Dear Nala5065,

All dreams mean something.
Something has been bothering you for a period of time and you have not dealt with so it is now unfolding/coming out in your dreams.
I am a bit confused, did/have you gone back to your doctor and did he not prescribe different meds? What i am asking was this a dream that played out in real life?

If so, I would see a different doctor. Sleep medications have a tendency to not be as effective if you have been on them for a while, the same as pain meds, therefore you should be firm with your doctor and don't wait until January.
The emotional parts of your dreams, anxiety, fear, loss and pain. Twisted with presumptions of worst case expectations. Next time you have a dream, know that you are in control and there are no expectations. Allow the dream to tell itself.
Good/Bad allow it to unfold as it does. Then work with what you have. l

The second dream, of missed opportunity to tell/show someone you cared about something important. Them leaving without saying goodbye. This is sadness.

Dreams don't go the way you expect them to but they can help us understand unresolved feelings.
I hope this helps,
Happiedasiy
