Dream Anxiety

Hello, I was wondering if anyone else ever experiences dream anxiety? Mine has been bad lately but I dont want to talk to anyone about it as they may think im crazy. A few months ago my mother had beat cancer, but recently I have been having dreams of her dying or becoming ill. To top this, she hasn't been feeling well at all the past few days. I have also had a few dreams involving much confusion and sometimes murder! Over the weekend I had acquired an eye twitch that has become very irritated. I dont feel overwhelmingly stressed, but my body just might be!

You need to discuss this with someone you trust or your Doctor, it seems to stem from Anxiety and the illness your Mother had suffered.

Sometimes if the brain is overactive with worry and Anxiety, this can cause dreams as you mull over past concerns.

Have you tried MINDFULNESS Relaxation Technique, before bed or as you are trying to sleep.

Do you need CBT to talk out your concerns ?. If this is the case your Doctor may be able to help

dreams simply regusritate things we see and think daily. Sometimes mixing it up in a weird scenario. It is ok to dream about stressful events, as it is exactly how our brain "flushes" itself from bad emotions. You probably dont remember most dreams you have during sleep, but there are probably many different ones, and you just happened to wake up to these.

Remember - it is actually very soothing and self-curing thing fro us to do.

You should rather try and coupe with your parent illness in real life, rather than the imaginary dream world. After you will come to terms with that, your dreams will click to something else or be more peaceful.

I recall I had massive anxieties few years back, and I had weirdest dream ever, that I was with many unknown and known people, and at some point something like a nuclear bomb went off near us, and the wave of light came onto us. I recall my family was there, and few second later, in some building I fell down, and the nuclear firewall engulfed me fully, I felt it burning, and my thoughts were - this is how people die, and felt immense love for my family, and then felt something like "No, I will revenge whoever did this to them!" (note this all events and thoughts happened in like a second) and despite now being fully in this non-translucent white burning light, I felt I am not burning anymore. I felt I will survive, as if some sort of inner energy kept me alive. I woke up. I was in room, half-sitting, sunny day outside and I felt like I woke up in heaven for few minutes.

Rethinking that dream and feelings I think my deepest instincts were saying something as "No matter what, you have iron will and you will endure". I felt it like a signal from my deepest forgotten ego, that I will never ever break no matter what happens in life.

Kept that feeling with me since.
