dreams of inescapable fear of loss and loath

I just woke up this morning thankfully to my cats meowing to wake me cause I was in nightmareland again.

I have to get ready for work so I'll be brief. I was back in high school and was in the nurses office telling her my MI and my meds and then the end of day school bell rang and I didn't have a car but could remember my actual address where i am now but had no clue where it was... i was calling 411 for a cab and remember thinking "I really am all alone" having thoughts of not being married anymore, my parents being deceased and not thinking its possible to continue on and then I got woken up.

I've had this type of "back in school" dream before many times and each time it seems more stressful and vivid and real. No fun here, just worry, anxiety, fear, and loathing for the place.

Anybody know how to break the cycle of repeat dreams like this one. I am soo glad to be back in reality now.

Peace.

I honestly think the best way might be to talk to a therapist. Sounds like there might be some underlying issues going on. (I'm not thinking they are "crazy" issues, mind you--just distressing.)
