When I am severely depressed I don't remember my dreams very well- they become really vague fragments, but I think they must be distressing because I wake up feeling sad.
When I do have decent dream recall they are often about stressful situation- I'm a passenger in a car with someone who's not driving well; I'm running late to get to the airport and realise I've left my passport and ticket behind; I'm walking along a dark road with cars driving by so close I think they might hit me; or I have to climb difficult obstacles (ie.-huge steep flights of bleachers, with gaps or broken places!) in order to get somewhere...
These are themes that reoccur pretty frequently- I can't remember the last time I had a happy or pleasant dream.
I worry about this- how am I ever going to get better when even my subconscious is obsessing all night long?? When I DO sleep... get insomnia a lot, too- not surprising, I guess.
