I want to know what prayers can I say to have my nightmares stop about my wife cheating on me? It feels so real.
 
Hi,

More than praying for the nightmares to stop,nightmares come as an indication of some emotional/spiritual, inner need etc which needs urgent attention. They are very much like physical pain which we experience which actually indicates the need to attend to some problem within - something is not the way it is supposed to be inside, and when we cannot recognise that at a conscious level, they come up to terrify us at night! While it is entirely possible that they are just attacks, in which case a simple prayer for covering and protection would do, it would be wise to see why they are coming and what they are pointing to - is there some mistrust in your relationship with your spouse? Could this be an indication of some insecurity you have ?
Again, dreams/nightmares come with very personal symbols; many times the people/things we see in dreams might not be those actuals at all as much as what they represent to us;
One other explanation of a spouse in a dream Ive heard (this was however the male coming in the wife’s dream) is about the persons creative side being depicted by the spouse.

The link Ive posted is a set of tapes of a seminar explaining the significance and interpretation of dreams biblically - they are by an evangelical ministry but I found them to be well balanced and really good!

God bless!
 
You might want to try to develop a trigger that makes you realize you’re dreaming. For me, it’s seeing a tornado or seeing a plane crash–that makes me immediately realize I’m dreaming.

Now if I could just attach the same realization to finding myself back at college with finals that I haven’t studied for, or finding myself on an interstate that is routed through a department store 😛

Ask God to take the nightmares away.

And tell your wife about them. Our fears are often revealed as foolish when they are shared.

– Mark L. Chance.
 
At bedtime we pray as a family for Our Lord to help us have good dreams and good thoughts through the night, and for our guardian angels to watch over us, protect us, and keep us safe. Praying to St. Michael the Archangel to defend you in spiritual battle is also very helpful.
 
Your best armor for protecting your marriage is praying for Your Wife
Scripture Prayers…

• That she would take on the full armor of God and be able
to stand firm against the schemes of Satan (Ephesians 6:10-18)

• That she would not be deceived by the lusts and sins
of the world.

• That she would be protected from temptation
and in humility receive the Word of God.
Then may she be a doer of the Word and not a hearer
only (James 1:14-16, 21-23)

• That she would be a good mother who correctly disciplines,
wisely trains, and gently loves her children (Proverbs 3:12;
Proverbs 23:24; Proverbs 21-23)

• That she would call on the name of the Lord to be her
deliverer, her strength, the One in whom she trusts,
her shield, and her salvation (Psalm 18:2-3)

• That God would prefect, confirm, strengthen, and
establish her to be the woman He created her to be
(1Peter 5:10)
 
I have found that when I have bad thoughts of almost any kind that I say the St Michael prayer and that seems to really help.

That works for me for any bad dream or even an Angel of God.
 
Problems that occur while sleeping have been aliviated for many, many years in the Southwestern parts of the United States which was imported from Europe. Inability to stay asleep, nightmares and assistance in going to sleep were common symptoms that were aliviated and/or reduced to a minimum.

Collect Holy Water in a container with a cap/lid. Upon going to bed bless yourself with Holy Water and say your normal prayers. Spell the name Jesus - leter by letter ending with Jesus protect me. Sprinkle a few drops of Holy Water on the pillow, and put the closed container of Holy Water under your bed.

You see, you have exibited faith with prayer and you did an action with the Holy Water. Faith & Works…see?:love:
 
Pray the Rosary before going to sleep and start praying it at once if you do have a nightmare…always works for me…

The Rosary is so very powerful against all evil!!!👍
 
the prayer practices are great, but nightmares, especially recurrent ones, can be the sign of unresolved conflicts that must be addressed, the first poster is right. You would not be posing the question in the way you did if this were not true. What is this dream really about? What is the breakdown in communication in your marriage, what is its source, what is its solution? While you are praying, pray for the answers to these questions. Love your wife, listen to your wife, talk to your wife. If you have trouble doing this, get counselling. Is the troublesome dream really about fears about her, or about yourself? Again, I repeat, questions like this are best dealt with in the confessional if they involve sin, and in counselling if they involve human relationships, not in these forums.
 
I agree that Rosary indeed may help.

But don’t forget to talk to God about your problem openly, pray together with your wife. Pray to God like this :

Father, you have sent your Son to die on the cross for me, to take away all of my sins, pains and all bad things in my life. I praise You for Your goodness O Lord, I thankyou for this Grace you have given me, that I may stand in your righteousness in Jesus Your Son. Now my wife and I are son and daughter of righteousness. I confess this faith that you have planted in me in the name of Jesus Your Son --that despite of anything-- I believe the truth that You bear witness through Jesus’s death and resurrection that we now are truly Your son and daughter. Therefore, take away all that does not come from You from our life : That you may guard what you have given us from the begining, that the world may not take it from us : all the things that You have given us from the begining. You are my only protection O Lord, my God and my savior, in whom I trust and hope. You have blessed my marriage from the first day, that now I turn to you that you protect and guard it and keep it against all kinds of evil. You are the Faithful One, teach my wife and me to be faithful to one another. Teach me to trust my wife as well. Grant us Your love that we may love each other truly. Turn the water into wine in our marriage and let us have sweet relationship even sweeter than ever. In the name of Jesus your only Son who has died on the cross for all of our sins. Amen.

God is the owner of everything, including good sleep, relationship, happiness, etc. Ask him that He may give you. Believe that He really want to give it to you for He has died on the cross bearing all of your infirmities and iniquities and terspasses, curses, deseases, including nightmares, stresses, etc.

Psalms 4:5
Offer the SACRAFICES of righteousness,
And TRUST in the LORD.

Psalms 4:8
IN PEACE I will both LIE DOWN and SLEEP,
For You alone, O LORD, make me to DWELL IN SAFETY.

May God bless you and your family
