RM stands for returned missionary *and* recurring nightmares.

I'm not trying to be a jerk, but am I missing something?

Recurring Nightmares = RN, not RM. Right?

Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you are going for.

About 4:00am this morning...I wasn't even thinking about RM, RFM, nightmares, or anything related. It suddenly dawned on me that nightmare begins with an N...

The really disturbing stuff ended a few years ago but I still have these strange, innocuous little dreams about the church. Like passing the sacrament and then walking out of the church, still holding the tray. Short with no trauma or craziness involved but still weird. I don't know if they'll ever go away.

Reminds me of the nightmare I had about going back to the MTC for a mission. That was after I left the church--talk about scary!

I have a recurring nightmare that starts with me being called, in current times, on a mission. I quit my job, leave my wife and kids, and go to the MTV. The whole time, my dream "self" is having a horrible inner dialog about how I need to go home. I never get home in my dream....I always wake up.

I'm 47 years old and have this dream at least every few months since the age of 22. My nephew, a TBM, has the same dreams about going back to South America. I think we both have some form of PTSD.

F@&king cult.

Holy thet host....I was 85-87. Still having the dream.

There has been several threads on this on RFM, and it seems to be common.

In my last mission dream I refused to teach discussions with my companion, then ditched him at bed time and went back and told the family the truth. A good time was had by all. :)

Even in my dreams I'm a well-established exmo.

I used to have the dreams quite often too. Haven't had one for awhile now but they still come now and then.
