Hello,
My name is Dylan, I am new here and this is my first post so I hope I'm doing this correctly. I have had a series of reoccurring dreams, nearly a different one every night. This has went on for some months now, and I'm just about at my wits end and don't know what to do. No matter what I try and can't seem to get them to stop. A little background; My wife and I are high school sweethearts and have been together nearly four years, married for two this coming May. We welcomed our son, William, into our lives in September of last year. Not long after his birth the dreams began. The most concerning of them are two that alternate regularly. On my sons first birthday, coming September of this year, my wife and I's family are all at our house and my wife decides to tell me that he is not my son, but that he belongs to her ex-boyfriend. Now in this dream, my reaction differs between two endings. First, I become distraught, and deservedly so. My alternate ending to this dream is that my wife's ex-boyfriend shows up at my house and it ends in blows between us. The next, is essentially the same dream, however it is my sons eighteenth birthday. Now keeping with the same topic, the others are just dreams of my wife having multiple affairs, with all sorts of random people. More strangers than familiar people, although her ex-boyfriend still comes in to these occasionally. I will mention that I have a certain distaste for my wife's ex-boyfriend, because when they were together he was mentally, physically, and regrettably sexually abusive towards her. To continue, these dreams occur nearly every night and I know in my heart that William is my son and my wife has never and hopefully will never cheat on me. However, her and I have a very open and honest relationship and I share everyone of these dreams with her every time I have one. This has inadvertently caused problems in our relationship, because my wife feels as though I don't trust her, but I do. My wife has even went as far as to take us all to do a paternity test to prove to me that William is my son. I didn't have any doubts and I certainly don't know. However, these dreams continue. I have stopped telling my wife out of fear that it will drive a wedge deeper between us. These dreams are tearing me apart on the inside, and my wife and I's relationship. I have no idea what they mean and I just want them to stop. Please someone help me.
