Oh, my brain has cooked up a much bigger menu of recurring awfulness. Like a weekly pop-up restaurant, here's what's on offer from time to time:

Appetizers

  • forgot to study for exam
  • forgot locker combo
  • forgot where next class is
  • wander endlessly through the backrooms
  • sampler platter (a little bit of everything on this list)

Entrees

  • teeth fall out
  • show up naked to class
  • can't pull anything together at work

Dessert

  • car completely disintegrates while driving on freeway
  • standing in a skyscraper as its falling over
  • elevator floor drops out

Clearly there's a theme around helplessness and anxiety. I am indeed in the process of sorting that out, but it's a long process.

forgot to study for exam

Can't forget to study if you never studied.

Ooh, I get the "forgot to study for an exam" stress-dream as well. It's awful.

I tick lots of these. I also have a fear of heights so it's like sometimes the dream stage turns into the roof of a building and obviously I have to look down
