How do your dreams remind you of your previous military life, thoughts, ill will, good will, stories, pictures or as in my case collages and all of the abover.

I have to recognize the strength of the military spouse before I get started, because without her support I probably would not have made it through my most challenged times I've had.
I'm sure I am not alone in sharing that I've experienced many rough nights, waking up sweating, yelling distance and directions, waking up in the prone and etc.....there was one reoccurring nightmare of a deployment event, I engaged an RPG shooter (I was dismounted at the time) and my gunner (in the turret) also engaged him - we saw a blood trail but never found him....he kept showing his face in my dreams....I figure he was hopped up on drugs however, he continued to stalk me at night in my dreams....anyone else experience this?

Sergeant Major, coincidentally, I just posted a similar question, and then came upon this thread. I have gotten quite a few answers, and it seems to boil down to "important" unfinished business that your brain cannot let go of.
My military dreams are the most often; I believe because the experiences were imprinted in my brain, starting when I was 18 years old. But I was also a Police Detective with 22 years on the job. I had a light aircraft crash that broke my back, so I went from Detective to Civilian overnight, and left a desk full of unfinished cases. My recurring dream is that I have been retired for 10 or 15 years, and have still been going into work, without pay, for all of this time to finally clear out those cases.
