that would be scary

I'm glad it was only a dream. Maybe this is something that should be told to his Dr at the next visit.

Never a dull moment lol. I have a BIL who sometimes does crazy things in his sleep. He was once found walking down a major highway in the midddle of the night. Lucky for you he stays in the bedroom
hugs

You got a smile out of me this morning Toogie./Lillian

In your best Rod Sterling voice: There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call the Twilight Zone.

What a wonderful life you lead Toogie! he he he! Never a dull moment in your household. I do hope Hubby is o.k. after his night terror! Love Chris
P.S. Make sure you remember where you put that key!

It would be a bit scary...don't find that key too fast!!

At least you didn't wind up hog-tied. Maybe a sleep study is in order. Ask the doctor.

Oh Toogie, please be careful. Don't find that key... You live a very exciting life. lol

Toogie- as suggested your husband needs a sleep study done. The snoring is one sign the need for naps in daytime is another the chances are his oxygen levels are getting low causing the snoring, snorting, tossing sheet grabbing and his oxygen may even be low in the daytime causing tiredness unless it is only his not getting enough quality sleep at night. etc It is strange after our whole marriage of him snoring that now he lays still and not a snore all night, so it was an adjustment for me. The medication could possibly also change the sleep, give nightmares, if the nightmares and vivid dreaming only started after he started the medication but they may stop just getting his oxygen levels up. I live it too, but thankfully once they gave my husband the sleep mask he calmed totally at night except that he was in Iraq just before the war broke out and during those first really terrible months and lets just say it was terrible and they attempted to take him and other fuel truck drivers hostage, thankfully after the violence, you do not want to know, they eventually made it back to base, so we truly live with the night terrors and assailants attacking him. Some reason they only attack from the other side of the bed so I have not been attacked but because it can be scary you really would not need to do much more than talk to him and he would wake up then going back to sleep they don't usually start up a same dream, hope your husband does not, Denny generally does not though some nights it will start another different dream later in the night so have worked to try to limit the triggers if there are things but does not sound like your husbands would be triggered type experiences unless he was hog hunting recently. I also can lay my hand on his hand and call his name calmly not in a panic he does tend to be startled by that but I just say hes dreaming and he's home and safe and he needs to go to sleep and have better dreams. Denny has had blessings through our church priesthood, to help with the PTSD that has helped him a great deal, if the dreams are at all worrying to your husband and if your faith has something similar, it is worth giving it a try. It is wise to lock the gun cabinet if he walks etc in his sleep. I know how carefully I monitored Denny's mental state to know if the guns were Ok in our home. Definitely were under my lock and key for several years though my fear was not what he would do at night while asleep but while he was awake coping with what they had endured. 2 of those men did end up choosing suicide. So grateful your husband could tell you he was on a hog hut. Who knows what triggers long past memories.Could simply be a time of year a same chill air or absolutely nothing what so ever. Since it scares you, then after the sleep test I would calmly wake him when he goes into those aggressive dreams so he can hopefully stop at least the upsetting part of the dream as it is not restful to him and totally reeked havoc on your sleep to say the least- I am one to say stop it by waking him as soon as something seems to be stressful either to just him or yourself. Hope more restful night will soon become your normal. Pam

You most certainly need to tell your Doctor about this. It may sound funny but what if it is so real to him he hurts himself or you badly.

I was reading alone...then I get to where he's pointed toward you as to where the hogs went! I lost it! Just hope I didn't wake MY hubby that goes to bed several hrs before me! But he doesn't hunt hogs, thank goodness!!! Love the tales you share!! Yes, your life is never boring! Hope you weren't to worn out this morning from all the hog hunting last night!!

It really could be his medicine....My husband has lots of bad dreams also, and I believe it is one of his meds..

Oh my !!! I must sleep on this before I answer. Kay

What a fascinating post. I do hope you check with his doctor. My DH has not frightened me like that, but he does make the strangest sounds at night, He snores and snorts and whistles and more. He went for a sleep study and they didn't find anything wrong. I just keep a pair of earplugs by the bed now, so they are handy if he wakes me up, so I can get back to sleep. I hope you stay safe.

That's a funny styory, but a bit scary too. My DH did similar caused by BP meds until I demanded the dr change them. We were in a new home, not completely finished--the basement steps not installed yet. I caught him just as he opened the door and was about to walk thru into space--and a concrete floor below. So I have an idea how you felt! ,

That brings back memories. Within a couple weeks of being married, I awakened to my husband sitting up in bed and pushing at me. When I tried to sit up, he pushed me back down and yelled "Mother! Put that gun down!" A few minutes later he laid down and was asleep. Sure made me wonder what type of family I married into. lol. He still swears to this day that this did not happen! He ended up with sleep apnea and wears a mask at night. He still talks in his sleep but not the crazy behaviors.

YUKS..DONT FIND THE KEY..I WOULD BE SCARED HAVING GUNS IN THE HOUSE.CAN THEY NOT GIVE HIM A SEADITIVE.YOU SURE HAVE AN WILD NIGHTS...

well I can imagine this is scary....were you able to sleep after this?
