Does Anyone Else Have Recurring Dreams About Being Back In the Military?

I retired from Marines in 1994. VI had those sorts of dreams for around 5 or so years. Finally stopped having them.

I only did 3 year RA and 5 Reserve and NG and I still have recurring dreams about being back in the military. I am usually on a new tour in S. Korea or sometimes I waiting to get out of the service and I've missed my discharge date.

Always it was a good point and bad from when I was 17 to 29 Born on a Military Base raised in War by a LRRP Father forbidden to follow in his footsteps only to do so and lose him so young just coming to the realization of what the stories meant about Honor and Leadership and Command Ability. Authority is one thing I can authorize my dog to take out the trash but if the trash doesn't get taken out it's on me...laffs .it is up to us to pass this along Lean into It and Raise the next generation of War Fighters better than we ever imagined... They have the KSA and the Spirit...

I also have dreams of being back in the service. I attribute these dreams to missing the service.

Recurring dreams? No. Thoughts about it every single day, HELL YES!

Hmmm...I've been out since 1991 after two hitches and still have dreams once in a while about going back in to finish up my "20" for retirement, Being back on a ship deployed on a WESTPAC cruise, Looking frantically for my dress blue jumper top or badly needing a haircut and hoping no one notices! I think my favorite is being out in town and wondering if maybe I forgot about having the "Duty" that day and was I on the watch bill? I will typically wake up nervously from those dreams, remember where I am, laugh about it, think "KISS MY ASS CHIEF!", roll over and go back to sleep! LOL

But then again, every once in a while I have this weird dream about being back in High School working towards my diploma but then it dawns on me "Wait a minute! I have a bachelor's degree and I am over 50! What the hell am I doing sitting in this classroom with all these kids?

I've been retired 16 years and still do. Usually I'm out of uniform or late or something else. I think they're pretty entertaining.

I've been retired for 15 years and I still have recurring dreams about the navy. Sometimes I am out of uniform and this Chief I worked for is asking me why I do not have a uniform. I have no answer for why I do not have a uniform. In my dreams I go to different duty stations that I have never been to in real life. I thought I was the only one who had dreams about my military service.

Some times my dreams are very violent. I think that is because of the drugs I'm taking for Parkinson's disease. I scream and wave my fists in the air and fall out of bed. The VA gave me Clorazapan, but it did nothing for me.

Rather frequently....

Take 200 mil.seraqule you wont dream.
