OMG I’m so mad at my DP!

I went out for the evening and my DP had someone in to redecorate our bedrooms. He replaced our (expensive) super king bed with a single bed and duvets on the floor, and the entire room was (badly) painted with trolls and superheroes! Our children had bunkbeds but the baby had to sleep on a hammock on the steps.

Obviously I was dreaming 😂 my DP just woke me up on the sofa where I’d wrapped myself in a blanket because I had a sore throat. I told him, jokingly, how mad I was at him, but honestly it’s taking me a while to calm down and go to bed properly. I don’t think I’ve ever been so angry, asleep or awake!

AIBU to ask, what is the worst thing you’ve dreamt your partner/family member did? (Lighthearted!)

Mine let Alice Cooper cut our grass, I was so embarrassed!! I had asked him and dd2 to do it and came round the corner and they were sitting there with drinks and snacks while Alice Cooper in full concert regalia dutifully marched up and down mowing away. I was really cross with both of them (not Alice obviously)

Alice Cooper is a keen golfer, so probably has opinions on how to keep a nice bit of grass - your children were probably right to leave him to it!

I dreamt that DH took the dog back to the rescue and came home with a different one because it was a nicer colour. I went absolutely mad at him when I stopped crying and woke up properly.

Also dreamed he had an affair with someone called Olive Green poor bloke woke up to me fast asleep yelling 'pack your shit and fuck off'!

I was furious with DH for bringing home a puppy. It was whimpering and I was Big Mad, no way was I getting up for a puppy he'd brought home. I woke up properly and realised it was newborn DS2 making noisesBlush

Yes, have you ever had a decidedly hot dream about someone totally unsuitable (and not even sexy) and then started to look at them in a new light? It's... weird.

God yes, all the time!!!

Drifting off topic but slightly, but on the prophetic side of dreams, I once had a very involved one about being in my late Nanas kitchen with my late Mum who was furious with me because the police were on the way up to the flat to arrest me for stealing tuna. Not a Dan of tuna, I'm a salmon gal, so I was protesting my innocence and was shown a Victorian style warrant and everything.

Couple of days later, I was scrolling through news stories, and up came the story of the cleaner who was sacked from a big city firm for "stealing" a leftover tuna sandwich from a corporate event. (All in favour of perks on the job, personally) but I swear I had never heard of that story at any point prior to that dream.

I dreamt that he was a biscuit.
He's an ex now, but nothing to do with him being a biscuit.

Had a recurrent dream off & on for yrs, about DH cheating on me, always the same dream, only ever saw the other woman from behind, so height, figure, hair, never saw her face-on. 10 yrs of this dream, it happened, so now Ex-DH.....

Fuck me OP. !!!
That’s mad !!!!! & awful at the same time 😕..
Sorry that happened to you x

Ohwhatfuckeryitistoride · 13/06/2025 07:58

Oh my goodness, I had one last night and woke up furious with my Dd. She (in rl) is in long term relationship with a lovely young man. I dreamed she told me that she’d been talking to a boy from school(not real), posh farmer type(so the type of bloke she hates) and was moving back an splitting her time between here and Amsterdam, where she lives. I was absolutely raging at her and she was telling me I was old fashioned and that’s just how things were. All the time we were in the Dales, in the middle of winter. Then a vintage car (red so I dream in colour) pulled up and this older man asked if she (called her by her name)needed a lift. We got in and I asked how he knew her and he was this lads father. Well, I was fuming again and demanded he let us out, so he did, in the snow by the side of the road in Yorkshire. Raging! 🤣🤣

I literally dreamt last night that my teenage daughter was drilling out my ex’s teeth with a pneumatic drill… he was unconscious. Myself and my sister were just watching 😂

Deebee90 · 13/06/2025 01:23

I’ve just bought a house with my partner but currently staying at my family home 40 mins away. I had a dream that he bought me a McDonald’s breakfast but then took it to the new house by mistake. When I said I was at my families he ate it. I woke up so mad for a min haha

BasilandTom · 13/06/2025 01:22

I often dream about DH being mean to me. I will tell him about what he’s been up to once we’re both awake and he apologies for being an utter tool in my dreams 😆 A few years ago, DH was so awful to me that in my half awake / asleep haze I lashed out and kicked him in bed. I was furious and the fury just bubbled over. I am NOT a violent person in my waking life at all but apparently have a short fuse in my sleep 🙈

Juiceinacup · 13/06/2025 01:19

It was me who sinned in my dream I broke up with DH and got married to Ken Livingstone, many years ago when he was Mayor of London, god knows why we live hundreds of miles from London. I made the mistake of telling my DH who thought it was hilarious and for ages after he would tell me when he had seen my other husband on the news or read some nonsense about him.
What I didn’t tell DH was that Ken was an amazing lover and great kisser otherwise I’m sure DH would have been very off with me the next day

ohfourfoxache · 13/06/2025 00:47

DH cheated on me, not only with my sister but also my aunt

Woke him up crying and saying “you’d tell me, wouldn’t you?”

He’s also sold the house without telling me and moved us all into a mouldy shit hole

Poor bloke gets all sorts of grief in the mornings 🤦🏻‍♀️

Dontlletmedownbruce · 13/06/2025 00:14

I had a dream once that I fancied my Gran. Wtf.

In my 'defence' she was younger in the dream, in her 20s and was a good looking girl. Also I'm not gay, I don't know if that makes it better or worse. I'd like to think I was my Grandad in the dream

Mine cheated in my dream..... I was so angry at him n didn't speak to him for days 🤣 poor bloke was so confused
Another time I was asleep, he kissed me on the forehead and I'm a sleep talker I shouted "f**k off I don't want coffee, I hate it" 🤣🤣🤣

I’m sorry? Days?

I have a recurring dream that dh keeps a alligator in the spare room. We don't have a spare room and there is definatly no alligator in our flat.

When I was a child my parents had a small rose bed in the middle of their garden it had 4 rose bushes in a line and dsis and I called it the rose grave or just the grave. Fast forward several years later and my dd was a few weeks old and slept in a cot in my room, I had a nightmare that dd died, I was holding her and was at my parents home, Dad came in with a shovel and told me not to be silly, to stop holding the dead baby and I had to go and bury her in the rose grave and he handed me the spade. I woke up screaming, woke dd who also started screaming and wasn't impressed by being snatched from her cot and cuddled and kissed by a sobbing mess of a mother (my now exdh slept through it all). Later that day my parents popped round for some reason and I shouted at my dad that I was not going to bury my dd and he was horrible for telling me to and if he ever said it again I would hit him with the bloody shovel!
Poor man was absolutely horrified. I had to explain the dream, my dm eventually saw the funny side but dad and I never did even though the rose grave had been replaced by lawn years before and dd was clearly alive and well. It just felt too real.

On a lighter note, I still remember a really weird one from my teenage years about having a steamy encounter with John Inman of all people, which was happening as we went backwards down a helter skelter. My family couldn't understand why I'd leave the room if there was a re-run of Are You Being Served on. Hormones. Bloody hormones 🤭

MistressoftheDarkSide · 12/06/2025 21:39

While I was still married to my now ExTwatDH, I twice dreamt he'd died - once hit by a car, once being shot. They were the most vivid, long detailed dreams, right down to being in the hospital, dealing with his parents, the whole nine yards. Both times I woke up and was shocked rigid to find him sleeping peacefully beside me, and utterly furious I'd had to go through the whole dream experience.

I then was really widowed three years ago when my subsequent partner of 11 years died unexpectedly, and it felt like an even more intense Groundhog Day experience.

Dreams are so weird, it's like being tortured by the subconscious sometimes. DP has "visited" in my dreams several times since he's been gone, and it's horribly conflicting.

I probably need a damn good therapist. A real one, not ChatGPT or Claude thanks.

Pessismistic · 12/06/2025 21:22

Flirting and cheating right in front of me. Ha took a while it felt so real at the time.

Oh yes! Then see them the next day (boss) with it fresh in your head and think I had no idea you you were allergic to the syrup you were licking off me and I had to resuscitate you using a specific sticker from my DC's wardrobe.

Totally bizarre 😳

I once had a very hot dream about dh’s best, lovely so not hot, friend. I couldn’t look at him for ages.

I remember being livid with Mr del a few years ago

In real life,it was a few days from my birthday

In dream life,I was asleep with Mr del next to me

I heard the bedroom window open and Donald Trump came climbing through,clutching a birthday cake,complete with candles

I took the cake off him and went to unzip his trousers to give him a bj and glanced over to see Mr del sat on the edge of the bed,grinning at me

I woke up with a jolt and burst into tears

Mr del was at work (he worked nights at that point) and I was fuming with him for weeks for not stopping me

He thought it was hilarious when he got home (in real life) and asked if Mr trump fake tan his willy or did he stop at his neck?

Honest to God,it took weeks for me to look him in the eye again
