Watching Yourself In Dreams

[Alittlelost]

I can't remember the last dream I had in which I was seeing through my own eyes. I'm always watching myself as though I'm somebody else. I don't re-experience my traumatic events through my eyes and the traumatic events are never the same as what actually happened or with the same people in reality involved. But they all have the same theme. It sickens me when people close to me take the role of the persons that hurt me. It confuses me when that role is taken by a completable stranger. The nightmares re-experiencing the same theme never involves the actual people though.

I have re-accruing themed dreams about being in positions I really don't want to be in as well as the actual events, for example getting married to people I don't want to marry or being in relationships I don't want to be in but to scared to end.

I got diagnosed with PTSD because one of my symptoms is nightmares relating to the trauma, however if the nightmares are not directly re-experiencing the trauma is it still classed as a PTSD symptom?

I believe ptsd is diagnosed on quite a complicated combination of symptoms. So I'm afraid I can't answer that question. But my worst nightmares often replace or combine characters and events, but the feeling that Im experiencing is more directly related to traumatic events.
