Stress dreams??

[Shy Tall Guy]

What do you dream about when you are under stress?

I often dream that I am back in High School (which I hated), or that I am back in the military (which I didn't so much hate as I hated not being able to quit if I wanted).

I also dream I am in a building and I can't get out; I keep going from one room to another and never being able to get out - often the doors and windows get smaller and smaller until I can't get through them.

I guess I have a little bit of a claustrophobia and fear of being trapped in a situation; my fave dreams are when I am in the country in a wide open meadow.

I had a horrible dream last night where people were trying to force me to think and act and feel in different ways than what was natural to me.

I can never remember my dreams maybe I never dream at all.

Oh my gosh....

.....when I am under stress I always dream that it is a Sunday night and I have to go to school the next day. Whenever I have something important or something that needs to be done correctly the next day, that is always what I dream about. I didn't really like school all that much as I found that to be stressful so I guess that's why I dream about it when I am under pressure.

I also have dreams where I am in school and I can't find my classes. I keep wandering around the halls not knowing where I'm going. It's terrible to be in that situation in a dream because when I wake up I usually have a headache and feel so disoriented.

When I am over stressed, I tend to dream of the night my son died. It is always the same dream, I am in the church, but I can't get to him in time. I try to do something relaxing on the really stressful days & that helps sometimes.

lets see for almost over 2 months now I've been haveing nightmares of.... 'Things' chaseing me. Monsters around every corner. People attacking me. FIghting endless odds to save people and ending up dead (then i wake up sweating)

Under stress, or under influence of other...less than good experiences.

I usually get the falling dream...you know the one where you fall off something, and fall and fall and fall, and wake up in sweat the instant you'll hit the ground.

That and the drive-by dream......

Dreams of Being in Slow Motion

Times when I'm trying to throw punches or escape and I'm the only one who feels like they're moving underwater...

But this iz a part of last night's dream that I woke up remembering and told my girlfriend...I wuz returning to a bar with an acquaintance for whom some lady said she had the hots for, as we searched for her and then saw her, just then some people in police uniforms burst in the back door and proceeded to start shooting up the place...I ducked into the bathroom but wuz shot many times and played dead the entire time...Friends finally found me and feared I wuz dead, but I refused to die and lived to be a little scarred, but everyone thought it wuz worse than I did...The horrifying thing about it all wuz that different people kept shooting me even though they thought I wuz dead, just to make sure that they had killed everyone...

So I decided this is a good morning to pound Heinekens and listen to the Beatles...And get "Lit"...(oh, and it turns out they weren't really cops)

Another set of dreams I have when I stress are:

1) I loose something and can't get it back; like last night I dreamt I had a hole in the bottom of my motorcycle pannier and things I put in to take with me kept falling out.

2) I am near or in an running airplane and the prop or wings are too close to something else, or me - or I am flying and I can't get above/through power lines. Or I am moving the plane and barely touch the prop, and the plane starts.

i dont dream at all when i'm stressed.. and that's mostly because i have the hardest time falling asleep.. i'm one of those people that makes themself sick from stress

just the other night i was really worried about someone special cuz he was going somewhere (a ways away) and said he'd call me when he got there.. and gave me an estimated time.. an hour after that time, i still hadnt heard from him and i got really freaked out that the worst had happened.. so the stress levels went up, and i started to feel really sick, my stomach was wrenched until i finally did hear from him... and of course, because of this i couldnt fall asleep and ended up just sitting by the phone waiting for it to ring
