Ive had this dream about being shot in my country, where IM Still living And was confined to my house, looking to Marry my fiancee before seeking asylum in USA, Plot twist is that this time is that I finally saw how it happened which is Weird because I only remember Going to sleep the night I was shot "for real" which was, According to this dream, on dec.'16, And woke up on Jan'17in the hospital

I dreamed about this same dream like 4 times back in early '16, I remember having told my fiancee about them, she recalls everytime I told Her about them on this New dream

, I could use technology, walk, feel the sun's heat, feel Wind, pee, Poo, eat, days passed, time passed Accordingly, had congruent And logical conversaciones with people&family&gf, felt the coldness of a coldness shower, etc...(too vivid, tbh) It was so long before I fell back in this dream reality again...

Story so far is Going the exact same as my Dreams(I recognize everywhere I go, even if I don't remember having being in a place before)

IM scared of waking up back where I left off on '16 And having all the suffering ---And with (New on this dream) diplopia(semi double vision, given that the bullet cut some eye nerves), ---being in "vain" And have it all being a dream again, And again waking up right before marrying

TL;DR: am I Going crazy? Got shot in the brain And had Brain surgery(according to this dream)

I think this is a dream because when I am awake, I never question reality
 
Hi Hnrefugee, I'm sorry, I'm a little confused by your post. Is this all a dream, or are there parts of it that you have actually experienced?
 
Sounds like some form of dissassociation possibly if the events actually happened to YOU. Other possibilities exist, the whole thing is I am not there to verify and gather more information. Talking to a mental health specialist seems totally reasonable to me and attendance by other people who were there with you at any point in time of these events you dreamed about. Granted I'd like to remind you we're almost halfway through 2017, do you have recall of time during this period or are you missing it/unaware of what happened possibly.

I'm not sure how your culture views things. Its been stated by 'experts' that the culture in SW Asia or the Near and Middle East perceive death differently than in 'Western cultures' and thus doesn't lend itself to development of PTSD, which I can't judge either way not having grown up there, but even if its valid, people still vary from the so-called norms of behavior. I wish you well and that your experience turns out for the better and good luck in your new life.
 
I don't know, I do remember my dreams , they were extremely vivid , vision like, it feels as if this all iS a re-run of one of those dreams, it's like having a flashback on steroids, I really don't want to wake up because I think but I will fare well if I leave the country with my wife, I don't remember anything about what really happened all I remember is going to bed and dreaming I was being helped to an ambulance, I don't remember ever leaving my house when everyone says I left

So is it that other people are telling you something actually happened that you have no recollection of? You believe these are dreams not memories, but other people are telling you they are memories?
 
No one believes that I dreamt all of this early 2016, I mean I don't remember leaving my house but according to my family I did leave, got shot as in I touch the back of my head and i have the scarred skin where the bullet went in, I remember the hospital, but I don't ever remember leaving... What if I'm still lying in my bed waiting to wake up on 2016, and all of this I've endured and fought for goes away???? Nooooooo!!!!!!!!! Please no
 
Thanks for clarifying. I agree with @woundedmind that it sounds like it could be that you are experiencing some form of dissociation.

Have you been able to speak to a mental health professional about any of this?
 
Thanks for clarifying. I agree with @woundedmind that it sounds like it could be that...
Yes, he tells me to accept the fact that it happened, and to fight for what I want, he encouraged me to proceed with my marriage plans...

But he never told me why I didn't recall leaving the house... I was addicted to driving, do maybe I slept-drove? I mean.... It's crazy, but my visions were exactly like this, and this is just another dream!!! I don't want to wake up please
