Anxiety dreams

[spideyman]

I keep having these strange dreams that I need to get up early and get ready.

I’m putting it down to anxiety as I’m really doing nothing all day.

I did think I was still at school a while ago.

I think if I turned up I’d get arrested. I’m 51

Hi Spidey. People think dreams are a passive subconscious event. Let's knock out the sub of conscious, either you are consious on not. Subconscious is a psychological construct to try to make sense of things that we don't have answers for.

Having said that, it means that you can manipulate your dreams. It takes some practice, but start with small changes.

If you are worried in the dream by the police arresting you, add a blue flashing light to their hat. Maybe turn them into keystone cops. If you are running in the dream to a dead end, why not create a door?

This technique can even change false awakening dreams. These are dreams that can leave you disbelieving when you are actually awake.

You have to make a conscious effort to interact with the dream. Sounds far out? Give it a go.

I think you misunderstood me. I’m not worried about being arrested cos there’s nothing to arrest me for. What I did say was at 51 if I turned up at school then I’d be arrested

The principals are the same, it is being aware that it is a dream. When you make that connection, then you can change the story line.

Yes I guess at 51 unless you are a teacher it might not be a good idea. It is a sad fact of life these days everyone is seen as a threat.

Although schools do welcome old boys to take an assembly if you have something to say. I can remember bolling up to my old school years back, and being given free range to have a trip down memory lane, that would not happen these days.

My old school has been knocked down and an even bigger school has been built

Last time I went back to my old stomping ground, the high school had absorbed my old primary school, and the middle school had become the primary school, haven't got a foggy where the middle school ended up. All that and no one asked me 😂

When I was 12 I lived in Hull and attended a school reunion .

Long story short I ended up in bed with a popular lass at the time. Her husband wasn’t best pleased
