My Anxiety Dream…

I keep struggling with anxiety dreams, and waking up after only 3-5 hours of sleep since roughly the beginning of Oct.

The last set really has set me into a state as it triggered one of my big stress triggers, the need to be competent and accurate. Even now as the details of the dream are slipping away, the anxiety remains, the self doubt remains and most importantly the fear remains.

What I remember is that I had to write and fill out an entire document establishing and detailing how to go about something or other. I remember having an opinion on it but it only being that, an opinion. I had zero confidence that my “feelings” on the subject matter would make for an accurate guide on something. Ugh. I don’t know why.

Normally I try to not share dreams with anyone too much since dreams are weird, but this one I needed to get off my chest somehow. I want to go back to sleep but now my body is wired. I wish I knew what kind of advise to ask for, but like, how does one protect against one’s own dreams?
