I have dreams all the time that are focused on:

Getting lost
Losing things, such as my car in a parking lot
Forgetting things, such as my locker combination
Suddenly discovering I am naked and not being able to find any clothes
Being rejected or abandoned
Making mistakes, screwing up, being inept and inadequate

Any idea why I dream things like this over and over again?

Also, I often wake up drenched in sweat, to the point where my nightclothes are totally soaked, as well as the sheet underneath me. I don't sweat at all during the day (if anything, I tend to be on the cold side), so I don't think it is peri-menopause related. I am on anti-D's, which could explain some of it. But it mostly happens when I've been dreaming. Also, I've had medical exams, which show no medical problems like thyroid trouble.

The dreams and sweating are getting really old! I wake up feeling My husband doesn't want to cuddle with me in bed because I'm always a sweaty mess. Also, I wake up feeling anxious and it's hard to feel good about myself when I'm always dreaming about being inadequate.

Night sweats are just that, during the night, so it could be menopausal related if you are between the ages of about 38-52. But there are other causes too, including your anti-D:

The dreams are probably your depression too, or the meds, etc.:

I'd talk to your doctor again, see if he's (and you) are willing to tweak your meds, try a different one maybe, see if there's any changes.

You are letting to for your need for your car. It is not as important for you as it was in the past. You are feeling volurenable. You fear rejection when you make common misstakes in life.
