Do you have any recurring dreams/themes?
I do. It's the one where I'm getting dressed for school. More specifically, I'm getting dressed for High School. And I can't figure out what to wear. I change outfits, or parts of outfits, repeatedly. I'm running late due to this crisis of clothes, and yet I keep changing. It's an awful dream because being late is one of those things that stresses me out. Who wants to be stressed out in dreams?! Not me.
There's a variation on this theme, one that's a little more applicable to my life now. In this variation, I'm packing to either leaving college and heading home, or leaving home and heading to college. And I can't pack right/fast enough and I'm running out of time. Or I can't find something. Once again, it's a panicky stressful dream.
I think that the worst part is that I've never been late to high school. And as for the college dream, I've never had a problem of not leaving on time because I always pack in advanced. Gah. The only time I've ever forgotten something was over the summer when I forgot my apartment key. We were coming down to drop a bunch of stuff off and to make sure my apartment was ready for me to move into. We were one street away from the one I live on when I realized..."Oh hey guys...I don't have my key." And it was a Sunday so the office wasn't open for me to get my spare. Boy, did I feel dumb. Luckily I was only dropping stuff off and not moving in.
Back to the topic at hand: I hate stressful dreams because they really put a damper on my day.

First off, thanks for the link!
I hate having bad dreams. I end up feeling edgy all day. Especially awful are the ones I can't really remember, yet I awaken with a feeling of overall anxiety. Takes all day to shake it off.
My recurring dream, which I haven't had in a while, is one in which all of my teeth fall out! I looked it up once in a dream analysis book, but the so-called interpretation wasn't very satisfying. Sort of lumped in with a bunch of other "insecurity type" interpretations. Sounded like a lot of hooey to me.
I definitely have the ones that cause anxiety, yet I have no idea what the dream was about.
I don't really buy into the "dream analysis" stuff either. How can everyone's dreams mean the same thing (or similar)?
I have a dream all every so often about the end of the world is coming or there a massive war happening. Either way, the result is the same, I can't find my family and none of the phones work. I've been known to wake up freaked out and call my mother to make sure that she's still alive in the middle of the night. I hate that dream and it ruins my day every single time. Hopefully, one day soon, I'll realize that it was only a dream.
Ick, what an awful dream. In the vein of awful dreams like that--I used to have dreams of being with my family in our minivan while being chased by a tornado. Luckily my grandmother drives like crazy and always outran the tornado, but it was still so awful!
