Answer #1

ok the response above was VERY unhelpful…if anything it probably ,made you more upset. you should really try and get him to a therapist. there are people out there who specialise in dream therapy and they may be able to help stopping him getting violent in his sleep. I am not specialised but it could be that he is worried he will not be there for you all soon, maybe he is trying to fight off things that can hurt you when he is asleep, but of course he is asleep and cant tell reality from his dream.

I STRONGLY suggest you see a doctor or a therapist for advice. leaving this up to yourself will only make it more dangerous. I hope this was useful. =) I hope this was useful.
