"Losing control" dreams
Posted: Sat Mar 18, 2017 10:48 pm
I've been a little (okay, very) stressed out lately and have been working more hours than normal. I'm still a little unsure about my work situation and don't exactly get along with my supervisor or my fellow kitchen attendant... then I return home and am too exhausted to clean house or make dinner. I know my living and work situation and much better than it has been, but I am still feeling out of control. I think this is leading to two different reoccurring nightmares that happen at least twice a week lately. I'm completely open to ideas and insights.
1) Teeth are falling out. (This is the more common of the two.)
In this dream, I will be getting ready for a big event (wedding, graduation, so on) and I will be about done with my makeup when I feel a weird pain in my mouth. I usually find that a tooth or two has fallen out. I completely panic, and while I am crying to Cody about it, more and more teeth start falling out. I usually wake up crying hysterically from it.
2) I slowly become paralyzed.
I will be in the middle of an incredibly busy day at work when I slowly am unable to hold onto cups or plates. I can't walk very well, I can't speak, and so on. By the end of the dream, I am completely unable to move and people are SCREAMING at me to get up and do something. I'll be freaking and trying to beg for help, for someone to call 911 or something... but no one will help me.
