was mad about in the dream may not be what she's really mad about you about but that she is mad at you about something. If you are patient and then ask her about it in maybe a month, she might have more insight.

If you are patient and then ask her about it in maybe a month, she might have more insight. I wouldn't bet on it. If she's using the dream as a scapegoat for why she's angry, the maturity level may not rise to be able to truly discuss things. I would break up with her over it. Then she could be mad all she wants.
