I think it's just a dream, I don't think anyone should put that much thought into it. If I woke my wife up every time I had a bad dream neither of us would get much sleep.
Why would I want to wake him up to tell him about my nightmare? If he is sleeping peacefully, more power to him. I know it's just a bad dream, so I don't need for him to tell me that. I can tell myself that it was just a nightmare and to go back to sleep. If I'm that upset, I can get up and watch tv, or get on the computer, etc. No need for him to lose sleep over it too.
If my SO had a disturbing dream, I would want her to wake me to discuss it and comfort her. It is not always possible for a lot of people to recall their dreams except just after awaking from them.
Dreams are a way for our subconcious to process things (thoughts, worries, issues) left undone by the concious. I myself have very, very vivid dreams and always have except during certain medications (perscribed!). Some people can actually alter the outcome of their dreams i.e. knowing they are dreaming and choosing a different door to open, if you will.
I would ask your SO if he would mind if you woke hem should a bad dream come about again. Good luck and good night.
Well, I really never seem to have nightmares myself. Although I did have trouble sleeping back when that "saggy toes" thread was on here. THAT one had me quite upset! My fiance calls me whenever, about whatever. In fact, I had a thread about that. She has never woke me up about a bad dream, but if she did, it wouldn't upset me. I would comfort her til she went back to sleep, then I would go back to sleep. Unless, of course, I happened to comfort her so well, she decided upon something MUCH better than sleep.
I usually wake my husband up if I have a really intense bad dream. I have had some majorly bad ones where I've dreamed someone close to me has died and the dreams are so vivid I just couldn't shake it. He doesn't seem to mind giving comfort. Now if I woke up every night he would probably be a tad upset but the occasional one he doesn't seem to mind.
