I have had most of the above stated dreams about failures of weapons, ammo, legs not working and superhuman bad guy...
The one that sticks in my mind the most though was one about my father and myself getting into an argument/fight, I was sooo mad at him that I grabbed a knife and tried to cut his throat. The real sad part came when I was starting to cut him he sadly relaxed and actually helped me kill him by reminding me how to do it properly, he sighed in release as I bled him out right there.
In my dream I cried so hard my soul ached, and when I woke up and I told my wife about this dream she felt very sad for me as I broke down and cried like a baby. I felt sooo guilty and evil...
Anyways, I don`t have any idea where this dream came from as he and I have gotten along great for years, He`s the only blood family of mine that is still alive except my wife and daughter. He lives down in California on the high desert in Helendale, near Victorville.
He is so far away, and I love him so much, that I am at a loss as to why I would have a dream like that...
Anyways, thanks for listening- I think it helps me to share...
I hope your dreams/sleep improve.
Sincerely, Howard

Git, strange but does not in any way, in my opinion, mean there is anything wrong with you. You are amoung friends.
If there is anything....well, you know the rest buddy.

Son; Quite possibly Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome. C.R.Sam is probably right on the best way to deal with it. Running out of ammo was always one of my concerns in real life and it was the focus of most of my weird dreams. Can be a real PITA, but after a while I got over it. Interestingly enough the dreams didn't start until years after, probably because I kept the monster locked up most of the time and kept him drunk a lot too.
I guess the secret is to let the monster out now and then so you are no longer afraid of him. Then he goes away.

You have to be there when it's all over. Otherwise you can't say "I told you so."
Better days to be,

I went out last night with a bunch of buddies to watch the Lions vs Tampa Bay game and got hammered. Fortunately, the bar is only 5 minutes away. Unfortunately and fortunately, the alcohol didn't help me sleep at all. I still woke up.
Today, I went to see my doctor in order to get that special little signature for my HMO. Now I can see a therapist and find out the source of my problems. I never thought I would be seeing any type of shrink.
Next week, I have an appointment at the VA to seek further help and advice. Wish me luck.
I guess it's true. You may leave the military, but the military never leaves you
