Dreams After the Military

Many Veterans report having 'strange' or 'weird' dreams, dreams they'd never had before, when they transition out of the military.  It is completely normal and OK to have different dreams when you become a civilian.  Dreams are your system's way of processing life experiences and we all have them.  If you're sitting there thinking you're the only one, you're not alone.  Some dreams I've heard from Veterans:

• can't find unit or uniform
• unable to get through the gate and back on base
• late to formation
• wearing wrong uniform or part of uniform
• forgot to shave / put hair up

You don't need to do anything with the dreams, except let them run their course.
