I had a bad dream on friday night, I took a nap on saturday afternoon, I had another dream, and in this dream, I was telling my friends about the dream i had the night before, but then I realize that this is probably not real and a dream too because everything felt too odd to be real, so I'm just walking around, not doing anything waiting for the dream to end, and eventually it ends, and I woke up.
I don't remember most of my dreams, but this is the second or possibly third time where I was in a dream where I am talking to someone about a previous dream that I had. My dreams are never supernatural, they're kind of like.... me reliving bad stories I hear on the news, possibly putting myself in the victims' shoes. This is in contrast to the kind of dreams I had a year or two ago, most of them were pleasant, ethereal and dream-like, but now my dreams mostly involve me in real life situations, like for example, I had this dream where a shadowy figure (possibly masked) waiting behind the kitchen door hit me in the face with a blunt object (All I could see was a hand), if there's one good thing that came out of that dream for me is that I'm a lot more careful around the house. Not paranoid or anything, but I am always on the lookout. About a month ago, i had a dream where I'm sleeping in my bedroom, I wake up as three masked men open my door and stand there for a second before one of them moves in to do something to me, with a blunt object in his hands again. Dream ended right there, I woke up. I think this is my dreams telling me how insecure i am on the inside, it's telling me to not trust people so easily? or is the news affecting me so badly that I have to put myself in the shoes of the victims? I also have nightmares where I wake up too late for an exam, or I remember my old dog, but I miss my pleasant dreams.... sleeping was escape to me, now I don't even have that. It has been taken replaced by all these nightmares, that are like some kind of cautionary tales where I'm the protagonist or victim. My dreams are bad but they haven't affected me negatively in real life, but I guess my mind is just kind of paranoid. Somewhere deep inside of my subconscious, I'm very afraid? |

I rarely remember details of my dreams these days, but they do seem to express insecurity in general.
One thing I notice: I never in the dream realize it is a dream. Only after waking do I know that.

Look at what is going on in real life. Is there a situation in real life that is causing you to feel the way you do in dreams. What has changed in you waking life recently?

It doesn't really worry me when I'm awake, I'm not a paranoid individual, I go out and get stuff done, but I have really bad dreams I wish I didn't have. |

"Wait a minute, I've had dreams like this before, this is so obviously just a dream" was my exact thought before waking up a few moments later. The dream got progressively more ridiculous. people I hadn't seen in years showing up out of nowhere, still somehow looking the same they did 10 years ago. |

Feelings of not making it on your own type dream. Probably a subtle message given to you by your parents when you were growing up. Thus the "what if" threats. You are doing well, better dreams will soon return.

Be easy on yourself, do not feel so guilty about moving out. Thus you will not feel so exhausted.
