I retired from the Army with 24 years of service back in late 2011. In the last 3 years, I have had dreams that I had to go back in the Military and I am now unable to keep up with the young troops and all the changes to the equipment and gear. The dreams are unsettling and very real to me. I know they are not about having an unsettled life that needs structure again, as I have an excellent job and great post-military career. I am finally settled in one spot and am very happy, so it can’t be an unhappy thing. Anyone else have these dreams?

I have been out for over 40 years and still have dreams. Nothing major for i was maintenance and later a First Sgt. The dream that I have most is that I got to inspect the barracks, that it has been weeks since my last inspection.

Once in a while i do. Usually involves two of my Navy buddy's, we've known each other for over 30 yrs now. We're always in some weird, off the wall, crazy situation. Nothing that's scary or life threatening though.
I take it as a sign to get together and hang out, go camping or something. Luckily we all live within a couple hours of each other.
