I think I have some form of this.
Reason I say so is the random dreams/nightmares I continue to have close to 30 years later. Maybe people have these type of dreams and I’m just tripping? So I just woke up to one, basically I’m in my moms neighborhood and I’m driving with my brothers. I’m making a u-turn in a intersection in the hood right after passing my moms house(I never do this in real life but in my dream I’m doing it) right after I do it another car does the same thing and it triggers in my mind that he’s following me. It speeds up next to use and it starts to fire at us, of course I immediately wake up right after.
I don’t have these dreams every day or have any ptsd problems in my waking hours, it’s just these dreams that I have randomly. I can go a year without one but then have multiple in a month or a year. Again maybe this is what normal people dream too and I’m just tripping?. But I think this might be from experiencing things as a kid, there’s 2 stories that stick out to me when I was a kid that REALLY shook me. I was about 8 years old and I’m with my bro in the room watching Dinosaur show and all of a sudden I hear a bunch of gun shots that feel like it’s right outside my window, hearing gunshots at night was a normal thing but not this close. So we jump up and race to the living room and we can hear my sister in her room talking about it so we go over there. From her window we see a car that’s getting shot at and we see some woman running from it. These woman run towards our house and try to open our door but the door was locked so they jumped in our flower bed right next to the door. All I could think about as a shorty was they were going to shoot at the house in trying to shoot the woman, I end up hitting the floor and remember the cops coming later that night. I think my sister called the cops. Following this I can remember sleeping on the floor for many nights being worried that the house was going to get shot.... The other incident I was about 9 or ten and I walking home from school, I stop at a intersection waiting for the car to pass through when all of a sudden he pulls out a gun right in front of me( I was like ten feet away) and he lets the thang ring out in the air.
I can still remember exactly how the gun looked, it was a silver revolver, big gun.
Ever since that when I would walk him from school I would look around my surroundings and make sure everything was good and then start running down the block before I could scan the area agian, or try to walk with a friend. It’s as if I was walking through the jungles of Vietnam.
Is this normal?
