How often do you have witness related dreams?

How often do you have dreams relating to your past life as a witness?
I?ve left about 3 years ago and quite regularly have dreams featuring my witness friend and often I am in a Kingdom hall or assembly and I can tell my friends don?t like me because I?m having doubts or I tell them outright they are wrong.
My brain seems to think subconsciously I?m still a witness while another part, the brainier bit, is telling it no.
What dreams do you have, and what do you think they mean?

I just had a bad dream night before last. I have done a partial fade..although many know I no longer attend meetings, there are people I love (and miss) who I have not contacted to tell them I have stopped.. I dreamed the other night about ended up stuck at some party or baby shower where one of the people I have not yet spoken to, was at and suddenly something was said about us celebrating Xmas and she looked at me realizing I was no longer a witness, someone I love so dearly, and she told her family to pack up their things, that they were leaving.. (The reality of our world as xJWs of those conditional friendships and the shunning response).. Of course everyone was now looking at me and I said No.. I should be the one to leave.

the look on her face as she registered the reality of me quiting is still with me.. One of failing her.. her disapointment in me.. her belief that I was lying to her by being there when I no longer should.. and her total look of wanting to never look at my face again was like a knife in my heart.

Not normally, but a couple of days ago I dreamt about my JW sister. In it she gave both me and my brother (who is df'd) a letter saying she loved us and wanted to put all the JW stuff behind us and just be a family again.

I dont usually remember dreams at all, but this one was very clear. Wishful thinking I suppose.

At least once a week. Hubby says if I'd stay off these forums and the support group I'm on, that I'd stop feeding my mind with the JW crap. I tried this---for about five days....and I went nuts wanting to see who was posting and what was being said, LOL!

I usually dream the same basic thing, being at a meeting at the KH or at a bookstudy---and I wonder what the heck I'm DOING there!! I feel VERY awkward and uncomfortable and people are standing off away from me, and then I wake up. Weird!

Omg sunspot me too. I dream mom has tricked me by putting out my clothes and I've mechanically put them on and gone even though I know I dont do that anymore. Last night I dreamed I showed up and I had a talk because somehow they forgot to take my name off the list and I just jumped around to random parts in the bible and read some verses in each part without applying anything for a couple minutes while the "school overseer" was looking very agitated and my householder just sat there then I got up and walked off the stage.

When I first left, I had nightmares all the time, about two or three a week. That gradually went away and was replaced by dreams of my "friends" telling me "It's not too late. You can come back." From there, the dreams featured my "friends" begging me to come back, some even crying.

Last week, I had a dream where I went fishing with my best friend. And he was back to being my best friend. It was like nothing had ever changed from when we were kids (including our waist and hairlines). I'll take that dream over the others any day, or in this case, night!
