Is it normal to get ptsd in dreams?

Well, when i was in the hospital after my appendix burst i would get these dreams where i was in ww1 fighting in the trenches, we were a small batallion of british doughboys. I was there for gas sttacks when..... When half of the... When half of the men died cause the germam soldiers cut slits into the gas masks. The poor kids.... They- they didnt know how horrible war is. It was like the whoke world forgot about us. We were just abandoned....... In the middle of france. Just like lost dogs... THEY LEFT US THERE LIKE DOGS! We- we didnt even have enough food to go aroubnd. Then we got a radio in! We were so happy, we wanted to go home, see our freinds, familt, wives, we had hope once again, then the fucking general had us go " Over the top." everyone then thought that thus meant that we would finally get back at the jerries for killing our men in cold blood... They we're all so damn patriotic, then some kid named john who insisted i was his freind was so happy he could finally fight. The poor kid. He didnt know. He didnt know!

It was finally time, time to go over the top of the trench... Then the machineguns fired.... John... He- he was screaming, wailing crying that he would see his mum again..... The poor kid, noone knet what was hppening, then the sons of bitchies gased us.... It was a slaughter trap, only me and another soldier survived, ONLY 2 OUT OF 308 OF US SURVIVED! they were all trapped in there... Gone. Now, now i cant even baRe the movie war horse. The bullets sinking into the men's skin... Oh my god! I just cant bear it!

Note from the reccorder: "war, war never changes."

    Note from the reccorder: "war, war never changes." Really, how did that not ring any bells...

    PTSD from a "war experience" you only had in a dream? No.

    Sounds more like making up an excuse to lash out.

    And frankly I think that's a bit of an insult to real soldiers who have very real experiences to work through.

    This is what happens when people post on the internet while stoned.

    Uh... so... you're saying that a scene from a movie got into your dreams and felt very real?

    If so, that's somewhat normal. Kind of impressive it was so vivid, but I can't imagine it would be fun.

    If that's not what you're saying, then you're either writing really bad fiction for IIN, clinging to a delusion, or trolling. Or you're like 120 years old. Not sure which...
