Stress dreams
I’ve had this dream!! Many many many times! Usually it’s that I’ve gone back to school but apparently have been skipping for months. I get to my locker and can’t remember my lock, then I try to find my class but I can’t remember what class I’m suppose to be in. It’s the weirdest feeling.
Another “stress” dream that I have is that I need to get to work and I can’t. For some reason or other I’m in a place or situation that puts me in the position of not getting to work on time. For some reason I can’t phone and say I’m going to be late or I don’t think of it anyways. It always seems like such a tragic thing, like it’s going to ruin my life if I don’t get to work lol.
My favorite (only because, as one of my coworkers said, it proves what’s most important in my life) and most frequent lately is that I’m somewhere interesting or important…and I don’t have my camera. One I remember I was at a hockey arena somewhere and there were some NHL players there and for some reason I had left my camera at my cousins house. I remember leaving the arena and running through this little town trying to get to her house and back (never finished that dream…). In one my boyfriend and I were leaving for our Europe trip (which we are actually plannign to take in September) and I think were either in the airport boarding or already on the plane, and I didn’t have my camera bag with me. It was the worst feeling ever! lol
I had a new one the other day. I was apparently visiting my Aunt in Ontario. My boyfriend had decided to leave earlier then we’d planned for some reason or other. My first panic was when I thought he’d forgotten to leave my plane ticket, then I found it. Then my next stress was that I didn’t know what time I had to be at the airport (this was apparently on the day I was to be leaving). Then it was trying to find all my stuff to get packed. And for some reason there were spiders everywhere…but I’m not sure what that had to do with anything.
Now what I’m calling ‘stress’ dreams are dreams I have when I fall back to sleep after turning my alarm off in the morning, mostly just on days that I have to work. It’s basically like my brain waking me up so I don’t sleep in too late lol. It’s very weird!
Heeheehee. As for me, I’ve had the recurring dream of running late for an exam!

That’s a really scary dream to have, especially when we’re already out of school and that shouldn’t even be on our minds. That’s a neat comic you made. Those other dreams you shared are amusing too. Dreams are always amusing, because it’s funny what our brains put together when we’re out cold.

I think your recurring dreams are your subconscious mind telling you something; like you’re too stressed out, perhaps? =P

Not an uncommon dream. I have had dreams where I was in class and remembered that I forgot to go to another class. It was really bizarre and stressed the hell out of me. However, it really is common… I have heard a lot about others having similar dreams whether it was school or work.

I haven’t had that dream. But I have had dreams where I was late for something. I’ve even had times when I was awake and wondering if I forgot to do something or if I was in the right room or something. It’s horrible thinking that you missed something that everyone else seems to know about. I hope you are able to get rid of your stress dreams. It’s bad enough being stressed in reality lol.
