    Oh, my brain has cooked up a much bigger menu of recurring awfulness. Like a weekly pop-up restaurant, here’s what’s on offer from time to time:

    Appetizers

    • forgot to study for exam
    • forgot locker combo
    • forgot where next class is
    • wander endlessly through the backrooms
    • sampler platter (a little bit of everything on this list)

    Entrees

    • teeth fall out
    • show up naked to class
    • can’t pull anything together at work

    Dessert

    • car completely disintegrates while driving on freeway
    • standing in a skyscraper as its falling over
    • elevator floor drops out

    Clearly there’s a theme around helplessness and anxiety. I am indeed in the process of sorting that out, but it’s a long process.

      Ooh, I get the “forgot to study for an exam” stress-dream as well. It’s awful.

      I tick lots of these. I also have a fear of heights so it’s like sometimes the dream stage turns into the roof of a building and obviously I have to look down
