I had a dream one night that someone was stalking me, and I hid under a stairwell. When the person walked by, I punched him.CombatWombat wrote:I once had a nightmare about people intruding into our house, in my sleep I let loose with a left hook that connected with my wife's face. She started crying and I woke up feelin horrible( worst I've ever felt for my actions) and had to explain my self to her while checking her face out in the bathroom. She understood but had a welp on the side of her face. The ironic part is that in my nightmare I was defending her from the intruders. Now she sleeps with my left arm under her pillow.
Unfortunately, I also swung for real and connected with the side of my wife's face. It obviously immediately woke both of us up. We stared at each other and I said "Did I just punch you?" She said "Yeah, I think so" while rubbing her face. I apologized and explained about my dream and we both went back to sleep. We were both actually laughing about it at the time.
We both still chuckle about that night and how it seemed to be a metaphor for how our marriage eventually went.
