I have dreams of still being in the military. I always think “I couldn’t have been stupid enough to reenlist, this isn’t possible” while it’s happening.

- retr0nerd 4y agoI have these often as well. Had one the other night where I was headed back to bootcamp at 50. Somehow convinced myself in my dream that I could totally do it. I always wake up with severe anxiety and have to look around to make sure I'm not living in the barracks.
- PKop 4y agoSame here, with this exact reaction. "Why did I reenlist, I can't believe I would do that?" And I'm either deployed overseas back in combat or getting ready to leave. And I can't find my weapon or parts of my uniform or equipment.
- YZF 4y agoI served in Israel, mandatory service, and I used to dream for the longest while that my discharge papers got lost and I just stayed there forever ;) Since I'm making one random reply I might as well mention I used to dream about going to school and not being able to find my class. I think the dream had me skipping all classes (which I did, to go write code instead) for so long that I didn't even know what classes I was supposed to be in or where they were. Part of my school PTSD is why we (mostly) home schooled our kids.
