Stress

Dream

I was at a conference put on by my friend Wendy VanderWal-Martin. It was quite informal and seemed to take place in a large, house-like environment. My sense was that the conference was over, and I was constantly going back and forth helping people find rides home and so on. My stress was building because I didn’t know if I had a ride home. Wendy called to me, “Robbie, we’re waiting for you! You should communicate better!” I replied, “No one told me you were giving me a ride home! Why didn’t you tell me?” (This kind of thing happens often in my dreams—I’m trying to find a piece of information or be somewhere in particular, but a dream character will get upset with me for not having information I was looking for the whole time!)

Stress

Dream

I had two seperate dreams. But the main theme of both was stress. In the second dream, I was catching a flight back to Texas with my dad after shortly arriving home. We had two hours to go and I was still packing and running around the place looking for clothes. I was so stresssed and my vision was blurry. This also all took place at my moms house though my parents don’t live together. I kept looking for my legging and shoes specifically and couldn’t find them. My dad was stressing me out and I was very upset with how poorly he had timed it. We ended up leaving for the airport with an hour left.

Dream

I was shopping in a store browsing at clothes and food. I was with my family, two aunts, some cousins, and my grandmother. One of my aunts left and got in the car with my grandmother. I followed them outside and saw there was a cop yelling my aunt to put the car in park. She could control the gear shift and she accidentally stepped on the gas and the car went into reverse very fast. Me and my cousins were standing around stressed out. The car backed out all the way into the middle of the street and another car hit them. The person in the other car was honking them repeatedly but kept driving super fast and pushing my aunts car out onto the highway and the all the down the highway until they were out of our view.

Dream

I had a dream about where I was really skinny and my little brother made a comment about it, my mom is very religious. I decided to prank my little brother to pretend to be a monster. I was in a basement and it was really big and it was dim. I started shaking and growling like a monster to scare my little brother as a joke and he yelled for my mom to come down to the basement. She thought I was possessed and tried to do an "exercism" on me and I decided to play along but I started to get really stressed out and for some reason I couldn't get my mouth to close

Then down stairs they all started shouting saying there here there here so we looked out and saw a bunch of robot looking people and we both said oh that’s in and we burst out laughing the whole group of about 8 of us left the lodge cabin and walked over to the robots and said there’s your party pointing to the cabin and we all walked off the two boys were walking quite far infront and one of the girls called Connie who goes to my school in real life asked the group which off the boys we all thought was fitter she said the one with brown hair and I said the one with the curly hair then I woke up

Clean
Guilt
Lonely
Pool
Stress

Dream

In my dream I saw myself, or at least who was supposed to be me, like watching myself from someone else’s eyes, like how you watch a movie. I don’t remember much, what I do remember is that the person I saw (me) was sitting by an half empty pool, cleaning out debris and filth. I somehow knew I had a purpose doing this. It was really disgusting work. I was interrupted continuously with other things to do, other things that took away my attention and I forgot about the pool and the filth. And then in the middle of the dream I remembered the pool and that I needed to clean it out and I was taken back there in a blink of an eye, like I had never gone in the first place. This continued on for most of the dream, and it was only when I was by the pool that I saw myself from an outside perspective. When I was pulled away by other things I was myself and experiencing things as myself, not outside my body. I felt a lot of frustration and stress and guilt in this dream. A feeling of not being enough and doing enough but also a feeling of being very lonely.

Dream

I was on a school trip. We were in some sort of big house, a hotel or museum and look out to a big blue lake. Some of my Thai friends I made on my year abroad in Thailand were with me and I explain to them the landscape of my country, that there is no but likes an mountains like outside of this building and point with my finger out of the window. Suddenly we were outside, close to the lake, whose water was clear and calm, no waves. There was some sort of grandstand, made out of stairs and no roof. On the stairs sat some of my Thai friends. Since my Thai is very broken, I tried to communicate to them about me coming back this summer to see them (something I’ll actually do). But they didn’t understand me so one of the girls told me to get her phone to translate. I look back and notice that we’re pretty high up the stairs and that there was a white table with her phone on, right behind me on the stairs. Although we used the phone the communication still didn’t work as smooth, and starts to stress me out, fearing I’d be inconvenient to her.

Dream

I had a dream last night that i was at work at the cancer clinic. My coworker chris and lupita were being mean to me and giving me all their work. Chris was beaing condescending and rude. I told Jonah the Nurse practitioner because I felt like he’s the only person there that will have my back. He told them that only eagles fans pick on people like that. That’s a joke he commonly uses because Chris is an eagles fan. In another part of my dream i told jonah my blood pressure was high and he seemed concerned. I woke up clenching my jaw
