Hi All

As some you know my anxiety has been running high this past few weeks due to other health issues and I have been getting some repetitive weird dream which must be anxiety related.

The first dream I have been getting is I have gone to a friends house and parked my car and when I leave my friends I can't find my car and spend ages looking for it in my dream lol I must have had this same dream about 7 times now.

The second dream is that all my teeth fall out one by one I literally pull them out as they are so loose it's quite a disturbing dream but I looked this one up and it seems to be a well documented anxiety dream. Has anyone else had this dream?

The last dream I have been getting is more of a nightmare and I am not going to go into detail as it could be anxiety provoking for others.

I don't think we have ever had a thread specifically about dreams so was just interested to hear if others are getting similar dreams.

I have had these as well recently more directed towards being affected by being attacked while walking to work or someone breaking into my house and hurting my family.

All my dreams seem based on things I've seen on TV or news that have disturbed me which also were a big part of other anxieties I've faced.

Oh Hibee, I have had the teeth falling out dream so many times. I haven't had it in the last couple years, but when I was younger I had it reoccurringly. I looked it up one time and it means you feel like your life is out of your control, which rang true for me.

Hibee,

I, too have the weirdest dreams! I can't recall many of them but I know when I wake up I think to myself, what the heck was that dream all about!?

They are pretty vivid dreams, but I'm looking at it in a positive way...I must be in a pretty deep sleep in order to dream so I'm happy about that because I used to get up 5+ times a night.

I hope your anxiety is getting better and hope you have a good day!

I have had recurring dreams since childhood. Mostly nightmares unfortunately.

Some of them stemmed from books that were read to me. Children's books can be so frightening. lol

I had a horrible dream two nights ago. The night of the "fancy moon" as Park put it. :) It is sticking with me too, because it was so disturbing.

Like you, Hib, I won't go into it here. Last night was just busy, but not good either. Not too disturbing, just unsettling.

Mine wake me up, and make it hard to go back to sleep for fear I'll go back into it as I often do.

I even dream when I nap. :P

Hi JG

Yes I have had similar dreams were my house has been broken into or being chased and they are not pleasant dreams sorry to hear you are having these dreams they can really disturb your sleep.

Hi Mom

I must have had the teeth falling out dream a lot recently and yes I can relate to what you say life feels out of your control as that does ring very true with me at the moment. I am going to start writing my dreams down when I wake and do some investigating as I feel you can learn a lot from your dreams.

Hi SM

Sorry to hear you are having weird dreams to and yes I have woken many times during the night either in a panic or just think to myself what the hell was that dream about lol. I have also woke up once and the dream continued which was very weird has that ever happened to you?

Hi JM

Sorry to hear you get nightmares they are the worst I also get a lot of them I have one which I have had reoccurring since childhood and some that are very disturbing. I hate it when you wake up and all you can think about all day is the nightmare.


Cheers for the input folks it's good to know i'm not the only one who has weird dreams i'm sure medication can cause weird dreams.

Your dreams are not weird at all...mine are worse and I had them before being on meds for anxiety. LOL. I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with anxiety or medication. These weird dreams happen to everyone actually.

I really like the site below!  I don't think it is really scientifically proven, lol...but for fun and interest, I have often looked up dreams/nightmares here.

I used to have terrible nightmares when I was going through the height of my anxiety issues.  I still have occasional trouble, and they can really influence your mood!

One of my most recent fortune cookie fortunes read:

"Your Most Memorable Dream Will Come True."

...and I was like, "Hay-ell NO!!"  (I take things quite literally, lol!)

Sweet dreams to all of us tonight! :)

Recently, I keep having a recurring dream that I'm at school or college again and struggle to remember what classes I'm meant to attend. Or just realise I left years ago and just walk out.

I still have that exact dream...and I haven't been in college for many years now!!
