Do your military memories come to you in dreams?

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?
