An Anxiety Dream? Again?

An Anxiety Dream? Again? I had an anxiety dream last night. I haven't had one in over two years. I wonder. I wonder if there have been any studies that correlate a lapse in anxiety/dark thoughts/nightmares with a brain bleed. Because I can't help but notice that my brain, in terms of anxiety/depression, is better, notably in the two years since I've had the stroke. I wouldn't recommend it, as far as improving the symptoms of mental illness. Now I have a …

These aren't the only kind of dreams I have, b…

So I've been having this recurring dream

So I've been having this recurring dream So I've been having this recurring dream in which I need to be somewhere, but I can't leave. I'm never sure where exactly I am, and every time I have the dream the location is different. The locations and the specific reasons why I'm stuck differ. In one, I'm at a party in a house that feels familiar. More specifically, there is a party happening, but I'm alone in a back room looking for something to wear. It's dim,…
