Recurring bad dream-dread about project not done
It is I get this overwhelming feeling of dread knowing that I have this project due and I haven't even started it-- even though I keep telling her that it's on the way and I'm working on it, and it's been past due for a while and she periodically keeps asking about it and I keep giving the same answer. Then I wake up. The it dawned on me just a few minutes ago-- do you think it has something to do with the big project coming up for oes.org???!!!!? It makes a ton of sense! I'm not dreading the project although the scope is large and somewhat daunting. I've never experienced dreams with a dread emotion before. In the distant past I've had falling dreams and being chased (kinda) dreams, none of which have ever involved injury, although the giant tree planter attacking my parent's car with me in the back seat at the red light was kind of scary. Any dreamologists out there, pro or amateur? |

| Yep I reckon it could be about the big forum project.
I have an undergrad degree in psychology, does that count in the dreamologist stakes? 
Whenever I've got something really big coming up I dream I'm back in the exam room at Uni, there are hundreds of students all sitting at the exam desks around me writing feverishly and I havent opened the paper yet because I didnt go to lectures and I didnt do any study. 
Its awful, I keep thinking "why am I here? I cant pass, I dont know ANYTHING about this subject!" Then I wake up feeling all stressed and anxious.  |

| I've got no qualifications whatsoever, and I'd be willing to bet that your dream is tied into whatever anxiety you feel about how overwhelming a job updating OES.org must be. I say do a big fund drive, and hire someone else to do the hard stuff! No one would grudge you that. |
| ah but did you cross your arms as well?
That would mean you are unconsciously creating a barrier and a) have something to hide or b) dont wish to co operate |
| Crossed my legs away, turned away slighty in the chair, folded my arms and began to touch my face quite a bit. |
| Be careful, I just might have to get a second opinion on having you committed.
Being crazy enough to shepherd this mad flock especially in the wee hours of the morning is probably proof enough. |
| Who cares if he is crazy or is perhaps sitting at the computer with no pants on or is wearing curlers in his hair?
He does such a good job with the forum and for the most part seems harmless. 
If you don't count the occasional bad joke. 
Yep, Ron. That is definitely the source of your dream. I had a similar dream situation a year ago except it involved going on stage unprepared but I think it was tied into doing stuff for the club that was overwhelming me. |
| My anxiety dream is that I'm getting married- IN AN HOUR and I have nothing prepared. I beg my mum to take me shopping but she laughs at me saying we don't have time. I wake up sweating & crying 'I'm not ready!!!'.
I get that dream whenever my subconscious decides my conscious mind has no sense of urgency  |
| I've had recurring late for a show/trial dreams for at least a quarter of a century. It used to be horses. I was late for a show, the horse wasn't groomed, I couldn't find my horse, I couldn't find my tack, I got there too late to walk the course, I WAS NOT PREPARED <aaahhhhhhgghhhhh>
Now I have late for agility trial dreams. I'll never get there in time, the dog isn't groomed, I can't find my dog (OK, the horse, I get, but dogs that you spend your life tripping over???   ), I can't find the trial, I got there too late to walk the course, I have to run UNPREPARED.
It always ends with me waking up in a cold sweat. What bugs me is the lack of imagination my sub-conscious has.
Sorry, Ron. I think my dreams are pretty literal so I've never spent much time trying to interpret them, meaning I'll have to go with Mim's interpretation of yours, though I will serve as a second opinion if she needs a signature to have you committed, oh, wait, I CAN'T FIND MY PEN, Mim is there a deadline on this...??? Argh.....  :twitch:

| I'm sorry about that bad dream stuff. From a medical standpoint, the dread feeling is described as a feeling of "impending doom" and is documented often before heart attacks , strokes and the like by some people.....there, don't you feel better??? ....sorry!
Big things don't usually cause dreams, for me they show up as trouble falling asleep - mind in overdrive! I know there are many, many insomniacs on here, but not me! I literally fall asleep moments after my head hits the pillow. So for me even 15 minutes to fall asleep is a crisis! Last night was one of those nights. I have work 12 hrs today. Saturday am is a 2 hr drive to a snow pull, overnight stay at a motel w/ Chewie, then Sunday am our 1st agility trial (also in the Twin Cities metro, hence the motel stay). I am prepared - I have all 3 destinations programmed in the Garmin, motel reservatiopn made and confirmed. Paperwork for both events laid out. Chewie bathed and all brushed out, did feet trimming yesterday. Nail trimmers and spare hair binders (for Chewie) packed. All I need to pack is him, I, his food and my clothes. So why was I sleepless last night?????
And brutal for the 5:30 am alarm clock |
| I have reoccurring dreams where I'm trying to punch someone and can't punch or I'm trying to scream and can't scream or trying to run and can't run.... you get the picture. |
Yup...that's an anxiety dream all right 
I get them all the time. Mine almost always have to do with art fairs...here's an example:............ I show up to set up for a show, and the organizer tells me that my space has been changed...here, she says, "follow me"....so we go to the basement, and she tells me that my booth space is in this tiny little tiled bathroom!!!! then 3 more art vendors are led in, and we are told we all have to share the space! ....so I go to try and set up, only to realize I forgot all my displays at home!
It keeps getting worse from there, but, you get the idea I have this dream (or a variant on it) almost every time I approach a show deadline. |
| I've been having bad dreams about spotted cucumber beetles in my vegetable garden. I hate those evil things. |
