Stress in your dream?
What does it mean if I'm constantly stressed in my dreams? Imagine this: I'm dreaming something completely normal, everyday (as normal as dreams can be), and I constantly feel stressed and anxious, afraid that I won't be able to do something or that something will happen. Every time I wake up, I feel completely unrefreshed. What could this mean?
If this happens more often, you should generally look at your life for stress and check your sleeping habits. In the dream, a lot is processed by what we experience and feel during the day, so it can be good that if you don’t take time during the day, you will experience your stress at night. If you actually live a very relaxed life, it’s probably more about how you shape your sleep or the time around it, e.g. if you eat late, look on screens or go to bed so unfavorably in time that you are awakened in a low sleep phase (if you use an alarm clock). However, it is worth looking at both, which also likes to be combined (so if you sleep badly, you feel lighter stress that makes you sleep worse again – if you find a point where you can interrupt the vicious circle, it will be better overall).
