Years ago, when I was working at the height of my mania, I would have anxiety attacks in the middle of the night. Basically, I would dream about my panic of things going wrong at work and my solving crisis after crisis. It would be exahausting when I woke up and actually did go into my workplace - because basically I had already done a full workday in my sleep. I wasn't sleeping much to begin with and thus what sleep I did get was quite terrible. And I repeatedly would wake up in the middle of an attack.
Fast forward six years. I have begun to get these dreams again. I am not working but I still get these 'day in the life of' dreams where I essentially live each day twice. I of course can't fall back asleep because my mind is still working a mile a minute trying to come up with solutions to 'put out the fires'.
I wonder if other people have similar experiences>
