Dreams that leave me frustrated...

I'm one of those people who have dreams almost every single night, and I remember them the next morning. Usually they are silly things, but occasionally, I have ones that will really bother me the next morning. For example, I often have dreams where I am very frustrated. No one will let me do what I want to do, or they keep interrupting me. I'll wake up in the morning and be very upset, and sometimes even mad at my husband if he's the one in the dream who is upsetting me! I realize it's not fair to him, because he didn't do anything, but I can't help myself. Does anyone else have frustrating dreams and wake up upset?

I really don't have frustrating dreams. I do on occasion get frustrated because I cannot remember all the details of a dream. I find it incredibly frustrating to wake up and know you had a really good dream, you can vaguely piece togther certain aspects like a vision, a touch, but....that's all. and sometimes I wake up and remember the dream, but within an hour I cannot recall any of the details. No memory problems with anything else, in case y'all are wondering.

I have frequent dreams that leave me upset as well and angry at whoever was in my dream that upset me. It must be a normal thing for those that it happens too. I have to laugh because my hubby has upset me in my dreams too and I have given him a hard time all day over the dream, haaaa. The poor man,*laugh*.

i have woken up almost crying because i've had several dreams where my husband was cheating on me...in the same room or bed. it was extreamly disturbing and when i told my husband about it he just brushed it off and said its just a dream. i got really upset at him and felt really uneasy for a while. i know that those dreams are myself questioning myself. i'm always scared my husband will hurt me and the best way to do that is to cheat on me. i also don't have enough confindence in myself to think my husband loves me enough or if i'm pretty enough to satisfy him. i think that was a big part of my dreams. it might be the same for you. sometimes even if you see someone else in your dream, it doesn't mean its really them. or maybe your husband did do something that frustrated you the day before and your mind was just reliving that.

Haha! Yah, I've had frustrating dreams, and I end up having a bad mood when I wake up... It's funny because my boyfriend always starts explaining himself. Haha... And he always tell me it's just a dream, and it's not real, and stuff like that... It would take me a while to get a good mood back. :)

I'm SOOOO glad that someone else has dreams like this! I have dreams all the time that my husband is cheating on me ... and usually with one of my friends! When I wake up in the morning I won't talk to him because I'll be so mad. He will always ask what he did in my dream that's got me so upset! Let me know if you ever come up with a solution to this problem!

I've also had dreams where I know that I'm married, but I have no idea who my husband is and so I won't open my eyes until I figure out who's sleeping next to me! I'm usually very pleased to find out that my husband is exactly who I want it to be! I get these dreams from my dad who has been known to howl in his sleep and wake my mom up because he's biting her on the arm ... he was a warewolf in that dream!

I don't know if I'll ever come up with a solution on this! I just have a feeling that I'm under a lot of stress right now and that's how it's coming out. It is frustrating though!

I don't remember my dreams a lot and when I do they usually are not that vivid or disturbing. But I have a recurring dream about not having removed things in an apartment and being locked out. It is always so vivid that when I wake, it takes me a few minutes to come back to reality and know that I left that apartment a long time ago and I took everything with me. I think there must have been some unfinished business around my life back then but I don't know what it was.

Yes it is strange how some dreams we forget about them but some are so vivid that we can really bother us. No I do not have these kind of dreams and feel upset when I wake up or take it out on my husband.

I dream a lot. I have a recurring dream that makes me nuts. I am in a large house full of closets and cabinets. In my dream I am looking for something, I go through the house opening and closing doors. I have absolutely no clue what I am looking for. When I wake up, I feel stunned. Now, my husband has awakened in some very bad moods. He gets mad at me for something I did in his dream. (I think I am paying for a previous marriage that went totally bad) This still happens even after 25 years of marriage. I honestly think it is funny. At first it bothered me, because I felt like he didn't trust me. But now, I just laugh about it.

I sometimes dont remember my dreams. But sometimes I cant really forget them. The last dream I cant forget was when this guy with a white clothes is following me everywhere I go. The location of my dream was at my high school. Then afte somethime that dream came haunting me again maybe for about four years after when it happend last time.

I read Tarot and sometimes do dream interpretations. My advice is to write them down in a dream book. I find this helps because often your mind is trying to tell you something. Since I know a bit about symbology I would say( as a first remark without a history of dreams to look at) that you are frustrated in what you want to do and because you what your husband to change and he is not and you are not accepting that you can't change him. That would be an off the cuff guess. Yes I have dreams like that. Most of my dreams are flying dreams, but once in a while I dream that I can't find something, or can't get out of a place. It is quite common.

You may be right! I am trying to make a decision on a career choice and my husband has pretty much told me that it's up to me what I want to do.... I appreciate it, but it's almost as if I wish he'd just either say do it, or don't do it! I've often dreamed of flying too. I love those dreams! It's amazing how I feel like I'm actually flying over top things!

I think probably everybody does once in a while. my oldest daughter wasticked off at me for weeks after my younger one had a daughter, all because she said she dreamed I wouldn't love her kids any more once i had a granddaughter.

We usually do have dreams every night but just not everyone remembers. You're lucky to remember them though they aren't the kind you'd really like to have. I don't have frustrating dreams. I'm usually doing something in my fream that I enjoy.

I have dreams, not as often as I use to. Dreams have meanings, I was told that if you can remember your dreams clearly that they were from God but if you can't don't worry about it, it was nothing. you can pray and as God to give you the meaning of the dreams that you are having, if you believe and trust him he will. He could be trying to give you a warning of something that is going on or something that is about to happen.Good luck

yep ive heard the same thing. ive heard that you should pray for the person you dream about because God might be telling you to do that. my grandma says she doesnt remember her dreams unless they seem to have a message behind them. otherwise she doesnt remember.

Dream is a life we live in sleep. Dreams may also depend on our mood and the circumstances at the moment we go in sleep. But that's not mandatory in all cases. Everybody watches vivid dreams. There are few people also whom dreams dont touch in sleep and they have a plain sleep. Yes, frustrating dreams come to me also at times which frighten me the most. But as i wake up and meet the reality, my all fears get demolished and i feel quite glad.

I dream every night and for the most part I still remember what it was in the dream. Several years ago my husband had a little thing with another woman. I found out and marriage fell apart but after several months we managed to pull things to gether and go on from there. Anyway I say all that to say this.I still dream of it and when I wake up I am just as angry as the day it happend.I am just as hurt and jealous.On those days I really have to work to hold it all together.

Dreams are a representative of our frame of mind..we uselly have dreams because we were touched by something we heard or saw of felt.Or we have dreams regarding worries and anxiates that we have. when the dreams are so vivid we tend to remember them the next morning and its natural to be crossed with the person involved in your dream. Explain to your husband that you are just influanced by the dream and he shouldn`t be upset as Iam sure your feelings towords him change as the dream memory wears off..I always have really vivid dreams sometimes quiet frustrating but I have learned not to let them interfear with my life.But I know its hard...
