Dream

I read that narcs don't dream. I remember asking my narc if he dreamt when we were together and he told me he never dreams. Maybe because he has no conscious. Did your narc ever dream? I will ask any guy I meet if I decide to ever date again. Happy

dreams...

Hi My exN used to pride himself on the fact that he only needed 4 -5 hours (Tops) of sleep a night I was once relaying a dream I had the previous night he said to me "Im so jelous of your dreams, so, no ..he never ever dreamt I shall add that in that 4-5 hours much of it was fiddling on his mart phone playing solitare (said it made him sleepy)..not and checking his 'stock profolio" endlessly whew...this is one of those day that Im glad Im out, between that and always having to look "PERFECT" it was just exhausting

Mine dreamed for sure... he

Mine dreamed for sure... he even went through a phase writing them down to understand their meanings. I don't think not dreaming can be a true indication of a narc unfortunately, I wish there were such simple black and white indications such as this.

Journey on...

Dream

Mine used to dream and if it was not something sexual it was always about him winning a gun battle or killing some type of beast. Of course all about him even in his dreams.

good thread happy

I had been wondering the same thing. Only because I do still dream of him ever now and again... He always bragged about how silently and peacefully he sleeps and I can confirm that....particulalry after sex - one shot and he turns agains the wall and falls asleep straight away... He has said in the past that he had trouble sleeping sometimes and I guess that what he needs to have sex - to fall asleep more easily....

Restless

Mine was mostly restless at nights sleeping for a few hours, getting up, back to sleep. He said he never dreamt. It's a biological function though far as I know. I read about tests where people went crazy because they were woken up each time they began to dream. I wonder, do they become more and more mad because they cannot even dream like normal people?

Family that Couldn't Sleep

"The Family that Couldn't Sleep:A Venetian Medical Mystery" by DT Max is EXCELLENT. There is a real-life medical condition (caused by prions, related to mad cow disease) that's genetic, and its sufferers come down with it in middle age. They are unable to sleep, go into REM, sleepwalk, re-enact their dreams in real life. It's a creepy&terrible condition, and so far incurable. The ex-Psych prof found it unusual that I dreamt when I sleep. He also had insomnia. He found sleep&dreaming foreign. Especially dreaming. I am still a very vivid dreamer. In his favorite book "War and Peace",the cerebral Narc Prince Andrei jizzes in his sleep when he dreams.... of battle. The ex-P also liked St. Augustine's "Confessions",in which Augustine claims that since his conversion, he no longer has wet dreams. But I find it telling with Andrei. Normal people dream about sex, they find it pleasurable. I'm sure somatic Narcs have LOTS of sexual dreams. But Prince Andrei dreams of violence&has wet dreams about bullets whizzing past him.

it's so strange mine never dreamed either

It's so strange, i asked my 'n' if he ever dreamed about me, and he said' no i never dream'. i thought that was so bizzare, everyone dreams and remembers at least one dream every now and then.

Happy 1

mine had plenty of dreams and told me about many of them, so don't know about that one, he could not sleep very well and I think that may be from his subconscious mind, terrible insomnia

My Narc " The Dog Whisperer"

My Narc " The Dog Whisperer" Doesn't dream either. They don't dream because they have no feelings. I dream of him but they are nightmares. Hunter
