Same here. I wonder how that happens. My dreams were once a comfort to me, and full of imagery --information--. Now, there are repetitive themes but just a handful, and all result in waking in distress, in the past/or at work, all leave me with a lousy feeling that is hard to shake off. And I have had no changes in meds/other things for a long time....I am thinking it is age, and an accumulation of losses, or maybe since I stopped doing some jobs...maybe I am able to experience the awful feelings I kept at bay...who knows but it really bothers me-----used to enjoy dreams, kept notebooks etcc....all destroyed now. .....
I try to just get up right away and do something to shake off the feelings but it bothers me to know I am doing this.
