For most of my adult life I have had a disturbing dream on a somewhat regular basis.. it is always the same to the smallest detail.. and it always upsets me deeply..and usually will reoccur several times over concurrent nights.. I have never understood where it comes from or why..

I had it again last night....

Just a side note though not about work there are work elements in the dream..

Now that I am dxed BP I am beginning to wonder if it is a sign that change is a coming.. it usually comes before a low time.. my changes come slowly and over long time spans..

Just wondering if anyone else has noticed this in their self.. and does anyone have an idea how to make a dream like this go away and never return... Ty...

I'd try to find the root cause of the dream.
I used to have a terrifying reoccurring dream as a child.
I still have no idea why I had it the way I did.

Maybe talk to a therapist about it. Pay attention to how you feel during the dream, colors, and things that seem to stick out.

It is a highly technical dream,, involving blueprints and wiring leading to a very deadly risk.. my role is to dismantle it before people die.. and it is always exzactly the same.. I keep trying to change the out come but am never sucessful.. I am never in danger always others... really does not SEEM to be childhood related.. but who knows..

This sounds really silly but it has helped me. I have/mostly used to have PTSD related nightmares. They tend to play on a loop and for a long time scared me badly enough I just did not want to sleep (not good for someone who is heading for a bipolar diagnosis). My therapist told me to think of something I was looking for in the dream, like the purple socks with green polka dots, and to remind myself before I went to sleep to look for that. I did, I would typically see the socks and the nightmare part would end or I'd wake up enough to turn over and go back to sleep without the dream. I did not believe it would help but it did. It's worth a try at least just because it doesn't cost anything.
